Justis Brokenrope (Sičháŋǧu Lakȟóta) is a musician and educator currently residing in Bdé Óta Othúŋwe, Mní Sóta (Minneapolis, Minnesota). Wathéča Radio is an offshoot of Wathéča Records, a label and archival project focused on North American indigenous artists who were often overlooked in the canons of rock, folk, and country music.
Brokenrope hosts his radio shows completely in Dakhóta, the eastern dialect of the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (the seven Lakota and Dakota tribal nations), and the original language of the land he presently resides on. Anáǧoptaŋ po!
Gassy’s NTS transmissions are radiophonic arrays of old and new soundwaves, spanning the psychedelic, bass dubs, synth odysseys and rave memories. Simply add a pinch of special herbs and spices and bring to the boil.

Ed Horrox, the creative director and A&R from 4AD joins NTS once a month for an hour of his personal favourites, which can be pretty much anything: hip-hop, house, found ‘classics’, esoteric century-old jazz recordings, and then occasionally some of those unreleased leftfield pop bangers that 4AD seem to be so good at finding.
