On my show this month:
A packed three-hour show featuring newly recorded sessions from Gregory Webster (The Razorcuts; Sportique); and The Drain On The Balcony. There's a featured LP from Standard Fare, and new tracks from Mono Taxi; The Electric Pop Group; Kev Hayley; The Wendy Darlings; Air Waves; Midlake; Help Stamp Out Loneliness; The Fallen Leaves; and Outdoor Miners.
There's a new single from godfather of rap Gil Scott-Heron, and The Durutti Column pay tribute to their much-missed record company boss Tony Wilson. There's new electronica from Four Tet; DJ Moguai; Stimming; Exercise One; and a collaboration featuring amongst others DJ Hell and Bryan Ferry - not often you see those two names on the same record.
If your speakers have recovered from last month, I play the other side of the fine dubstep 12" by Shackleton vs Invasion; and there's a Peel's Big 45 from Jody Reynolds; as well as this month's Educating Elizabeth record by Rubin.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Fac 501 was the catalogue number given to Tony Wilson's coffin.

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!
