Kevin Robinson - April 2015 Pack your bags; we're visiting all corners of the globe this April. We begin with a selection from Radio Vietnam - a collage of music, news segments, dynamic radio bumpers, jingles, advertisements, comedic interludes phoned-in karaoke sing-a-longs and coded messages from the outer ether, recorded and compiled by Mark Gergis for Sublime Frequencies. This programme also contains the vocal talents of seven year old singer Francis The Great, as well as music from South Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and from the Jemaa El Fna in Marrakesh. Dancefloor driven tracks this month arrive from Rotterdam's Stranger, Shanghai's Tzusing and Texas via Berlin's Lotic. We've got the phantasmagorical spectacle of Snapped Ankles, plus new tracks from Finland's Tsembla, Powell, Djrum and DVA Damas. There's the gender problematizing goth dance band bottoms from Brooklyn, sax fuelled punk from Rhode Island's Downtown Boys, something that isn't Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses, plus post-punk reissues from San Francisco's Pink Section and the Inflatable Boy Clams. Also this month, tasters from the new Joanna Gruesome and Holly Herndon albums, new tapes from Actual Crimes and Pennycress, more from the bewildering archive of Muslimgauze, a classic roots set by The Inturns and a rare King Tubby dub plate from the vaults of Jimmy Riley. | ||||

Lee Adcock - April 2015 April! Someone's about to turn 25, so let's keep this lively. Like the buds that sprout from a long cold winter, a bunch of labels and artists have blossomed this spring. Odd Box has gathered a bushel of beauts, like T-Shirt Weather and (my personal fave!) Chorusgirl. And then that absolute peach Cloud has returned with a more stable, but still breathtaking new LP. So has Flies On You, though that 'un smells less like jasmine and more like bleu cheese. Also, expect a few Athens imports, like the spunky El Hollín and the righteous Chrismis, and a pair of Brooklyn DIY rock gangs with glorious band names. Plus, I just bought the Audacious Art Experiment's Annual Stakeholder Audit, which is a beastly comp and shall be featured heavily for the next two months AT LEAST. And the usual riff raff, non-sequiturs, covert submarine drum & bass, DOPE reissues, and so forth. This month also features a very lovely session from Audio Antihero's Low Low Low La La La Love Love Love. | ||||

Mark Whitby - April 2015 No particular reason for it, but there's a real John Peel flavour to this month's show. We've got an exclusive session from Peel faves Cuban Boys for one thing, and you can add to that tunes from ex-Hefner members Darren Hayman and Antony Harding plus a Cornershop re-working of an old favourite. There's another track from the new JD Meatyard album and something from the latest offering from The Monochrome Set, while Clinic cover The Doors: just one of a clutch of memorable cover versions in the show as Polykeeper also tackle Kraftwerk while Lorelle Meets The Obsolete take on The Rolling Stones. Plenty of other great new stuff in there, of course. FKOFF 1963 and DJ Chernobyl both bring sumptuous offerings from Brazil; there are a couple of great releases from the Elefant label courtesy of The School and Giorgio Toma With Laetitia Sadier, while Manhattan Love Suicides and T-Shirt Weather deliver another memorable double on behalf of Odd Box and there's a brace also from Gravitas, featuring tunes from France's CloZee and the USA's Bassline Drift. | ||||

Pete Jackson - April 2015 This month, Pete is delighted to bring you the exclusive first play of two tracks from the forthcoming album from I, Ludicrous, their first in donkey's years. Expect tales (preposterous or not) of label-supported smugness and an unlikely meeting between two people who, it turns out, didn't murder anyone. Elsewhere, there's new releases from more old favourites, including Dementio13, White Hills and Public Service Broadcasting, two slices of seventies craziness from Portugal and Cambodia, some hollerin' from the Louisiana swamps and the Brazilian jungle, and Portland, Oregan's Honeybucket take on Manchester's favourite son. | ||||

Rocker - April 2015 No sessions this month, just a three hour show packed with new music from all over the world, including tracks from Personal Best; The Catenary Wires; Hard Left; Comet Gain; First Base; The Lovely Eggs; The Blind Shake; T-Shirt Weather; JD Meatyard; Evans The Death; Darlings; Joanna Gruesome; Zebra Hunt; and Los Bonsais. There's a stunning new track from Skream, and more electronica from Grum; Shur-I-Kan; New York Transit Authority; Gidge; Dorian Concept; and Pearson Sound. There's also politics from the likes of Alun Parry; Flies On You; Not Right; and a hard hitting track from Cambodian artist Krom, on Sean Hocking's excellent Metal Postcard label, decrying the 'Taliban Man'. This month's Peel's Big 45 is a San Francisco punk classic from 1977, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is a lesser known R'n'B spin out of LA 1969. As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Alun Parry's 'Sack Esther McVey' is the official song for Wirral TUC's Sack Esther McVey campaign - McVey is the Tory MP for Wirral West, and as Employment Minister of the UK coalition government has overseen the undermining of the welfare system by the instigation of targets for Jobcentre staff for indiscriminate sanctioning of benefit recipients for minor or even fictional breaches of rules, effectively removing the safety net from the poorest and most vulnerable in society. | ||||

Sean Hocking - April 2015 Ring Of Fire is back and as spring begins to break through for those of us in the northern hemisphere we thought we'd feature some summery tunes, so we've got some great early 80's "Afrodisco" tracks favored by Italian Dj's of the mid 80's and our standard 70's Jamaiacan inclusion. From Asia we feature new China artists Wootac and The Fuzz and do make sure you have a listen to the new EP from Napolleon who hark from Bandung Indonesia and cite one of their influences as "White Light White Heat" by the Velvets. Sadly Lesley Gore who certainly had a pair of chops on her, passed away last month sop we couldn't but not include her in the show. Also a pair of UK classics are back on form. Mr Weller hasn't sounded so good since Wild Wood and The Pop Group's new album is almost as wonderful as their late seventies outings. We feature cuts from both. Keep an ear out for The Moonlandingz who are essentially The Fat White Family starring in a movie and they sound great as always. That's enough for the moment .. don't want to give all the great musical surprises away. | ||||
