Kaleidoscope
Calling all 16-25 year old listeners
Send us a mixtape
Kaleidoscope is a new radio series from NTS and Polaroid Music, rotating through genres and eras of music, on film & on air.
The first part of the series kicked off with documentary radio shows that explored Polaroid’s rich history - past and present - in the world of music. But now it’s over to you, the next generation of music selectors and DJs.
We’re asking all of our 16-25 year old listeners to submit a 60 minute mixtape inspired by one of the five Polaroid Radio stations below: Heatwave, Polychrome, Royal Pine, Iris and Itchy Teeth. Our favourite submission mix from each category will be selected for broadcast on NTS, with the winning selectors also receiving an NTS merch package, the choice of a Polaroid P2 or P3 Speaker, a Now+ Generation 2 Polaroid camera and the opportunity to host their own guest show on Polaroid Radio.
Check out the themes below to get inspired for your own mixes - submissions close 8th August and will be broadcast on NTS throughout September.
