London

Nkisi a.k.a Melika Ngombe Kolongo heads up a monthly late slot to rattle through dozens of tracks at breakneck speed, her mixes punctuated by African club beats and tinged by the jagged edges of gabber.

Soft-touch home listening selections live from LA every month with Luke Mele. Traversing ambient, jazz, guitar tones and more.

Iona Fortune

Iona Fortune hosted a guest show on 6 February 2018. Iona Fortune has been played on NTS over 30 times, featured on 35 episodes and was first played on 25 November 2015.

Inspired by Eastern philosophy, in particular the I Ching, Glasgow-based Iona Fortune's music is loosely fitting in with Fourth World concepts imagined by Jon Hassell, and indeed she meshes traditional guzheng and gamelan with lustrous tones from a Synthi AKS that provides an incredible sub-bass throb. However, Fortune’s is an exercise in deep contemplation that isn’t afraid of baring it’s teeth. As opposed to so many Ambient albums riding revivalist waves right now, she seems aware of a basic truth that sound rarely works in one dimension. She aligns tradition and technology in a way that seems expansive and new, almost revolutionary; instead of creating soothing background sounds she makes use of grit and abrasion.
