A weekly show that brings you ten new tracks from artists from across the world. We cover every genre conceivable, from abstract techno, mutated dancehall, dark metal to Chinese bin lid music or something else - if it's recorded outside of the major label system, we're up for playing it. You'll find music you love, music you don't understand, and music that'll change your life.

#209 - Favourites of 2018 (not the best of 2018) - part one
Even though we sit here having played music from 390 releases this year, we feel a bit uneasy producing a 'best of' 2018 when there's still so much great music we haven't heard.
But from what we have heard there are so many highlights to cram into three shows of favourites. This first one gets us going with the blistering track from Sophie's phenomenal Oil of Every Pearl's Uninsides LP on Transgressive. Across the first ten tracks we take in a third play from the 700 Bliss cassette, Anna von Hausswolff's sublime LP, middle eastern techno, Kenya glitches, a track from a ballet and a lot more.
More great highlights coming next week... just don't call it a best of.
