#416 – James Blackshaw, David Toop & Lawrence English, Colleen, Tapes, Thee Alcoholics, DJ RaMeMes - 26 June 2023

Music right out of the top drawer on this week’s Independent Music Podcast. From computerised funk with added duck noises, through to fiery industrial techno and everything in between. We have stunningly beautiful Middle Eastern dub from Blend Miskin and Panos Dimitrakopoulos, something extraordinary from Brazil’s DK RaMeMes, and anthemic doom from Aidan Baker and Circle’s Jussi Lehtisalo and lots more. You can listen to the first six tracks for free.
