Clandestine record label, The Trilogy Tapes, tear up the NTS studios once a month, ripping through the grittiest and muddiest tracks. No words on this one, just tunes.

Rupert Hine

Rupert Hine has been played on NTS shows including Perfect Sound Forever, with Concord(e) Pastich(e) first played on 3 September 2018.

Rupert Hine (born Rupert Neville Hine in Wimbledon on 21 September 1947; died 5 June 2020) was an English musician and prolific producer in the synth pop era, helming albums such as Tina Turner's "Private Dancer", Howard Jones's "Human's Lib", SAGA's "World Apart", and The Fixx's "Reach the Beach". He was founder of the band Quantum Jump, and also recorded under his own name and the name Thinkman which he conceived as a virtual band. Many fans consider his tryptichon "Immunity", "Waving Not Drowning", and "Wildest Wish To Fly" to be his masterwork.

While being an extremely successful producer for the international Music Industry in the 1980s, today his genius as a solo artist is mainly remembered by music enthusiasts and electronic music insiders. The German electronic artist Bob Humid claims to be influenced a lot by Hine's highly developed production skills where audio-edits were to a large extent meaningful and precise. Rupert Hine was a enthusiastic user of the Fairlight CMI, the world's first Sampling Synthesizer.
