| Jeff Grainger - May 2015 Returning after a lengthy absence with not one but two exclusive sessions recorded for his show from Outside Your House and Paul McGladdery and the Uncommitted, who incidentally will be sharing the bill at The Bank Top Tavern on the 30th with Monkeys in Love. The rest of the 120 minutes is filled with a glorious varied mix of the familiar and unfamiliar; Fear of A Camp Planet, Dihedral, Spectres, Groves, Melanie De Basio and Marching Church plus loads more. If all that isn't enough then the spectacular third Album by Jay Stansfield is LP of the Month. | ||||

| Kevin Robinson - May 2015 It's May, and as election fever grips the UK we have Winston Edwards & Blackbeard taking the dub to Downing Street. Devastating our kitchen dancefloor this this month are juke connoisseur Chrissy Murderbot, hardcore rave revivalists Wallwork & RZR, footwork mayhem from Chicago's DJ Clent, techno from Sydney's Lucy Cliché, brand new Manse on Lobster Theremin, lo-fi house from The Cyclist and archival recordings from Planet Mu's Chevron. Once again we have gender problematizing goth dance band bottoms from Brooklyn, percussionists Ginger Johnson and His African Messengers, the wonderful Trio Da Kali, cinematic soundscapes from German composer Alva Noto, rhythmic complexities from Niger's tireless Tal National and a dub influenced release from Radioactive Man. Bringing the noise this month are Lightning Bolt with their new album, garage punk action from San Francisco's Male Gaze, a taster from the forthcoming Prurient album, a reissue from early 80's anarcho-punks Part 1, and a new cassette from Dog Legs. Plus there's the second side of 2015's most essential 12" so far, featuring the vocals of seven year old Francis The Great. | ||||

| Lee Adcock - May 2015 Hey, future Lee. Did ya snag that internship you were gunning for last April? Pop me a line when you're open - I know you'll be busy, between all that packing and looking for a new house and saying goodbye to all yr friends and whatnot. You know the address. Anyway, I came in cos I needed to hand ya my show for May. Filched more noise from The Audacious Art Experiment comp - and I knew you liked Blood Sport, so I slipped that in just for you. Also, remember when you found that cool new techno-pop label GODMODE, and bought that mixtape? Well, I culled some groovy stuff from that, too. (Yes, including that Breeding Program track that you bounced around the bedroom with.) Brought in Marshmallow Coast, Fake Flowers, and Hand Sand Hands from the home team...recycled Chrismis and Evasive Backflip, cos they rule...pulled in Trupa Trupa from Blue Tapes...oh, yeah, and Frog! You remember Frog, right? Those acoustic freak-out guys from 2013? Yeah, they're here, too. And that Charlotte & Magon that blew you away last month? Got it. And I didn't mean to, but I wound up with lotsa electronic tracks. From lotsa champs - Daphne and Celeste, Blanck Mass, a Wiley remix from Actress, Dissolved...yeah. Whoops. And you remember that grinding, gun-metal track that you didn't have any info for, the one with the ridiculous gnarly cover art? I popped that one in for kicks. Um, that's it, soooo...I hope everything works out for ya. Don't forget about me, OK? | ||||

| Mark Whitby - May 2015 There are two shows this time around. This month's regular show is overflowing with keenly anticipated releases that certainly don't disappoint: in that category you can place tracks from new albums by Stealing Sheep, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Squarepusher and Cloud along with a new Clark EP and a Record Store Day release from Hinds, among other delights. We've got a brace of fine cassette releases from Fine Pets and Blue Diamond, sublime reggae from Jashwa Moses, some great Vietnamese field recordings courtesy of the Glitterbeat label, Hungarian punk from Menj Kapalni and Mexican electronic mayhem from Zutzut. Plus some exceptionally good reissues this month rub shoulders with Peel Back... session recordings hailing from Germany and Belgium. Fittingly, in the month that UK voters go to the polls, we've got an exclusive session from The Socialist. There is more on that theme ... An extra show from me this month brings together some of my favourite political and protest music from down the years. Alongside usual suspects like Billy Bragg, Chumbawamba and Stiff Little Fingers you'll find lesser heard gems from the likes of Norman & Nancy Blake, Lord Beginner and the Sheffield Socialist Choir. From this side of the Atlantic, Christy Moore and Red Guitars offer insightful comment on the Thatcher legacy, while the JD Meatyard rails against the post-Thatcher 'consensus' and Crass take a well-aimed stab at the whole system. Over in the States, meanwhile, Jackson Browne tears into Reagan, Country Joe & The Fish do something similar to Johnson, Nina Simone stands up for her rights in the pre-Civil Rights south, and Sonic Youth dispatch a kick to the guts of the American far right. Just in case you think that means we overlooked South African apartheid, police brutality, the plight of immigrants, Jamaican poverty, the Northern Ireland conflict, American foreign policy in the middle east, the decline of the Soviet Union and the British press, we didn't. | ||||

| Rocker - May 2015 Another three hour show this month, with an excellent featured album from Personal Best, as well as new tracks from Cinerama; The Catenary Wires; The Granite Shore; Chook Race; Wire; The Ethical Debating Society; Panther Ray; Hard Left; First Base; JD Meatyard; The Jet Age; Evans The Death; Darlings; Zebra Hunt; and Milky Wimpshake. There's electronica from Jake Chudnow; Kölsch; Euripides; King So So; and a storming remix of the current Skream single by Redshape. Not forgetting that there's a General Election here in the UK this month, we start the show with a handful of political tracks, carefully picked to avoid any accusations of bias (except where absolutely necessary). This month's Peel's Big 45 is the first African record that John Peel remembered playing, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is a little know deep soul gem from 1973. As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: "Kölsch" means "from Cologne" in German, and may refer to a popular German beer as well as the techno artist. | ||||

| Sean Hocking - May 2015 Ring Of Fire is back and we want you to relax! So what better than our favourite Tin Pot Aliens to start the show off for you. Also this month we've criss-crossed the planet so you don't get bored. There's angry Californians in the form of Death Grips, a very odd bunch from India who go by the name Digital Suicide, to be honest I'm not really sure what they are on about but I think that's part of the charm. From Shanghai we have Round Eye, and this month's Hong Feature is bedroom hip hop producer Little Albert who has penned a great little digital album about HK culture and Facebook and also in Asia The Kuda from Indonesia. On the urban side of things we've got fellow Indonesians AntzKilla with a funky slab of old style hip hop released on USA based label ARCA RECS, Peckham's finest the Newham Generals and I know it's all over the place but I can't get enough of Jamie XX's Loud Places. That boy certainly knows how to make 21st century pop music. Also some great oldies from The Flies, Ackie and Australia's Russell Morris That's not everything but enough to keep you going. | ||||
