THE TIM & BARRY SHOW

Tim & Barry have been documenting underground music since 2000. Journey from the latest UK drill back in time to classic grime and garage, all the way to afrobeats, dancehall and RnB. Expect the unexpected.

GEOLOGIST PRESENTS: THE O'BRIEN SYSTEM

Brian Weitz has been making music as Geologist with Animal Collective for going on two decades. The egg first cracked in the mid 90's at Baltimore record fairs and long overnight radio shows in New York on WKCR. Whether making sounds in the practice space or playing records, his bandmates call it the O'Brien System. One Tuesday each month you can go there with him on NTS 2.

Selections from a loosely linked, and often overlooked collective of post punk scenes and artists from the Midlands, featuring music from Spaceman 3, O Yuki Conjugate, Au Pairs and others.
