stumbled on this yesterday and wow! i had heard his latest track on the NTS breakfast show the other week and didn’t really look it up although i enjoyed it then i stumbled on the track on the evil corp music app and my mind was blowwn—aboriginal australian artist keanu nelson, from a remote community called Papunya,, ive been really into alternative independent scenes in places all around the world and this is deff the most interesting thing ive found so far. the legend also has an NTS show of his own,, plays his own music mostly as well as some monologues in the native language and im hyper intrigued by this because im not privy to any aboriginal knowledge or context and this tickles my brain in such a nice way!
ive been obsessing over nts lately. i used to listen mostly just to clairo’s monthly shows (they’re a whole recommendation of their own lol) and maybe a couple other sets here and there but the past month and especially this past week, its what i’ve listened to the most. it’s made me fall in love with music and audio all over again. great way to discover new music and genres and go deeper into whatever your taste are. so refreshing and theres a discord too which is very sweet. support if u can, 50% of the proceeds go to the artists:) some of my favorites:

I don't touch spotify as much these days, their discovery algo just isn't great. NTS radio is playing in my apt basically all day — go download the app, tune in live to one of their 2 stations or browse their archive of shows, exceptionally well curated sets from tastemakers and djs from all over. linked is a very fun set from last month, psych rock soundtrack kinda vibes and how I'm starting my day
im sure many of you know about it already but...cool internet radio station that i have found to be a great way to find new stuff to listen to. all sorts of genres and music from all over the world, guest mixes by artists you may know and like, and the In Focus series is a fun way to dive into a favorite artist's deep cuts.
For people who spend as much time together as we do,, there’s such little photos of us together—i love this man an inexplicable amount these are from a couple of weeks ago when we went to Maboneng for some chicken dust n skopo (fuckn good jozi cuisine)—felt soo good just being niggas in the dust—it had been a while and then we ended up at a Go Skate Day afterparty punk show in Newtown and had the best time we’ve had being outside in a whileee,, such a good saturday
still dont understand what kind of sorcery this is but a spotify profile with all the music from every NTS show in a series of spotify playlists 🤯 must be like a gajillion songs on here
