really digging this ambient/mellow Luke Mele show from Jan. 23rd

Is there a proper way to see a live updated tracklist of NTS1/NTS2, as it's being played?
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 18 February 2019 10:40 (five years ago) link
no but there's always IDs in the chat

I usually avoid chatrooms like the plague but this one pays off. Thanks Nick!
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 18 February 2019 10:57 (five years ago) link
on some shows the DJ will respond in the chat, other shows they'll post the setlist in the chat while the show is going out
― goats eat grandma (NickB), Monday, 18 February 2019 11:03 (five years ago) link
As much as I listen to NTS, somehow I've never found the chat!

Had no idea there was a chat. The NTS digital presence looks great, and looks like it should be easy to navigate, but it isn't at all. Fortunately, the self-selected audience doesn't mind digging around and being baffled. Am I on Mixcloud? Will this archived set show a playlist? What happens when i click on a new show while one is playing? It seems different each time, but the delight of the programming outweighs frustration.

Ah I had that for a short while, but you'll get used to these things quickly. I kind of like having to put in *some* effort as a listener to find your way around idk. Never knew about the cht either, but that's because it's the last thing I'd look for. Proves useful for track id's though!
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 18 February 2019 16:18 (five years ago) link
chat gets pretty lively at times, mostly during uk mornings (charlie bones show), also for ruf dug and moxie and flo and a few other afternoon things. those djs do tend to talk back to the chat a lot, so sometimes stuff makes more sense if you're in there. it's mostly nonsense but it's quite funny sometimes
― goats eat grandma (NickB), Monday, 18 February 2019 16:29 (five years ago) link
i listen to charlie bones early morning at the gym and then entertain myself at work by scrolling way back into the chat to get all the track ids i missed.

As part of the Warp Records takeover on NTS Radio, Brian Eno has teamed up with Extinction Rebellion to create an hour long piece which will be broadcast on Sunday June 23rd at 16.00 BST - https://nts.live/wxaxrxp

Wishing for a round-up review of all the Warp shows, or an old-school liveblog.

The Mixcloud archives are going up now. There still isn't a great way to download & listen offline, is there (aside from 'Mixcloud Select')?
― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:00 (four years ago) link
There are very easy paste-and-save services but you’ve still got 40kbps files at the end

anyone else now lost the ability to pause and rewind shows and getting a message about subscribing to mixcloud premium instead?
― the creator has a mazda van (NickB), Tuesday, 1 October 2019 15:34 (four years ago) link
mixcloud premium is the worst
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 1 October 2019 15:51 (four years ago) link
I've never been able to rewind on mixcloud (free, in the US), can at least pause though.
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 1 October 2019 16:03 (four years ago) link
TBH I kind of wish that NTS would join that new "Mixcloud Select" thing so that we can get offline access via the Mixcloud app. I'd pay a fiver a month for that, given how extensive the NTS archive is.
I find it baffling that Mixcloud Premium doesn't include offline access, which is pretty much the one thing they could offer that I'd feel incentivised to pay for.
― bamboohouses, Wednesday, 2 October 2019 11:07 (four years ago) link
I mightconsider premium if they improved their app which is very glitchy, at least for me. I'll really miss the ability to scroll through NTS shows uninhibited.
― millmeister, Wednesday, 2 October 2019 13:54 (four years ago) link
this kinda sucks, oh well. I usually put them on and just listen through anyway
― sleeve, Wednesday, 2 October 2019 13:55 (four years ago) link
mixcloud app (via the nts app) has always been super clunky, it flakes out all the time

i've actually been digging the infinite mixtapes a little, poolside cracks me up i love it
― marcos, Thursday, 3 October 2019 20:44 (four years ago) link
i don't want to be hyperbolic but like this site fucking rules. i don't really listen to much else. there is so MUCH
some of my favorite hosts
siren -adventurous and fun dance music, and a reminder that trance is cool again which i am pleased about because i've always loved trancegost zvuk - weird electronic music exclusively from former soviet republicsdoing time for airy laid back balaeric, reggae, soft rockradio jiro for similar vibesbumpin on sunset for similar vibes donna leake, the best jazz fusion, nts jazz shows in general are fucking awesomemoxie for the house musiccircuits for the house musiconra's been playing a lot of boogie and gfunk latelyautotune the world's cumbia episodes made me listen to cumbia for a month, the only substantial non-nts listening i did this summerrhythm connection plays all KINDS of good dance music but the DJyayo - honestly i can't remember what yayo plays but i feel like i am always favoriting their episodesking britt for wild synth ambient kosmiche electronicfelix hall for dancehallrhythm section w/ bradley zero always has good music of all kinds but christ he needs to shut the fuck up, one of those djs who can't just let a track play but has to interrupt constantly. you think he's done when he gives a single shoutout or a track name -- he'll turn the volume back up ---then he turns it back down to give another shoutout -- volume up and i tink I AM FREE TO HEAR THIS AMAZING TRACK but nope here is another shoutout, then another, then a story about how he found that piece of wax at the corner shop back in the day, meanwhile the track is three minutes in and you give up

rhythm connection plays all KINDS of good dance music but the DJ
lol i started to type this but midway realized i was talking about rhythm section instead
― marcos, Thursday, 3 October 2019 21:08 (four years ago) link
Bradly Zero is insufferable. Wasn't he one of the Boiler Room hosts for a while?Do You my most listened to show.
― millmeister, Thursday, 3 October 2019 21:27 (four years ago) link

rhythm connection djs are the best, love listening to them natter <3
jonny mons plays a great mix of electronic / balearic / oddwave stuff

would prefer if they did a pledge drive, but signed up anyway
― lukas, Thursday, 2 July 2020 20:54 (three years ago) link
i think a pledge drive is something most people in the UK / Europe are not very familiar with.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 2 July 2020 22:38 (three years ago) link
I just love the idea of NTS residents standing by to take my call, though
― lukas, Thursday, 2 July 2020 22:41 (three years ago) link
the funding of nts has always been a mystery to me! will be happy to sign up to this though - probably listen to about 60-70 hours of nts per month, so it's the least i could do
― Boris the Spreader (NickB), Thursday, 2 July 2020 22:45 (three years ago) link
(the joke being that public radio stations in the US do these annual pledge drives for donations where they spend what seems like half of air time asking you to call to donate, with coffee mugs and symphony tickets to entice you - it feels like you've wandered into a school selling baked goods for the girls volleyball team)
― lukas, Thursday, 2 July 2020 22:50 (three years ago) link
I am all for the pledge drive as i've always felt it is something i've missed out on.
haruomi hosono taking calls would be most excellent.

mainly happened through events & event sponsorships, which is now obviously not possible

my pledge drive thing wasn't totally a joke - they really should be much more intrusive asking for $/£/€/¥
