Independent Music Podcast

Back together in the same place again this week, and what a selection we've got for you.

This is our first show in a long time where we've recorded in the same room, and it's all the better for it. Here in the UK we specialise in warm beer, but the Hot Beer of Nazamba that opens this podcast puts us in a much better place than the curiosities of post-lockdown Britain.

This record - a collaboration with Moonworshipper co-founder Blood Tower - is another blinder.

Elsewhere we have bouncy sounds from Turkey's Serkan Eles, grime legend Wiley, the blinding collaboration between Deafkids and Petbrick and loads more. *Please note: this episode was recorded and released before Wiley outed himself as a racist anti-semite.

It seems quite poignant to have a track from 'Am I Free to Go?' an LP of punk covers from The Soft Pink Truth - the project of Matmos' Drew Daniel - on this week's show. It's been a while since we had some breakcore, but this record is a must-buy.  All profits will go to the International Anti-Fascist Legal Defence Fund, which assists people all around the world with the legal repercussions of protesting fascism: https://thesoftpinktruth.bandcamp.com/album/am-i-free-to-go Elsewhere this week, we've got some Sudanese jazz that sounds more like surf music, epic modern classical, jazz funk, dancehall, and your usual blend of the good stuff.
