Owww yes. It took a while but so excited to have NAP aka Daniel Rincon, doing a mix for our series. 
Have you ever heard Daniel - the person with the kindest heart - playing tracks? It’s all about fun, wrapped in an impeccable taste that will take you from Cumbia to Dembow, to the universe of the many dubs and the alternative outskirts of indie. 
Check out his label Isla and projects like Ambien Baby, DOSIS, La Fe and Sin Limites.

Knekelhuis # 106 - NAP

A look back at that moment in the 2010s when underground club music, and experimental-leaning artists reached for the R&B palette - an influential period that birthed mainstream stars.

NTS Guide to: 2010s Underground R&B 070524

A round-up of the original (and best?) iteration of emo – early "emotional" hardcore music, an offshoot of 1980s DC hardcore punk, that quickly morphed into a sound of it's own, characterised by a heart-on-your-sleeve earnestness, and a wider set of influences from math rock, post rock and more.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Japan became the birthplace of a distinctive and intense form of psychedelic music, emerging from the underground scene and centred around pioneering labels like PSF Records. This movement was marked by a raw, dissonant, and fuzzed-out sound that combined elements of noise, free jazz, and traditional psychedelic rock. 

This two hour show documents the sounds of several key bands that played a significant role in shaping this unique musical landscape such as Fushitsuha, Les Rallizes De Nudes, Shizuka, Acid Mothers Temple and more.

AMBIENT ETHEREAL SOUNDSCAPES INSPIRED BY GAME OF THRONES, LORD OF THE RINGS AND MANY OTHER WORKS OF FANTASY.

ETHEREAL - THE GARDEN OF REFLECTION

For the third instalment of “Cowboys And The Sounds Of,” an Editorial mix series from longtime contributor @napmusick , we’re treated to the sounds of sad country music and trains passing by. The combination is unexpectedly heart-wrenching, as if the sound of trains bring us back to an era of long goodbyes and far distances. Three years in the making, Rincon’s two hour collection of cosmic country and folk is a testament to the enduring heartbreak and beauty of the genre. 

Daniel Rincon makes music under the moniker @napmusick ,  is one half of Ambein Baby and La Fe, and runs an experimental electronic label @sonidoisla out of Montreal.
