A swift hour long excursion into the unknown. Expect the unexpected from host Tom Cathcart as almost anything goes: techno, post-punk, minimal synth, dub and new wave. Don’t be a prude.

Cutting edge East African club sounds from Kampala's finest party starter.

Michiko Naruke

Michiko Naruke has been played on NTS shows including Otaku, with Wild Arms first played on 16 August 2022.

Michiko Naruke (なるけ みちこ, Naruke Michiko?) is a Japanese video game music composer, well-known for her work in the Wild Arms series.

Naruke used to work for Telenet Japan and Riot, but many people who worked for these two companies left, and along with Naruke, later started working for Media.Vision. She has composed music for games outside of the Wild ARMs series, such as Psycho Dream on the Super Famicom and the Tenshi no Uta series on the PC Engine. While it has been speculated that Naruke composed under the psudonym "Hassy" for the @MIDI albums, the composer herself has stated that Hassy is a separate individual.

She has made a number of songs for Media.Vision's Wild ARMs series. Occasionally, the main theme and ending theme of the Wild ARMs songs will contain lyrics, formerly being sang by Machiko Watanabe and Kaori Asoh. Most recently, for the tenth anniversary, a new vocalist has been introduced, Nana Mizuki. Her compositions in the Wild ARMs series include her signature whistling parts, whistled by Naoki Takao. Naruke has composed more than 400 songs for the Wild ARMs series. However, during the development of Wild ARMs: The 4th Detonator, Naruke fell ill, marking the first time in the Wild ARMs series that she did not compose the entire soundtrack.
