Dutch music label Rubber unarchived a mixtape by Dutch cult figure Ton Lebbink from the mid 90’s. Ton has been mostly known for his work in the eighties, where he paired absurdist and witty Dutch wordplay with stripped down wave-instrumentals. This mixtape introduces you to his far lesser known nineties era, where he went from being a bouncer to becoming a fitness instructor, and replaced his voice with a Roland W-30 sampler.

Specifically recorded for aerobic classes, we take off with a production of Lebbink himself that then blends into his self-bootlegged club-cuts from the radio. This adventurous mixtape seems the right prelude to the upcoming release ‘Wat Doe je Met Me?' on Rubber – a 12’’ EP containing three Ton Lebbink dance productions that never saw daylight.

Few other labels can lay claim to such a foundational role in the origin myth of house music as Chicago's Trax Records. Home to, and often introducing us to, artists like Frankie Knuckles, Joe Smooth, Jamie Principle, Armando, Phuture, Marshall Jefferson, Ron Hardy, Larry Heard and many more. Trax laid the sonic foundation of jacking rhythm tracks with a distinct disco feel. The formula remains much the same to this day.

NTS selects two hours of Trax classics and deep cuts.

Co. Clare is considered by most to be the home of Traditional Irish music. A place where the landscape speaks through the people, and tunes appear out of a mist in the air. This mix is a homage to time and place, a love letter to rural traditions and the humours of musicians that Clare has produced.

The legendary jam band Phish is subject to many aquatic puns and allegories, but none ring as true as the aqueous and intangible nature of “deep sea Phish.” This mix - consisting entirely of improvised live jams -  has ambience, hidden worlds, and surprising whirls out of the blue.
