CORTICEPS W/ MINUS KENDAL

Minus Kendal trods the outer reaches foraging for aural morsels, slinging you a monthly smorgasbord of sultry sonix from trenchcoat folk to silicone synthwave.

IN FOCUS: VELVET UNDERGROUND

There's an old Brian Eno quote that is inevitably referenced when talking about the Velvet Underground - something along the lines of "They only sold 30,000 copies of their first album, but everyone who bought the album started a band". It's slightly inaccurate (they sold a lot more copies), but the message is clear: few bands have had such an outsized, potent, and wide reaching effect on the musicians that followed in their footsteps. Their stubborn desire to continually approach songwriting from the left field, and continuous sonic reinvention reverberated for decades, influencing punk, post-punk, art rock, ambient music, even notably influencing real political revolution in Czechoslovakia. Two hours of The Velvets' best, selected and mixed by Claire Rousay.

Winson Delano Stewart

Winson Delano Stewart has been played on NTS in shows including Asher G's Caribbean Memories, featured first on 14 February 2021. Songs played include That's Life, Rocking Sensation and All Of My Life.

Winston "Delano" Stewart was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1947. While still in his teens he recorded several ska tracks with Harris "B.B." Seaton for the legendary Coxsone Dodd at Studio One, as part of the duo Winston & Bibby. In the late '60s Stewart and Seaton recruited a third singer, Maurice Roberts, and formed the Gaylads, one of Jamaica's finest three-part harmony trios. Led by Seaton's excellent songwriting, the Gaylads scored several rocksteady hits with Studio One before switching to Sonia Pottinger's label, where they recorded the gorgeous "Joy in the Morning." Stewart left the group in 1968, but continued to record briefly for Pottinger as a solo artist. Relocating to the United States in 1969, Delano Stewart departed the music business for other endeavors, leaving behind a small but impressive legacy.
