BRADLEY ZERO PRESENTS: RHYTHM SECTION w/ Mayurashka

Rhythm Section Radio was founded in 2009 and moved to NTS in 2012, and has since pulled out the stops breaking new music, promoting independent labels and paying homage to the greatest music from the past, through a perhaps unhealthy obsession with record digging.

KEEL HER

Prolific London based DIY & lo-fi pop producer Keel Her heads to the studio for a show once a month.

Free Jazz Modal Spiritual Jazz

A trip through the catalogue of short-lived but deeply influential label Black Jazz Records. Founded by Gene Russell in Oakland, the label ran from 1971 to 1975, focussing on showcasing Black musicians, and exploring free jazz, funk, soul jazz, along with spiritual themes and at times explicit political rhetoric.
