Agatewards by gribblesHere at NHAM HQ we’ve been very fortunate to have been given advance listening of the upcoming new release by gribbles (ahead of our [exclusive first play of the album on TIBtv at 8pm on Friday 4th September](https://nham.co.uk/2026/08/nham-release-party-agatewards-by-gribbles/ )).
To be released on boutique, Lincoln-based label Yellowbelly Records, it’s called ***Agatewards***, an old northern word used in Lincolnshire meaning ‘to walk a while with someone on the way home’.
An appropriate title gribbles suggests, for the album walks a little way with Alfred Tennyson and characters from his Lincolnshire dialect poems, before spending a bit of time together travelling through music that was inspired by them.
It was while crate digging at a record fair in Chesterfield that gribbles discovered Mr Edward Campion and Mrs Edith Burgess (both leading authorities on the Lincolnshire dialect in their time) reciting some of Tennyson’s Lincolnshire dialect poetry in the late 1960s and early 1970s. gribbles, himself a Lincoln lad and keen electronic musician, couldn’t resist the opportunity to get his sampler out…
The album begins with some familiar “na’then”s and “ow yer meggerin’?”s, given a Yellowbelly remix.
From then on we’re fully in gribbles’ fair hands. Tennyson’s dialect, rebooted some 50-60 years ago, are boosted once more, in to the modern day via the compelling beats, beeps, sweeps, textures and transitions that are so wonderfully in character with the evocative vibe we’ve come to know from this Lincs layer-maker.
A few of the tracks may be familiar already to gribbles afficionados or those who watch [TIBtv](https://tv.theindiebeat.fm/ ) (Three Knocks), but with twelve tracks in total there’s a lot of fresh material on here.
It’s a joyful piece. A celebration that should itself be celebrated. A thoroughly enjoyed perambulation with Campion, Burgess, Tennyson and Thorpe through Lincolnshire past and present. It’s fair to say this album is a spot more than fair to middlin’!
The very first play of this album anywhere in the public sphere will be at the NHAM Release Party on @npub15fs…l243 at 8pm on Friday 4th September so do come and [join us in the live chat](https://nham.co.uk/attend ) to hear the album in full among friends.
In the meantime check out gribbles’ [extensive back catalogue](https://mirlo.space/gribbles/releases ) on @npub1ynz…en3h and follow him in The Fediverse: @npub1m9m…u92k.

What a First Third Week!Three nights of live streamed music events in the Fedi via @npub1fqx…5mj3 went down a storm!###
PuluStarting with @npub1xsn…x547‘s [3rd W3dn35day](https://nham.co.uk/2026/03/3rd-w3dn35day-online-gigs/ ) gig, bathed in purple light and surrounded by a multitude of screens and colourful blinking gizmos, pulu (@npub1gga…8u8y) began the set by saying that pretty much [everything that could go wrong had gone wrong](https://anticapitalist.party/@ahihi/116255015158492709 ), and that they were forced to go with a last-minute plan B and hoped for the best. Pulu then proceeded to conjure up some lovely twinkling chords out of the legendary Music Mouse program on an old Mac running System 7, before switching to their [live-coding environment](https://anticapitalist.party/@ahihi/116255005890476307 ). The public was then treated to an astonishing mix of delicate soundscapes, powerful intricate beats and basslines, mesmerizing synthetic and organic textures mixed in with sampled speech and field recordings. That would have been wondrous enough, except that Pulu knows how to marshal all that technology and all those sounds in service of an exceptional musical sensibility, which constantly walks a fine line between harmonic tension and glorious relief, or to put it differently, Pulu totally killed it and blew the socks off everyone in the TIBtv chat.###
ControlControl (@npub1ldq…50m4) absolutely ripped it up in the first [NHAM in Concert](https://nham.co.uk/2026/02/introducing-nham-in-concert/ ) event on Thursday, with an oontzing, stomping, near-two-hour set. He played the whole of the album [MANIPULATE](https://music.control.org/manipulate/ ) on the 25th anniversary of its release, followed by some bangers from his latest [covers album](https://music.control.org/replicate1/ ). The chat was rocking and we had over 50 people come through the doors! The love shown was there to see both in the chat and by way of donations – his ko-fi page surpassing the $333 goal. One particularly touching message came in after the show from someone control hadn’t met before. They were merely watching TIBtv when the show kicked in. They loved the show, its “global tiny desk vibes”, donated, shared the album, learnt that CHVRCHES existed from the finale cover, and is now loving them.

