Nova Club

Nova Club is a broad, talkative Radio Nova music show where discovery happens through conversation rather than neat categories. It has the feel of live radio in motion: jingles, quick checks around the room, half-finished jokes, sudden pivots, and then a surprisingly precise judgment about a song, a city, or an artist’s place in the lineage. The core pleasure is musical curiosity. Recent episodes move through Jeune Morty, Fcukers, Robyn, Grace Ives, underscores, Avalon Emerson, Jim Legxacy, Rosalia, Gorillaz, Mitski, FKA Twigs, Smerz, Ice Spice, Charli XCX, Confidence Man, and Oneohtrix Point Never without treating any of them as isolated playlist items. A track can lead to production talk. A production choice can lead to Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Damon Albarn, or the machinery of pop image-making. The show is especially good when it lets taste become a conversation instead of a verdict. It can be admiring, skeptical, teasing, and blunt, often within the same passage. It also travels well. A Liverpool episode turns the city into a living music map, from the Cavern and Beatles memory to Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Echo and the Bunnymen, Mick Head, football, pubs, and the way local identity keeps feeding songs. A Bastia episode shifts the room toward comics, exhibitions, Una Volta, BD à Bastia, Hélène Usdin, Bonnie, Camille Broutin, and the texture of a festival described through encounters rather than brochure copy. Nova Club’s interviews are folded into the flow, not placed behind glass. Guests become part of the banter, the detours, and the larger act of sorting out why a work matters. The result is messy in a productive way. It is not a clean digest of releases. It is a generous, opinionated salon where music, cities, comics, politics, clubs, radio habits, and weekend stories all keep interrupting one another until a point lands.
