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
NTS SHOWS – AUGUST 2019 W/ PAM & ALEXANDRA BENALLA
This Summer, I've been trying to find relief from the terrible heatwave in movie theatres. Not that I need an excuse to spend hours in theatre, but the weather probably steered me towards cold and rainy films. The night was particularly hot when I saw a wonderfully remastered Blade Runner. What a shock it was.…Lire la suite NTS SHOWS – AUGUST 2019 W/ PAM & ALEXANDRA BENALLA
NTS SHOWS – JULY 2019 W/ PAM
In July, I've been experimenting with taking over the show for two full hours, something that did not happen for almost a year. It took a very cinematic turn as I found myself wandering through the ruins of our civilization as depicted by Hollywood titans (James Cameron's Terminator 2 and Joseph Von Sternberg's final film,…Lire la suite NTS SHOWS – JULY 2019 W/ PAM
NTS SHOWS – JUNE 2019 W/ PAM & CARLOS
More often than not, I'm pleased with our show on NTS, and this month's show is no exception to the rule. I invited the lonesome French digger Carlos and he blessed us with a mind-blowing selection of X-ian soft rock ("I've got Jesus Fever, All I want to do is praise his name"), 1990's misty…Lire la suite NTS SHOWS – JUNE 2019 W/ PAM & CARLOS
NTS SHOWS – MAY 2019 W/ GEM & I & PAM
This month's episode is a two hour-long jigsaw puzzle in the Gemini dimension, as presented by Brussels-based DJ Gem & I and PAM. Inspired by, recorded by, and dedicated to Geminis (you might enjoy it as well if you're Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries or even Taurus). https://www.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/okonkole-y-trompa-22nd-may-2019/ TRACKLIST…Lire la suite NTS SHOWS – MAY 2019 W/ GEM & I & PAM
