Christmas is upon us once again, and Liam is back with some festive treats for you from the cinema and to close out 2024! Featured artists are Michael Giacchino, Danny Elfman, and Harry Gregson-Williams.

Orientalism episode 3 Ben Khan presents another selection of Middle Eastern and East Asian musical treasures......expect psychedelic and percussive.....hypnogogic and transcendent.....unsung and hidden music from Egypt, Syria, Taiwan, Japan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Southern India and Turkey All music played from (mostly) original vinyl pressings

This one is pre Christmas. Lots and lots Of Balkan music as usual. Eclectic and very upbeat, celebratory kind of. A lot of Brass and traditional music. Some very nice vocals and a lot of clarinet. Liam and I are wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Faithfully, Bo! ☀️❤️🫡

A repeat of the AfroBase show which went out on 28.12.18 for Xmas. From South African Xmas Jive to Congolese New Year soukous via Kenya, Travelling to Botswana's Guitar music, Naija's Afrobeats, Umoja and K.o.G., Morrocco's Moulay Ahmed el Hassani, Te'Amir, Mali's legendary Salif Keita na dMali's Baba Sissoko with DJ Khalab. Letting off steam fon the dance floor with 100% Setho & Impression des As, Fally Ipupo's Power Kosa Leka, and Lorna - all from the two Congos.

It’s Ian Curtis’ Christmas party, and this week’s show is word-heavy - just the way the big man would have wanted it. Low-key existential and, yes, actually quite sad, the hour features avant-garde icons Bertie Marshall, Mark Perry, and the late Scott Walker. Their strange, off-kilter soundscapes serve to slightly sweeten the deal. Goodbye 2024 and good riddance!

Join Mariana for another sonic journey on Bars-tender, where music connects stories and emotions across genres, cultures, and continents. This week’s show dives into a mix of jazz, indie, folk, soul, and global sounds, featuring standout tracks like Hiatus Kaiyote’s “The Lung,” a lush exploration of music as a source of life and energy, and Tony Succar’s reimagining of “Cardo o Ceniza,” bridging Peruvian tradition with bold, modern experimentation. From the soulful grooves of Menahan Street Band and Rogê’s “Mis Filos” to the whimsical storytelling of La Lá’s “Selva Negra” and the ethereal melancholy of The Japanese House’s, this episode moves seamlessly through moods and styles. Listen in for fascinating sounds, with less insights this time, as music takes the centre stage. Also, count with Cymande’s groundbreaking fusion sound and the new Robohands single “Thermae”, and much more. Expect a rich, reflective hour where each track breathes life into the next. Tune in and let the vibes soothe your soul, only on Bars-tender.

A sonic journey through rural Ireland, ending in the backstreets of Hackney. Stopping in Farringdon, the weird world of Coil and the haunted house of John Bence along the way.
