NTS – AUGUST 2020 W/ PAM : 10 PIANO PIECES + 1 & MUSIC ON 45 – PART. I

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 – 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 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
