NTS & BOTTEGA VENETA ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF BOTTEGA RADIO.

NTS is joining forces with luxury fashion house Bottega Veneta for a new cultural partnership and monthly radio series, celebrating the craft behind music by collaborating with emerging and established musicians.

Kicking off in April and continuing every month throughout 2022, NTS x Bottega Veneta will be opening up new conversations between NTS residents and guest stars through a series of collaboratively produced musical soundscapes, airing under the new title of Bottega Radio. The first episode features autotune enthusiast Tim Zha a.k.a Organ Tapes working together with L.A’s Jazmin, an expert in Latin music and resident host for NTS show Como La Flor.

The series was launched on 07 April with a party at Stone Nest in London’s West End, featuring DJ sets and live performances from PLZ Make It Ruins boss and Frank Ocean collaborator Vegyn, experimental hip-hop auteur Slauson Malone, avant-R’n’B singer Liv.e and the ever-elusive Dean Blunt.

NTS is a global music platform and radio station, broadcasting from over sixty cities every month. It started as a DIY passion project in Hackney in 2011, with the aim of creating an alternative to stagnant mainstream radio. Since then, NTS has expanded with permanent studios in Los Angeles, Manchester, and Shanghai. The platform has over 600 resident hosts, composed of a mix of musicians, DJs, artists, and everything in between.

Consistently championing the underground scene and a leading voice in alternative culture, over half the music played on NTS isn't available on Spotify or Apple Music. With a growing global audience of 2.5 million monthly listeners, NTS is broadcasting the best in underground music on a mass scale - completely free of charge and without on-air advertising.