MeljoannRounding the week of live streams off, the [NHAM Listening Party](https://nham.co.uk/2026/03/nham-listening-parties-more/ ) proved a big success too. We were slightly apprehensive as to how this might be received as it was a mostly audio affair on a visual platform (@npub15fs…l243), but it went down a treat. Again a super-appreciative audience were in and showed their love to @npub1nuu…gjr3 as they listened to her album [Status](https://faircamp.meljoann.com/status/ ) from start to finish. Meljoann was there herself to feel the love. Here are a few gem quotes from her in the live chat:
> “Haven’t listened to this in a while. You know when you listen back and think… how tf did I do that”
> *-During > [> Rainbow Language (is for Losers)](https://nham.co.uk/2025/04/rainbow-language-is-for-losers/ )*
> “Kinda making me want to make another album”
> “my sis played this song to my little neice and nephew, they were like SHE SAID VAGINA”
> *– > *During**> > *[> Translate Me](https://nham.co.uk/2025/04/translate-me/ )*

New TIBtv Schedule and New Fresh Video Show**By @npub166d…xj3f**
We’ve been on air for almost a month! That seems impossible. During that time we’ve continued to get new submissions which is great!
For launch month we centered our programming around daytime hours in each part of the world due to holidays, and we had to keep our segments short until we had enough material to put on a good show!
Well now we can make some important changes that we hope you’ll love:##
Ready For Prime Time– The schedule still repeats 3 times a day but we are now targeting prime time in each part of the world starting at midnight UTC (prime time in the Americas), 6am UTC (prime time down under) and 6pm UTC (prime time in Europe). Thanks to schedule repeats, you can generally catch shows during the day as well.
– There will still be more than 5 hours of eclectic “everything plays” tucked in throughout the day. This firehose of genre-fluid videos will keep you guessing “what next?”
– Electronic, Pop, and Rock shows are now a full hour!
– NHAM Live and Talk shows will play twice each day at alternating times.
– Finally, we are planning a Friday night Electronic takeover!##
New Fresh Video Show– We’ve added a 30 minute **Fresh** show to showcase new material recently added to the channel, and those tracks will go into heavier random rotation.
This means artists who submit new material can tune in during the Fresh show to have a better chance of catching their videos on-air. But be aware: we are currently getting more videos than can fit in one show so you might have to watch a couple of times! This is good news.
– **On Fridays, we will extend the Fresh segment to 1 hour** to highlight as many new videos from that week as possible, **and open the chat for the 6pm UTC Fresh hour** so we can all watch the new videos together and chat about them with the artists! The Friday Fresh hour will then segue into the extended 2 1/2 hour Electronic show.
We hope you will enjoy these changes and come chat with us during the Fresh hour on Fridays at 6pm UTC!<thead><tr><th>UTC</th><th><strong>Saturday–Thursday</strong></th><th><strong>Friday</strong></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><em>Prime time in the Americas</em></td></tr><tr><td>0:00</td><td>Pop</td><td><strong>Fresh</strong></td></tr><tr><td>1:00</td><td>Rock</td><td>Electronic</td></tr><tr><td>2:00</td><td>Electronic</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>3:00</td><td><strong>Fresh (30m)</strong></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>3:30</td><td>Animation Array (30m)</td><td>Animation Array (30m)</td></tr><tr><td>4:00</td><td>NHAM TV</td><td>NHAM TV</td></tr><tr><td>5:00</td><td>Ambient</td><td>Ambient</td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"><em>Prime time down under</em></td></tr><tr><td>6:00</td><td>Pop</td><td><strong>Fresh</strong></td></tr><tr><td>7:00</td><td>Rock</td><td>Electronic</td></tr><tr><td>8:00</td><td>Electronic</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>9:00</td><td><strong>Fresh (30m)</strong></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>9:30</td><td>Animation Array (30m)</td><td>Animation Array (30m)</td></tr><tr><td>10:00</td><td>NHAM TV</td><td>NHAM TV</td></tr><tr><td>11:00</td><td>Ambient</td><td>Ambient</td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"><em>NHAM Live/Talk + Eclectic Mix</em></td></tr><tr><td>12:00</td><td>NHAM Live/Talk</td><td>NHAM Live/Talk</td></tr><tr><td>13:00</td><td>Eclectic Mix</td><td>Eclectic Mix</td></tr><tr><td>14:00</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>15:00</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>16:00</td><td>NHAM Live/Talk</td><td>NHAM Live/Talk</td></tr><tr><td>17:00</td><td>Eclectic Mix</td><td>Eclectic Mix</td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"><em>Prime time in Europe</em></td></tr><tr><td>18:00</td><td>Pop</td><td><strong>Fresh + Chat</strong></td></tr><tr><td>19:00</td><td>Rock</td><td>Electronic</td></tr><tr><td>20:00</td><td>Electronic</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>21:00</td><td><strong>Fresh (30m)</strong></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>21:30</td><td>Animation Array (30m)</td><td>Animation Array (30m)</td></tr><tr><td>22:00</td><td>NHAM TV</td><td>NHAM TV</td></tr><tr><td>23:00</td><td>Ambient</td><td>Ambient</td></tr></tbody>

