Ambient jazz and neoclassical piano, for working.
The third of the Nemiers channels, on air since 20 June 2026, and the only one with no distortion anywhere on it. Aigars Sukurs built the first in 2018 for a Riga bar and has kept adding to the set ever since; GFT is where the alternative rock and the metal stop entirely. The name compresses its own joke — today is a gift, which is why it is called the present — and the brief here is music to work to rather than music to argue about, which is fresh ground for a station built on riffs.
The billing says instrumental, lo-fi and classical, which badly undersells what actually plays. One hour ran from a classic piano trio's cool jazz through the restless drumming of the new Chicago and London jazz scenes to nu jazz, with neoclassical piano, ambient field recordings, a lo-fi beat and some quiet acoustic folk threaded in between the jazz.
The riff station, off duty.
