Akito, Wallwork & Loom warmed up before their biggest Acid Fantasy event in what basically became a house-party in the studio.
Features the most hilarious event plug I've ever heard from Loom (and also some starsign-based bigging up) 41 minutes in.

Coby constantly keeps me guessing when it comes to what I'm going to be typing into his tracklist. This show features Dean Blunt, some exclusive Curl demos from Coby & Mica Levi & an unexpected segway into hardcore near the end.

Much like Coby's show, Gage's unpredictable late night slot is never anything short of enthralling. Essential listening.

Floating Roofs w/ Madison McFerrin
Tej Adeleye's Floating Roofs show is one of the best ways to start your Saturday. Before her slot at All Points East, Madison McFerrin stopped by for an interview and live performance.

160 BPM power hour from (then) new NTS recruit Fauzia. Footwork, trap & high energy.

Frank Ocean's close collaborator Vegyn & guest Michael Uzowuru got all nostalgic during the first live Plz Make It Ruins show. Features absolute classics by Macy Gray, the New Radicals & Natalie Imbruglia.

Armed with nothing more than his guitar and a handful of samples, Coby proceeded to freestyle for the whole hour in September 2017. Due to having his hands full with his guitar, I ended up triggering and picking some of the background sounds whilst Coby manipulated his vocals and guitar directly through the DJM. A very special show to have been a part of.