The incredible launch video for TIBtv, made by the wonderful @npub1tk7…6cq3 is now [available to watch on demand](https://tv.gravitons.org/w/vwR6dLps9wR5DEXXDNtQ9R ).
The launch day for our very own [24/7 Fedi MTV station](https://nham.co.uk/2025/12/ways-to-watch-the-indie-beat-television/ ) yesterday was magical and surpassed all our expectations in terms of support and engagement. Thanks to all who came by to enjoy the launch, and huge congratulations to the mastermind @npub166d…xj3f, the host @npub1r7c…2mc5 and the rest of the team for putting it together. 🙌

Ways To Watch The Indie Beat Television**By @npub166d…xj3f**
TIBtv uses [Owncast](https://owncast.online/ ) to broadcast a 24/7 stream of music videos from consenting artists of the fediverse.
One of the best ways to watch is on the [official TIBtv site](https://tv.theindiebeat.fm/ ) because you can watch in almost any browser on almost any platform, whether desktop or mobile, and when the chat is open, you’ll be able to chat with people about what you are watching. We plan to open the chat regularly so artists and fans can meet up and…chat. No barriers here!
The stream will also be available to watch right here in the VIDEO box on the [NHAM home page](https://nham.co.uk/ )!
But you may want to watch in other ways. Specifically, you may want to watch these videos in big beautiful HD on your living room TV, and there are many ways to do that!
First, if you have a Roku device such as a Roku set top box, Roku TV, or streaming stick, then The Indie Beat has a Roku app for you which supports all of the The Indie Beat Radio channels and the TV and Live video channels as well. To install the Roku app, you can search “The Indie Beat” on your device or [use this link](https://channelstore.roku.com/details/1935236acb98278a728dd17721fc3bbf/the-indie-beat-radio ) to install it from your Roku account online.
Also on Roku, there is an [official Owncast app](https://channelstore.roku.com/details/2179326b6b85869a1a3a18d48ca76de6/owncasts ) that features not only The Indie Beat, but all other Owncast channels that have opted in to discovery via the Owncast directory.
The Owncast app supports favorites and even lets you input unlisted streams manually. And by the way, you can [browse the Owncast directory](https://owncast.directory/ ), where you’ll often find LABR (@npub13j5…my59), Fireside Fedi (@npub16k9…2nry), RetroStrange TV (@npub1l9l…fwar), Gravitons (@npub1s8c…u3p5) and other Fedi adjacent artists and streamers streaming!
The Owncast site has a page detailing [other ways to watch Owncast on your TV](https://owncast.online/docs/watching-on-tvs/ ), that includes info on Chromecast, Apple TV, Airplay, VLC for FireTV, Google TV, Kodi, LG and Samsung TVs.
The HLS stream playlist for use with VLC, Kodi, Jellyfin, and other media center software is https://tv.theindiebeat.fm/hls/stream.m3u8 (and the HLS for TIBlive is https://live.theindiebeat.fm/hls/stream.m3u8).
If you are an artist or fan who’d like to embed TIBtv on your blog or site (see [this example on Meljoann’s blog](https://meljoann.com/posts/fedi-mtv/ )), you can help us spread the music (videos) by [embedding the TIBtv video and/or chat](https://owncast.online/docs/embed/ ):

