10 Internet Radio Stations You Should Be Listening To Right Now

Based in Dalston, London, this independent radio station has developed a reputation for being the best radio station in the world, and with good reason. Established in April 2011, NTS Radio's founders Femi Edmund Adeyemi and Clair Urbahn wanted to move away from the impersonal nature of bigger radio stations by generating a formula that is somewhere between the musical diversity of Rinse FM, the talk-show quirkiness and diversity of Resonance FM, and the experimentation of Berlin Community Radio.

Described as a "multi-niche" station by DummyMag, NTS is funded by fans and by the contributions of its show-runners. Anyone with a good idea is allowed to take a slot on the show, whether it's a one-off or a long-running serial. Contents range from lengthy two hour club mixes, to unusual lectures and interviews, to new age-y ambient soundscapes, with everything in between covered.

NTS isn't as much of a secret as it was a couple of years ago, but in sticking to its initial blueprint it has remained the most interesting, strange and enjoyable radio station internationally. Every one of its many, many shows are podcasted and placed on MixCloud. They are all utterly fascinating. Dip in at any time and prepare to be enchanted.
