On my show this month:
Andy's 3-hour February show focuses almost entirely on new bands and releases, including selections from His Electro Blue Voice, Mint Julep, Damn Vandals, The Big Pink, Kuedo, ?Redo From Start, Stylus Rex, Childish Gambino, Spidersleg, Yeti Lane and a cracking new live version of a very old track by New Order. There's two exclusive session guests, with the second appearance on my show from The Horn The Hunt, and Cygnus X-1 in session for a third time with some epic progressive trance. This month's classic session track comes from Epic45's October 2007 guest spot, there's a Funky Five Minutes from Scott plus a competition to win new Sonic Cathedral records artist Fairewell's debut album 'Poor, Poor Grendel'.
Biography: "Brilliant... reminded me what radio should be about" (Cygnus X-1) "Grotesquely self indulgent, but why not?" (John Peel, 15/7/2004)
From Portsmouth in southern England (now living in Hamble, near Southampton), I was the voice of BBC Radio 1's John Peel show, providing the spoken word 'offensive content' announcements, which can be heard here. I also recorded announcements and title music for Radio 1's Rob Da Bank One Music show, which can be downloaded and streamed here. I was interviewed by Radio 1 in October 2005 for a documentary about the life and legacy of John Peel. Listen to it online here.
I was one of the founding members of Dandelion Radio and have been presenting a monthly show since its inception in 2006. This follows my previous experience presenting a weekly show for Portsmouth Hospital Radio back in the late 90s. I've also appeared on Rob Da Bank's Bestival FM and Portsmouth's Express FM. I occasionally spin tunes out and about, with highlights so far including DJing at Danish band Alex Canasta's album launch party in Copenhagen, and supporting Autons, Forest Giants and King Of Spain at the Shoreditch Cargo, London. I also have a wide-ranging background of music production, performing, remixing and engineering - some of which can be heard here.
I welcome demos, so send them to: Andrew Morrison, c/o Dandelion Radio, PO Box 54918, London W3 6ZS, United Kingdom. Alternatively, send me music via SoundCloud and MySpace, or email web links to