[[Read in full on NHAM]](https://nham.co.uk/2025/12/feature-your-nham-releases-on-tibtv-promo-videos/ )## Feature Your NHAM Releases on TIBtv Promo Videos!
**By @npub166d…xj3f**
The Indie Beat Television (TIBtv) is planning to do weekly short promo videos featuring [NHAM new releases](https://nham.co.uk/category/releases )!
If your release was featured in the NHAM [Releases](https://nham.co.uk/category/releases ) section and you would like us to include it in our regular promo video, then **use the form below to upload an MP3 file** of your track.
The promo video:
– plays the first 10s of your music
– displays the embedded cover art
– displays the artist name, track title, and album name
**So be sure to properly tag your files before uploading them!**
You can choose which snippet viewers will hear by editing your MP3 to include your desired section in the first 10 seconds.
An onscreen QR code will link to the [NHAM Releases page](https://nham.co.uk/category/releases/ ).
Here is a video sample showing how it might look:
Use this form whenever you need to promote a new release:
And of course, if you’d like to submit full-fledged videos of your own, [you can still do so](https://nham.co.uk/2025/09/how-indie-video-killed-the-spotify-star/ ) before the launch scheduled for December 28th (and afterwards too)!

NHAM Update Opus 11 (Too Hot to Handle Edition)**By @npub1ke5…4add**
What a month!##
New Site!The big news of course, is that [the new version of our website is out](https://nham.co.uk )! You can read all about it in excruciating detail [in this post](https://nham.co.uk/2025/11/introducing-nham-1-0/ ).
Thanks to all of you who have given us feedback. I’m glad to say the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive.##
New Fediverse Handle!We also changed our handle from @mixtape to [@nham](https://nham.co.uk )! However, despite testing the switchover on a preproduction site, porting our followers to the new handle failed miserably. The vagaries and mysteries of federation…
So we’ll probably be reminding you to **follow [@nham](https://nham.co.uk )** for quite a while longer.
The @mixtape account will no longer be receiving any updates.##
In other NEWS###
The Indie Beat TelevisionWe also published a [progress report on The Indie Beat Television](https://nham.co.uk/2025/11/the-indie-beat-television-progress-report/ ) (TIBtv) by @npub166d…xj3f, who announced a prospective launch date! So mark your calendars for December 28!!!
**There’s still time to submit videos**—music videos, live gig recordings, animations and station and show IDs—to be part of history in the making. You’ll find all the info in [the submission form](https://nham.co.uk/2025/09/how-indie-video-killed-the-spotify-star/#form ).
Aside: Keen observers might notice [em-dashes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash#Em_dash ) in the previous paragraph. Contrary to popular belief, [humans actually use them](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash#Usage_in_AI-generated_text )! Rest assured that we don’t use Generative AI at NHAM. In fact, we won’t accept or publish anything “made” with GenAI, and we will summarily remove anything that might slip through. You should probably stop reading and following us if you disagree with this policy.###
2025 Gravitons Festival!Gravitons, a “community space for experimental electronic music”, is organizing an online festival, with livestreams starting November 26! Check out the [EVENTS section](https://nham.co.uk/attend/ ) for the full list of upcoming concerts.
You can even go to their site and subscribe to the calendar with your favorite calendar app.##
So much great music!Because of all this (and life in general), this Opus Post is ridiculously late.
But that means that there’s even more music to discover since the [last update](https://nham.co.uk/2025/10/nham-update-opus-10-fedi-music-television-edition/ )!
Starting with Sam’s ([@ethicalrevolution](https://climatejustice.social/@ethicalrevolution )) latest [NHAM Mixtape Opus 17, Nana Hakka Allah Mama](https://nham.co.uk/2025/11/nana-hakka-allah-mama-nham-mixtape-17/ )!

