Channeling w/ Ivan Smagghe & Nathan Gregory Wilkins

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.

EDNA MARTINEZ: Picó Essentials

In anticipation of the release of Pico Sound System Culture from the Colombian Caribbean on Strut Records, this episode takes a closer look at three artists featured on this compilation. Tracing the journey of their music from South Africa, Congo, and São Tomé into the heart of Colombia’s Caribbean picó culture and the sound of champeta.

Fourth World Ambient New Age Jazz Fusion

Composer and modular synth expert Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith presents TouchThePlants on NTS' Los Angeles studio once a month for a round-up of favourites and inspirations from her label TouchThePlants.

Meg Shoemaker aka GEM lives and works in Los Angeles, California. She spends her time curating music happenings, with a pointed focus on deep-listening, and the underlying concept of ceremony. She aims to find a cross-over between music, and the ethereal realms of meditation and ritual.

GEM loves djing vinyl whenever possible. Inspired by the "all-genre" movement coming out of Los Angeles through Leaving Records, and the rich community of artists here, she plays what inspires her with a deep draw to fourth world, ambient, experimental jazz, and new age. That said, when it's time to dance, there is no shortage of disco in her life.
