My NTS
Live now
1
London
03:00 - 05:00

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

2
Zurich
03:00 - 04:00

Zurich-based Jenny Cara brings the heat with a blend of cheerful and hard-hitting house, creating a space that celebrates community, history, and pure energy.

Oku Onuora

Oku Onuora

Oku Onuora has been played on NTS shows including Doing Time , with Dub Out first played on 30 June 2020.

Oku Onuora surfaced on the reggae scene in 1978 with the dub poet anthem "Reflections In Red". He debuted with the excellent Pressure Drop set which is regarded as one of dub poetry's classic sets. His style is quite similar to Mutabaruka, but his lyrics are uncomprimising, dealing with social issues and consciousness. Along with Mutabaruka and Linton Kwesi Johnson, Oku Onuora is pre-eminent as defining the genre "Dub Poetry". Oku Onuora promoted the designation "dub poetry" in 1979, meaning "a poem that has a built-in reggae rhythm … one can distinctly hear the reggae rhythm coming out of the poem". In addition, however, Onuora has proven himself to be a major player in the ranks.