Final Plea(s)When you feel compelled to write a toot to recommend some cool fedi music you just heard, old or new, why not flesh it out a bit and send it to us? We’ll gladly publish your prose in our [REVIEWS](https://nham.co.uk/reviews/ ) section! We’ll also gladly publish long-form reviews too of course. Please, don’t be shy, and help others discover the fedi music you’re passionate about!
We revamped the site to make it more inviting and interactive, and we hope you will **spread the word far and wide** that: 1/ *Fedi music is the best*, no really, it is, and 2/ NHAM is one of the best places to discover fedi music and artists and other great initiatives that share the same ethos!
To that end, remember to bookmark and to share our handy [Finding Artists on the Fediverse Cheat Sheet](https://nham.co.uk/2025/06/how-do-i-connect-with-artists-on-the-fediverse-cheat-sheet/ ) with whomever might need it!

The Indie Beat Television Progress Report**By @npub166d…xj3f**
It has been less than a month [since we announced open submissions for The Indie Beat Television](https://nham.co.uk/2025/09/how-indie-video-killed-the-spotify-star/ ) everywhere we could think to across the fediverse:
– [Here on NHAM](https://nham.co.uk/2025/09/how-indie-video-killed-the-spotify-star/ )
– On [Animation Array](https://robertafidora.com/animation-array )
– On the [Bonkboard](https://bonkwave.org/board/index.php?topic=236 )
If you somehow haven’t heard of TIBtv, then visit any of those links to find out more.
Since then, we’ve been hard at work laying down the infrastructure, coding, transcoding, running tests, and making plans.
In this short time, I am happy to report that we have accumulated:
– 13.5 hours of music videos
– ~1/2 hour of original animation
– 14.5 hours of live stream recordings
– 15.5 hours of artist interviews
– ~1/2 hour of cross promos, station idents and jingles, eye candy, and more station materials…
– …for a total of 31GB of 720p @ 3000kbps transcoded video material and my tired old CPU is on fire!
This thing is going to happen. For real!
I am lucky to preview most of this material and wow, you are going to be amazed. The level of talent just on the fediverse is staggering. I already knew the musical talents were next level because I hear it every day on [https://theindiebeat.fm](https://theindiebeat.fm/ ), but some of these videos take my breath away!
And here is the real bit of news! We have a launch date!
**Sunday, December 28th, 2025!**
That’s right, we are planning to launch in the midst of that *other music video channel’s* death throes! Indie music videos will be there to comfort you, and there won’t be a moment’s gap in your music video stream!
But seriously, why the 28th? Well, we still need time to iron out the kinks and let more material flow in, and we have a special launch surprise from the incomparable @npub1tk7…6cq3 that needs finishing, but mainly because that is smack in the center of the end-of-year holiday boredom period and we need something to look forward to and we hope you do too!
We still want and need:
– Original animations
– Music videos
– Station identifications and short form eye candy
There is still time and space for [you to submit your indie art](https://nham.co.uk/2025/09/how-indie-video-killed-the-spotify-star/#form ). There is even [time to collaborate](https://mastodon.social/@limebar/115493596864325969 )!
So keep those videos coming in to make history on December 28th!
