my childhood has been so dominated by the radio. i would spend a lot of time in my mom’s car flipping stations. despite the alienation of not having cable for long summers, i see a lot of influence here: from chicano rap to hyperpop music, homages to low rider oldies that have me appreciate underrated acts, a couple popular cultural moments in my border town including a track by my second cousins that got lost in time or the chopped and screwed version of a beloved song that the neighborhood boys made a dance routine plus a popular song that’s deemed “the devil”. it is a love letter to my local radio station and media that i had no business consuming Find the full tracklist and related episodes on NTS: https://www.nts.live/shows/roots-2025/episodes/roots-2025-hot-secs-12th-october-2025
