Totallyradio genre: indie

We had live music and interviews tonight from King Tear and Static Ella, alongside a playlist including Billy Nomates, Arcade Fire, Fleetwood Mac and Nia Archives.

Synesthesia is back for its 8th episode ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ ⋆˚꩜｡ Expect a mix of electronic, industrial and alternative

Beautiful chaos may well have been this month’s musical theme, had the songs not picked themselves. These are tunes of the untethered: artists who exist outside the musical boxes we insist on confining them to. Artists who’ve paved the way, and those still pushing things forward… and then there’s Ariel Pink, still making everyone feel a bit uncomfortable, though a visionary nonetheless.

April, come she will. Well obviously the show opened with that perfect little Simon & Garfunkel number. And from then on there was no stopping the radio ragdoll wending its way through hits and hidden gems both old and new and in between, for three whole luxurious hours. Feature-wise, a spoken-word-themed We Love Four Tunes brings tracks from Anthony Joseph, Richmond Fontaine, Samantha Lindo and Spearmint; there’s some Whitney and Buckingham/Nicks in It Takes Two; and Covered In Glory delivers Muse covering “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” and Lucy Dacus making Cher’s “Believe” sound like a song that you might listen to on purpose. Many more eclectic musical delights besides, as well as some live announcements like Slung’s instore at Family Store Records (25 April) and album launch at GDS (3rd May), and an Easter long-weekend bonanza of entertainment at the Bedford Tavern raising money for Rosie’s urgent fundraising campaign #HelpMeHelpB (more info/donate/share: https://www.gofundme.com/f/HelpMeHelpB).

This week on the show - The first part of a DJ set I played last week @GOMA Bar, Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, with tracks by Psapp, K-LONE, Arielle Par Nature, Aunty Rayzor, Band Spectra, 3XPERIENCE, Sestrica, Fcukers, clipping., Lady Lola, Orbital & Anna B Savage, Mermaid Chunky and much more.

The best of cutting edge sounds from a wide range of genres. Including two pieces of Afrofuturism from Clipping, the industrial percussion of Ugly Animal, dance floor gold with Debby Friday, the delightful slanted pop of Gwenno, new solo work from The Au Pairs’ Lesley Woods, drum and bass courtesy of Enei & Kasra, plus plenty more besides. From out of the vaults come the stunning soul music of Wilma Reading, post punk pioneers Virgin Prunes, and old skool hip hop from Mixmaster Gee and The Turntable Orchestra. Meanwhile, this week’s soundtrack music selections are David Shire’s suite for ‘The Taking Of Pelham One-Two-Three’, and Barry Gray’s music for Gerry Anderson’s ‘UFO’. Dig in!

Order and disorder, a freeform haze of garbage guitars, shorted electronics, found detritus, collage, linear songs, sounds from strange lands.

An hour and a half of brand new music of many stripes. Including exuberant post punk from YAANG, the after hours riddims of Joy Orbison, Indonesian dream pop courtesy of Uluhara, modern composition with Wojciech Rusin, the pulsing grooves of Decius, Alternative TV at their most experimental, and plenty more. From out of the vaults come Golden Retriever with a sublime instrumental, Scientist and Jammy in the outer limits of dub, plus a late period banger from Paul McCartney. Whilst this week’s soundtrack music selections are extracted from David Julyan’s score for the psychological thriller ‘Memento’, and Angelo Badalamenti’s peerless music for David Lynch’s ‘Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me’. Dig in!
