Independent Music Podcast

Big BIG BIG sounds on this week’s Independent Music Podcast. A generally iffy week personally means that beers have been drunk and the music is beyond reproach.  Metronomic krautrock feeds to immense synth dungeon dance floor sounds, grime from living legend Manga Saint Hilare, and uncategorisable music from Ziúr on Uganda’s Hakuna Kulala label.  Beyond that, deep house, Japanese footwork, Russian anti-war folk songs, and a triumphant return for the superb Selvhenter showcase the very best in global experimental sounds.
