#400 – Alasdair Roberts, Mayssa Jallad, MC Yallah, Tzusing, Gorgonn, Big Break - 27 February 2023

EPISODE 400! 4,945 unique artists and labels featured and well over 4,000 tracks of experimental music touching pretty much every country on the globe (we haven’t checked, but it’ll be close). For this amazing milestone we’ve done nothing more than putting out a regular episode celebrating the experimental music that is exciting us the most right now. That includes a concept diss album aimed at a recently assassinated Japanese Prime Minister, it includes ferocious punk with lasers, it includes stop-offs at Ugandan grime, Lebanese folk, French drugs music, and everything in between. You can listen to the first six tracks for free.
