In celebration of the 2010 World Cup July's show is a show of two halves. The second half of the show is a celebration of all things off the map. This includes a survey of the releases of the ground breaking American record label, and home of important and intriguing reissues, De Stijl. Here you will have to chance to win two tasty pieces of De Stijl vinyl in a competition. In this second half you will also hear the results of an invitation project involving members of the Apskaft group of artists. Apskaftians were invited the submit new three minute tracks on the theme "Pop Music"; the results of this are both challenging, fascinating and diverse. The first half of the show, rather than being the cautious stand off we have become used to from the current world cup, is instead an exiting collection of contradictory and diverse music. We have superb exclusive live sessions from both Jash and The Playground Mafia. Plus a new track from 2nd Mouse and music from Gordon and Gunn. So much music that I inevitably ran out of time. Thanks again to The Playground Mafia, Jash, De Stijl and the Apskaftians.

All over the place Marrakesh, Buenos Aires, Sardinia, Madagasikara and the western Sahara are some of the exotic places Marcelle pays a visit to in this month's show. As always the Dutch deejay explores unknown territories in her show. And guess what: the guitar frenzy of Group Doueh and Troupe Majidi sound far more interesting and challenging than the whole of the current UK indie guitar scene put together. There is more weirdness from New York ( Eric Copeland, High Places). However, Jackdaw With Crowbar, The Rebel, Benga and Lianne Hall show there are still musical forces in the UK to be reckoned with. From the main land of Europe comes new music from Berlin/Vienna ( Cluster), Berlin ( Ellen Allien), Brussels ( DJ Elephant Power), Paris ( Sa Bat' Machines) and Amsterdam ( Zea). Marcelle goes in her radio show all over the place, like she does when travelling as a live deejay: she has just recorded a new vinyl mix album ... on the banks of the river Donau.

With the sounds of the world cup stadia coming at us like 40000 people having all had a curry with onion stuffing on the side the day before you'll find my July show a vuvuzela free zone. But what can you expect? Warrior One has given Jimmy Cliff one hundred lines and D-Code & Chan 1 have headed to the 'specialist' end of the Sky channels. Ruth Bellamy is glad ... about what? My show not sounding like a 40000 strong collective fart? Reverend Deadeye has a bone to pick with Jesus ... did they dine together at KFC? We have Vice La Vice doing the limbo and Archie Bronson Outfit on a hoola tip. There is a really fab session from Gideon Conn and a featured mash up album with Mos Def all over it called Mos Dub. I'd Mos Appreciate you 'avin' a listen :-)

The backlash against summer starts here. Not only does a track from 93millionmilesfromthesun take us into some appealing icy environs, we've got a track from The Declining Winter and no less than three tracks about those decidely noctural creatures, owls. We have some stimulating tracks of Antipodean origin, where it really is winter, including a new album from show favourite The Peach Tree and a southern hemisphere tour single from Wooden Shjips. If all this leaves you feeling unseasonably chilly, there's a fine exclusive session from Extradition Order to warm your cockles and tracks from new albums by Woom, The Men and Dalmatian Rex and the Eigentones, among others, plus self-released gems courtesy of Hehfu, Colleen Green and Floyd The Phenomenal Cat Trophy and a whole load of dub and electronic adventures from the Beatservice, Rockers' Revenge, Enough and Deep Dark & Dirty labels. Enough to disrupt even the most idyllic picnic, I'd say.
