Tash LC selects 5 tracks to send into space on a cassette to teach aliens about life on earth.

@Tash-LC is a London-based DJ, radio host and presenter who has a deep love for global club music, sharing this with audiences on NTS Radio and live. She is also the founder and label head of @ClubYeke, a clubnight and label that explores sounds from the African diaspora, and South and Latin American music, via the UK and beyond. With some of the best chat on NTS, it was a complete pleasure to speak and hear some of her most formative tracks. I can't wait for you to hear it, and the aliens are in for something special.

We get into dreams of becoming a ballet dancer, learning life lessons from Usher, how to keep the love for running a label, why jump-up drum and bass still deserves kudos, and so much more.

Tash’s selections:

Usher - Confessions Pt. II

Fish Go Deep and Tracey K - The Cure and The Cause

Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma

DJ Hazard and Distorted Minds - Mr. Happy

The Busy Twist - Friday Night

Robert Owens selects 5 tracks to send into space on a cassette to teach aliens about life on earth.

Robert Owens is a house music DJ and singer working just as hard now as the start of his career.

As a self-described 'club kid', his name is synonymous with the birth and formation of the early 'golden era' underground Chicago house music scene. Forming Fingers Inc. with Ron Wilson and Larry Heard in the mid-1980s, the group played a part in defining the genre.

We got into finding solace in gospel choirs despite a difficult relationship with religion, living in London and seeing Princess Diana, looking to find The One on the dancefloor, falling out and making up with Frankie Knuckles and David Morales, and why kindness is key.

Robert's selections:

I'll Be Your Friend - Robert Owens

Joe Smooth - Promised Land

Risqué III (K’Alexi Shelby) - Essence Of A Dream

The One Unlimited Touch - Searching To Find The One

The Chambers Brothers - Stealin' Watermelons
