Our third part of our 2018 review has heavy rock railing against gentrification, North African-infused jazz, Chilean techno, Ugandan bass, Thai noise, and sea creature folktales.

Thank you for listening this year.

We continue our journey through the exceptional music we've enjoyed this year with another batch of music that's worth looking back on. From the brilliant and silly Marie Davidson track 'Work It' through the exquisite sounds of Low and Cucina Povera, this is another cross-section of the stunning independent music released this year...

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...

The last podcast before we move into reviewing another amazing year of independent music sees another phenomenal batch of new releases...

As we close in on the year end, the exceptional new independent music just isn't drying up. This week we take in the sounds of Somalia, Turkey, Indonesia, and more on our usual traipse around new interesting, independent sounds.

It may feel like we're playing everything from Uganda's Hakuna Kulala label, but we're cherry picking the best music from the uber prolific label. This week it's the exceptional face off of Kampalans Ecko Bazz and Bigga Yut trading verses over the production of Nihiloxica's pq.

Elsewhere there's new music from Throwing Snow's third LP, two batches of Polish experimentation, synth pop from Free Love's luxury hits, Finnish pop rock and lots more...

Bookended by pioneers, this week's episode of the Independent Music Podcast is a really special one. To open we have the first taste of Throbbing Gristle legend Cosey Fanni Tutti's new solo LP due next year. To close we have throat singing Indonesian experimentalists Senyawa, whose new LP is out through US label Sublime Frequencies...

This week our selection of new exciting music starts us off in Germany, where Berlin quintet Onom Agemo & The Disco Jumpers have a new afrobeat-flavoured record to get us going. Elsewhere we have more danceable music from the Capo Verde, Cambodian techno, South Yorkshire dancehall, Danish acid and lots more...

You don't get many better hip wigglers than Colombia's finest Meridian Brothers, whose latest slice of cumbian delightfulness gets us going this week. Elsewhere, Gareth has a lot of electronics on the heavier side of the spectrum, not least the Japanese collaboration of Shun Konno and Blind Beast bringing the abrasive. Anthony has amazing, amusing techno from Marie Davidson, afro acid Congolese music, Russian punk and a whole lot more...

A special one hour show from Gareth playing some of his favourite discoveries from his time in Indonesia. Having spent time exploring music scenes in both Jakarta and Bandung, he's picked out ten stunners that range from breakcore madness, to surf, house, jazz, grindcore, psych, and a whole lot more.
