There’s a lot to celebrate on April 20, 2013, as NTS turns 2. And my hasn’t she grown. Femi, Fergus and the whole family have worked tirelessly to provide a vision of truly independent radio. Thoughtful, eclectic and ready to kick your arse, the station now packs more DJ than a years worth of winter fuel credits.
Come celebrate with the family at 7-9 Crucifix Lane, London Bridge, where Dobie, Moxie, Martelo, Charlie Bones and more will no doubt emphasise my previous point. Early bird tickets are now £13.50, so you know what to do. It’s gonna be a cracker.

“The first step – especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money – the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.” Chuck Palahniuk
This month’s special guests are Susan Supercharged former model turned artist / filmmaker and recognised as the last ever Warhol Superstar and Chantal Miller from ChantiMedia, who recently produced her first documentary feature: ‘What the Times Cover Girl Did Next’.
We’ll be discussing life in front and behind the lens, defining ‘culture’, and of course, what Andy Warhol was really like.

With tracks chosen by Dazed’s Rod Stanley, Tim Noakes and Terence Teh, the guys are keeping good company with the likes of Sbtrkt, Burial, Linton Kwesi Johnson and The Clash. Press play people.

Mixtapes; I love them. Let me re-phrase that; I love good mixtapes.
The Mixtape Club is a website dedicated to “the art of the mixtape”. Each contributor is asked for his or her favourite album and album artwork. Each month features ten people, with ten tracks and ten album covers.
The site is stocked with great music and design. Needless to say I’ve now become a regular visitor.

If you follow our rag-tag twenty%extra fleet, you’ll know that we’ve recently relaunched LBB. To commemorate that launch, we’re running The Art of Winning Poster campaign with Boxpark Shoreditch. Want to know more? Well keep on reading.
POSTER DESIGN COMPETITION | THE BRIEF
The art of winning isn’t a board game or a game show. It’s not reality TV. It’s something you have to make a reality.
This summer at the London 2012 Summer Olympics, athletes from around the globe will be competing for medals, but for the rest of us, medals are not the reward. The reward is knowing we’ve got the best out of ourselves through years of hard work, dedication and more hard work. Winning feels good but it doesn’t come easy.
From personal happiness to leaving a genuine personal legacy; life’s potential list of achievements are too many to surmise.
Taking inspiration from The Olympics coming to LDN, LBB and Boxpark Shoreditch will be featuring 14 of the best poster designs that showcase what the ‘art of winning’ looks like.
And that is where you come in. We’re looking for 14 creative superstars to show us exactly what ‘winning’ means to you.
