On my show this month:
Another packed three hour show! There's an exclusive Dandelion Radio session from Brooklyn's World Atlas, and this month's featured album is "No More Of Your Fairy Stories - an indiepop loveletter to The Ramones" featuring all your current favourite bands doing cover versions of Ramones songs.
This month has seen a deluge of brilliant new LPs - I play tracks from those by Frankie Rose And The Outs; Girls Names; Shrag; Mount Kimbie; The Specific Heats; Skream; Betty And The Werewolves; Secret Charisma; (((Oh Dear; Milky Wimpshake and Chasms offshoot Lonesome Mercury.
Dean & Britta (ex-Galaxie 500 & Luna) cover a Bob Dylan song best known for Nico's version, and The Sidewalk Doctors give The Rolling Stones a reggae spin. There's a fantastic new track by Allo Darlin', and a track from the Aussie band who gave it its title.
There's new electronica from Nina Kraviz & Sascha Funke remixed by Stimming; Avus; Mount Kimbie; and James Holden makes a track from Mogwai's last LP very much his own. This month's Peel's Big 45 is another of those red and white ones, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record features Roy Hamilton from 1966.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: The world atlas is not named after the Greek god Atlas, but after King Atlas of Mauretania, allegedly the first man to represent the Earth and heavens as a globe.

Biography:
I am proud to be a DJ for dandelionradio.com - as far as we know we are the only radio station inspired by John Peel - I was a Peel listener from 1976 to 2004 and it was his open minded attutude to different genres that has shaped my own tastes. It is a great buzz to be carrying on the great man's work and bringing previously unknown artists to the attention of our listeners.

As well as my radio DJing I have been known to drag my crates around the UK - I currently hold DJ residencies at monthly indiepop nights Sunny Inside Presents in Stoke-on-Trent and Big Pink Cake in Bristol, as well as co-promoting and DJing at Bristol's monthly vinyl-only Northern Soul night, Getting Together. I have also appeared as guest DJ at some of London's finest indie nights: Twee As Fuck; How Does It Feel To Be Loved; Lost Music Presents; and Scared To Dance.

I run eclectic CDr label Local Underground, and am promoter and resident DJ for related gigs & events as Local Underground Presents. I also play out a progressive house set as B_Man - you can download some old mixes here. In the Bristol, UK area I have DJd for Manna parties as well as Empathy, and Voodoo nights. My ambient / chillout / dub reggae / punk / soundtracks / psychedelia sets are also much in demand in certain (crop) circles. Over the years I have also been known to play keyboards / drums in various ensembles. I record most of the bands' sessions for my show in my recording studio, StAR Studios, which, like me, has a busy schedule!

You can find me on MySpace here, and on Facebook here!
