NTS Expansions
About NTS Expansions
Expansions from NTS Radio is a continuous stream of jazz, one of the station's Infinite Mixtapes. The channel moves between spiritual jazz, modal and free jazz, fusion and modern experimental sounds, with a taste for the adventurous side of the music, and it brings together classics, rarities and contemporary artists. The sound is exploratory and warm, with long improvisations and rich textures.
The United Kingdom has one of the most developed radio markets in the world, with the BBC, large commercial groups and a growing number of online-only stations, and British radio is heard by listeners far beyond the country through the internet. NTS began in 2011 in an east London studio and grew into an international station with a reputation for adventurous programming. Its Infinite Mixtapes are continuous channels curated around a mood or genre, free of announcements and advertising. The stream is delivered as MP3 at 256 kbps, a very high bitrate that gives music a full, clean and detailed sound, particularly on good headphones or speakers, though it uses more data than typical streams. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
