Andy's one-hour April show includes new music from Orbital, Tired Cossack, Bdrmm, Lambrini Girls, MGMT, Epic45, Seagoth, R. Missing and Arab Strap. You'll also hear a John Peel session track by The Flaming Stars, originally broadcast in 2002, and just released by Precious Recordings Of London, as well as the first new material in 14 years from previous sessions guests from this show, Swathes.

Brian Shea of Bordellos chooses the tunes - Sean Hocking plays them

Greetings! This month I have new stuff from Alien Nosejob, The Minneapolis Uranium Club Band, Full Flower Moon Band, The Paranoid Style, Ekko Astral, Koridor, Retimbrar, Arrêt, The Body & Dis Fig, The Lasters, Aili, and a song from an upcoming album by Earth Tongue.
I am pleased to spread the news that Precious Recordings made good on their promise to release BBC radio sessions by Close Lobsters, which just came out on 10" vinyl. You will hear all of these goodies and more this month.
Enjoy the show!

Gareth brings you a little April shower of new songs plus a small splash of lost classics.
There's sinister Electro sounds from Synthetic Villains, strange Soul from Pepe Deluxé and a cool cover version from The Wedding Present.
The 2nd hour's guest host is Kerry of The Baby Seals who is taking part in regular feature 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' to coincide with the release of their new album 'Chaos' released April 19th.
You'd be an April fool to miss it.

Four hours that positively throb with the beating heart of new music from Leo this month.
Tracks from the stunning, excoriating new album by Kim Gordon, as well as super-strength tunes from ENOLA, Scott Lavene, Alessandro Cortini & Baseck and (band name of the month) IRKED.
He has also uncovered a tune that combines sufi and flamenco influences (yes, really) by Aziz Balouch, and has two songs from the Czech Republic in the shape of Ruce naší Dory and Pavel Richter.
Even more exciting than all this, Leo has his first session, from multi-instrumentalist Magana.
Turn your radio on!

Well, there is plenty to be getting excited about in the world of music. There is a new Habibi album on the way and I'm playing the first track to emerge for it. SHADOW SHOW have an album recently released and I'm playing a track from that too. Ross Tones is back as Throwing Snow and has produced a fine new single and Jawbone is back with one of his one-man-band bangers. There are new (to me) artists like Olmo, Spacebridge, Raye Cole and Yan Grooger and plenty more familiar (to my show) bands and artists too. Step on board?

It's been a while, but we finally resume what hopefully will be the regular feature of sessions in this show and where better to start? Bedbug are this month's guests and there's a single from Max Blansjaar who'll be appearing in session right here next month.
In addition to those, we've got tracks from new albums by Squarepusher, Kim Gordon, House Of All and Mdou Moctar, among others, plus new singles featuring the likes of Ranking Joe, Vertont, Crumbs, Zoom Uinit and CSE Art Project.
Naturally, there's another Peel Back... feature, with archive tracks from April 1974, 1984 and 1994 and, in a show otherwise - out of necessity - light on vintage tunes, a live retrospective from Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen.

This month Rocker brings you an hour of music, including new tracks from Snuff; The Wendy Darlings; Beth Gibbons; Jetstream Pony; Silver Biplanes; Blue Orchids; Beau; and Jasmine Allen Estate.
There's new electronica from Azzecca; and a new Afrobeat remix of a house music classic.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a 1957 release out of California, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is a 7" from 1968.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: A Charabanc was an open-topped vehicle with rows of bench seats, commonly used for works outings in the UK in the first half of the twentieth century, until superseded by the motor bus.

It's Bottom of the Pops and it's April and whereas I usually open the show with something brand new I thought instead, this month, I should pay my respects to both Steve Harley (Cockney Rebel) and Karl Wallinger (World Party / The Waterboys) who both sadly passed away last month. On re-listening to Cockney Rebel I have fallen in love with those songs all over again and show opener Mr Soft has been re-played too many times to mention over the past few weeks in this household. I remember in the late 90's re-discovering World Party and have never looked back, Goodbye Jumbo was and still is one of the most prescient albums out there.
New tunes from Londoners, The Skinner Brothers who, as I say in the show, straddle Flowered Up & Mike Skinner, that'll do me.
I'm also really enjoying rather odd Spaniards, Mainline Magic Orchestra but my real current obsession as you'll learn from the show, is the Indonesian duo, Senyawa.
I have played them a little before on the show but have recently delved deeper and very rewarding it is too. Based out of Yogyakarta in Java they make music that is entirely ancient and modern at the same time. When I listen to them it feels like the first time I heard Junkyard by the Birthday Party. Please give them your time they make, I think, some of the most interesting music on the planet at the moment.
Music also from I Roy, Brutalismus 3000, Aborted Tortoise and lots of other outfits with strange and wonderful names.

This month X-Ray Moon has put together a special programme dedicated to Damo Suzuki, the former lead singer of CAN who recently passed away ... X-Ray Moon looks into the influence that Damo Suzuki, CAN and some of their contemporaries have had on music and musicians from the late 1960s up to the present day.
We are swirled through a maelstrom of experimental, avant-garde, surrealistic and subversive sounds and attitudes. From Damo Suzuki, CAN, Harmonia, Neu!, Faust, Amon Duul II, and Kraftwerk… to post-Punk groups such as P.I.L., Joy Division and Teardrop Explodes… to groups that covered CAN tracks, such as Loop, Jesus and Marychain, and Blixa Bargeld ... to the phenomenal, in their own right, The Velvet Underground.
This is a programme both for those who are Krautrock-curious and for those who have been followers of aka ‘Kosmische Musik’ for quite some time. For, X-Ray Moon plays both tracks that many will have heard before, but he also seems to have trawled either the depths of his own record collection or the inner-most sanctum of the music-net ... or quite possibly both ... and come up with tracks that even the most hardcore lover of all musical Germanic things from the late 60s early 70s is unlikely to have come across before.
