I think the title of the show speaks for itself. All by myself, I decided to record not one but two 60 minutes specials : The first one is all about piano pieces that are dear to my heart - ranging from Messiaen, to Thelonious Monk via Sakamoto and Mary Lou Williams. The "+ 1"…Lire la suite NTS – AUGUST 2020 W/ PAM : 10 PIANO PIECES + 1 & MUSIC ON 45 – PART. I

NTS – APRIL 2021 W/ PAM & CARLOS
April is the cruelest month. It's also one of my favorite months, days are noticeably getting longer, hotter and sunnier in Paris, and I'm not suffering from hay fever yet. But the poet is right, it's a cruel month. Its spring colours lure us. Our expectations for a good change are great, but, by the…Lire la suite NTS – APRIL 2021 W/ PAM & CARLOS
NTS – MARCH 2021 W/ PAM & NTN
When I work on a mix, I often take cues from films. Most of the time, they influence me in a subtle, almost subconscious way. This time though, it would be extremely hard to hide the influence Alan Parker's Angel Heart had over the mix. I've been obsessed with this film since I saw it…Lire la suite NTS – MARCH 2021 W/ PAM & NTN
NTS – FEBRUARY 2021 W/ PAM & FRANCIS DOSOO
I did not really know Francis Dosoo when I saw them in Paris earlier this year ; we briefly met each other in Scotland in 2017, where I played at a Rhythm Machine - a party Francis and Andy Danet used to throw in Glasgow and Edinburg. In Paris, where Francis recently moved, we talked…Lire la suite NTS – FEBRUARY 2021 W/ PAM & FRANCIS DOSOO
NTS – JANUARY 2021 W/ PAM, BELEC & SAINTE-RITA
The price to pay for a promotional article on OYT was to contribute to our monthly radio show on NTS. Sainte-Rita & Belec did their part admirably by submitting an exhilarating mix of 1990's Europe optimist house pop and quirky downtempo cuts. https://www.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/okonkole-y-trompa-w-pam-belec-and-dj-sainte-rita-27th-january-2021/ I did little to respect the theme as the first hour of…Lire la suite NTS – JANUARY 2021 W/ PAM, BELEC & SAINTE-RITA
NTS – OCTOBER 2020 : JEAN-LUC NEST SPECIAL W/ DJ F16 FALCON
DJ F16 Falcon joined me for a very special show this month. He has been digging into Jean-Luc Nest's archives for months and provided a perfect 60-min long introduction to the work of the Alsatian composer. https://www.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/okonkole-y-trompa-7th-october-2020/ Jean-Luc Nest began his musical explorations with traditional instruments, including his beloved Accordion as well as electric and…Lire la suite NTS – OCTOBER 2020 : JEAN-LUC NEST SPECIAL W/ DJ F16 FALCON
NTS SHOWS – MARS 2020 W/ PAM & HOUTI
The virus finally hits Europe, and we're all in quarantine now. My mind wanders and very predictively meets memories of Alain Resnais and Chris Marker. La Jetée, of course, but not Hiroshima Mon Amour - La Vie est Un Roman instead, a weird film in Resnais's work, not absolutely exempt from flaws but revolving around…Lire la suite NTS SHOWS – MARS 2020 W/ PAM & HOUTI
NTS SHOWS – JANUARY 2020 W/ PAM & CÉLINE GILLAIN: MONEY, MONEY, MONEY_MIX
The longest hiatus in the history of this series is over ! For the first show of 2020, I was joined by "avant-pop diva" Céline Gillain, who provided a guest mix strictly about money. In her own words, she realized that "the more music becomes experimental, the less you will find titles and lyrics about…Lire la suite NTS SHOWS – JANUARY 2020 W/ PAM & CÉLINE GILLAIN: MONEY, MONEY, MONEY_MIX
NTS SHOWS – NOVEMBER 2019 W/ PAM & BEN DROWNED
It's that time of the year again, that time when (mostly North American) people celebrate ghosts, werewolves and the rest of a bestiary popularized by Hollywood productions. From time to time, I love a little fright, especially when it comes from eerie melodies and spooky musical atmospheres. That's why I summoned Creepy Pasta legend Ben…Lire la suite NTS SHOWS – NOVEMBER 2019 W/ PAM & BEN DROWNED
NTS SHOWS – OCTOBER 2019 W/ PAM & DJ F16 FALCON
Not only is DJ F16 a great producer, he is also a DJ. Hence the name, yes. The two of us deliver a two hour-long broad exploration of "Dub", from its Jamaican origins to its most leftfield artefacts. https://www.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/okonkole-y-trompa-9th-october-2019/ TRACKLIST : BBC 4 - Reggae Britannia (Extract) SNARES - Electric Funeral DJ F16 FALCON - Family Grocery Haul TENASTELIN, TNT…Lire la suite NTS SHOWS – OCTOBER 2019 W/ PAM & DJ F16 FALCON
