CDMX TAPES W/ BITTER BABE & NIC AS WELL

Mexican record label, Naafi, settle in at NTS for a showcase of the weirdest experimentations in club culture that have bubbled to the surface of Soundcloud. Dazed rhythms converging into Jersey stutters, and tumblr-era trap for two straight hours on a Monday.

Rap Vacation w/ Sparklmami

Hailing from Chicago by way of Bryan, Texas, Sparklmami presents an eclectic mix of Funk, Soul, R&B, and World music for this months installment of Rap Vacation Radio.

Dub Rocksteady Ska

Formed initially in 1962 by Winston Riley and a group of youth club friends, The Techniques were first recorded by club owner and future prime minister Edward Seaga. As ska slowed to rocksteady and morphed to reggae, and Jamaican music booned in popularity across the world towards the 1970s, Riley remained the one permanent member of The Techniques, honing his production craft and creating hits that would break the US and UK charts. He created music tirelessly, well into the 21st Century until his passing in 2012.

Enjoy an hour of some of Jamaica's best music from a reggae polymath on this In Focus.
