Andrew Morrison - February 2015 After a four month break from Dandelion Radio's airwaves, Andy is back with two hours of the best new(ish) music that he hasn't had a chance to play since his last show in October. Selections include tracks from Raury, The Twilight Sad, TV On The Radio, Burial, The Horn The Hunt, Real Lies, The Raveonettes and Aphex Twin. You'll also hear a slightly belated countdown of his twelve favourite tunes of 2014, plus there's a tribute to the whistling wonder that was Ronnie Ronalde who sadly passed away in January. | ||||

Kevin Robinson - February 2015 Wrap up warm and allow us to delve into the new release pile which this month offers an album of surf punk instrumentals from Swami John Reis & The Blind Shake, raucous new sounds from Perspex Flesh, Pampers, and Sick Thoughts, plus an interesting new 12" from Mark Ernestus. We've also got more tracks from the Witching Waves and Trash Kit albums, as well as that awesome compilation from Duppy Gun Productions. As usual there's intriguing music from all corners of the globe with The Dance Asthmatics from New Zealand, the Tarcar from Australia, plus there's Argentina's Los Cripis and German trio The Durian Brothers. Dub sounds this month come from Sweden in the form of Casio Love and from Nashville in the form of Pale Rider. Beats and bass this month comes from Luke Slater in his L.B. Dub Corp guise, Kompakt's Reinhard Voigt, Keysound's Caski, Demdike Stare, Beat Spacek and Afrikan Sciences. Plus we've got previously unreleased compositions from the Boomarm Nation family including respected forces of the Istanbul beat scene iskeletor and El Mahdy Jr. and one side of a wonderfully ambitious C30 cassette from Moon B. Also this month we throw back to the 80's with Birmingham's Sceptre and Lucrate Milk from Paris, to the 70's with proto-punkers electric eels, plus there's much more to make up three fun-packed hours of radio bliss. | ||||

Lee Adcock - February 2015 Fact: the only Valentine's Day gift I've received from someone other than my mother was a few carnations from an anonymous source in high school. I was flabbergasted at the time - but, now that I think about it, I'll betcha the mystery suitor was only my big bro. Anyway, no flowers or big teddy bears here - I've got a ten-tier box of assorted sweets for ya. If it's guitar flavors you crave, chew on indie pop superstars The Fireworks, or the Minutemen-esque GNARDS, or the righteous Chastity Belt. The more adventurous sweet tooth can delight in Colin Robinson's newest creation via Churn Milk Joan, which is so irresistibly rich that I pulled three tracks from it. Plus for you sentimental lovers out there, the golden AM sounds of Animal Daydream and a return of the come-as-you-are indie folk kids Low Low Low La La La Love Love Love should tide you over. As for the electronic goodies, the pixellated candy floss disaster that is Eric Copeland should keep you busy for the long car ride, while the adults in the room can swill some Klara Lewis in their wine glasses and chug-a-lug. You that fancy hard liquor might wolf down this Strange U brew, or perhaps the split between Scares and Tococoa will whet your whistle. From the imports list, we've just brought in the Ghana hip-hop grooves of Ata Kak, the fascinating Swedish retro-electro of Body in The Thames, and the Cologne flare of Reinhard Voigt. Whew. And that's not even the whole shebang. Sure beats a bouquet, don't it? Oh. And heads up - Father Murphy may scare your pants off. Be ready. | ||||

Mark Whitby - February 2015 Jim Milne, formerly of Tractor and The Way We Live, is the session guest in a show that features yet more of the best early releases of 2015, including great new stuff from, among others, Mega Emotion, Iskeletor and Acid Mothers Temple, plus a track from the new JD Meatyard that sees the light of day later this month. We preview a couple of cracking March reggae releases, a new one from Capital Letters and a Black Symbol anthology, a forthcoming release from Jude Cowan Montague & Wim Oujdik and yet another stunning offering from the Blue Tapes label, while joining the general clamour of approval circulating around a first new album in 35 years from The Pop Group. We also take a look at some of the more interesting label samplers about at the moment, in the process digging out tunes from the likes of The Retro Spankees, Trapped Mice and Mdou Moctar and still find time for an extended Peel Back... featuring tunes heard in session on John Peel shows 20, 30 and 40 years ago this month. | ||||

