Based in London but also broadcasting specials from New York, Tokyo and Johannesburg, Worldwide’s roster gives ample space for its hosts’ tastes to breathe. Worldwide FMĪ BBC Radio 6 stalwart, a veteran of the labels Acid Jazz and Talking Loud and the founder of the London-based label Brownswood, Gilles Peterson started his own station in 2016 as an expansion of his genre-breaking DJing style, promoting new artists and lesser-known greats. Highlights have included the late Andrew Weatherall’s residency, available to listen via the archive, as well as Charlie Bones’s reliably uplifting breakfast show Do!! You!!! and regular crate-digging DJ slots from the likes of Anz, Moxie and Éclair Fifi. Eclecticism is the watchword for NTS’s 24-hour schedule, now spanning from London to Los Angeles, Shanghai and beyond.