Pete Jackson - February 2015 This month the music is split between the now and happening, with 2015 releases from Moon Duo, The Blue Giant Zeta Puppies, Dälek, Cranium Pie and Schnauser, among others, plus a whole bunch of tunes from the 20th Century - expect sounds of the 1920s, 30s, 60s, 70s and 80s ranging from the Delta blues to dub and beyond. There's also some great sounds from long-term and new-found favourites Dementio13, Jiboía, Mogwai, Nueva Costa and The Black Twig Pickers. One to file under 'eclectic', I think. | ||||

Rocker - February 2015 Another cracking show this month - no sessions or featured albums - just three hours of mostly new music - including tracks from Pet Politics; Jen Cloher; CTMF; Ivan The Tolerable; Pete Wylie; Seth Corbin; Firestations; The Popguns; Belle And Sebastian; Stephen Fall; East Brunswick All Girls Choir; Soaked; Zebra Hunt; The Electric Pop Group; SeaWitches; The Fireworks; No/No; and Flyying Colours. There's electronica from Johannes Brecht; Fraternal Bee remixed by Luis Junior; and We Need Cracks remixed by Clawz SG. Also Carl Craig takes on Caribou, while Metrik teams up with ShockOne to give an Underworld classic a bit of a seeing to. The Nightingales give us their interpretation of a Lovely Eggs tune, while fellow midlanders Capital Letters tell us of their love for their home town, Wolverhampton. Also Sarandon cover The Nightingales. Meanwhile Australian Jen Cloher covers a 1967 hit by The Loved Ones, and London duo Cowbell covers Ray Charles. This month's Peel's Big 45 is a rock'n'roller from 1963, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is the above-mentioned Ray Charles cover. As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: When Ray Charles' single "Unchain My Heart" was released in 1962, it was rare for an artist to appear in both the US R'n'B charts and the US pop chart. It was amazingly his 35th entry (and his eighth Number One) on the R'n'B chart, and his 24th entry on the pop chart. | ||||

Sean Hocking - February 2015 In Ring of Fire we've got a two hour show featuring new tunes from Cambodia, Thailand, Australia and beyond, even some Zambian 70's Psych which, let's admit it, seems to be flavor of the month at the moment. Some great oldies in the show as well including Peel faves The Prefects, some great dub from Mikey Dread and King Tubby and early Rough Trade players Disco Zombies. On the electronic side of things great cuts from Invisible Conga People and Kalabrese as well a classic Balearic cassette (well that's how I remember it) bootleg Pink Floyd re-imagined by the Orb with a rather extended version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Finally, as much as they say music is the work of the devil ISIS still have a theme tune. Ok it's not very cheery or funky for that matter but it is worth highlighting that Dawlat al-Islam exists. If you want to know more the Guardian published a very well researched article on the subject late last year and do check out the Shiites they appear to have a bit more funk than their Sunni cousins Also listen out for my special 1 hour tribute to Kim Fowley who died in January. | ||||

Sean Hocking's Kim Fowley Special - February 2015 All the best ones are dying off and we are left with very little originality and that's why this month you'll hear a one hour show from me featuring some moments of oddness, madness and just plain fun from Kim Fowley. I first came across Fowley in the late 70's via reading about him (probably in something by Lester Bangs) but it being the days of living on next to nothing and no Internet it took me a number of years to get my hands on any of his actual recordings. Instead everything had to be left to my imagination and over time I managed to pick up a copy of the Fire Escape LP featuring the Trip, hear Bubblegum on Sonic Youth's EVOL album and hear third hand re-inventions of his 60's productions such as the Cramps version of Surfing Bird on the amazing Gravest Hits. Now of course we can be satiated immediately with a quick YouTube search but my love grew for him over the years of trawling second hand record stores searching out anything he'd been involved with. I hope you enjoy the selection as much as I did putting it together and anybody smart enough to spot the genius of the Modern Lovers early on is fine by me! Also listen out for my regular where we have new tunes from Cambodia, Thailand, Australia and beyond. | ||||
