We’re setting out our own club night on this week’s Independent Music Podcast.

We’ve never really put much value on genre descriptors – the best music seems to be a meld of influences that creates a new sound altogether – and it’s just as well with this show, where we have no words to describe whatever the music of Inhumankind is.We also have a cracking new one from Nihiloxica member pq, whose new record on Lapsus takes you on a journey between club workouts and contemplative electronic music.In addition, we have the new one from Szun Waves, the phenomenal OST from violinist Galya Bisengalieva, motivational doom music, and much more.

After last week’s podcast saw artists stretching out the length of their tracks, this week’s sees some of the world’s most exciting independent artists consolidating into shorter tracks of delight. From the gabber of Lady Neptune, to the sound art of Chrome Hoof’s Chlöe Herrington, via the futuristic jazz of Polish five-piece EABS, there’s a lot to love in relatively small pieces.

We’re moving fairly uptempo this week. The opening refrain of piano music from 自主制作テクノ（ミヤタ) quickly gives way to blistering techno, and we have plenty of examples of high, obtuse BPM to rattle through a strong hour along with.It’s not all wildly uptempo though, we gave you the first taste of Lia Mice’s new record on Objects Limited way back in August, and we’ve got another for you now.

What a selection this is! We’re always happy with the selection of music we bring to each and every Independent Music Podcast, but there is something truly magical about this combination of tracks. There’s a whole lot of maximalism in small packages, from the very first track we have heavy jazz skronk combining with ferocious ‘punch a hole in your soul’ drumming of Australian duo Party Dozen. We follow that with the latest dance floor-friendly industrial body music of Barcelona duo Dame Area, whose Ondas Tribales record on Mannequin was one of our favourites of last year, and the follow-up is equally wonderful. Elsewhere we’ve got an introduction to Venezuela synthesiser pioneer Oksana Linde, and a more contemporary female footwork pioneer Jana Rush. We have Indonesian disco from Midnight Runners, a This is the Kit cover of Rachael Dadd, and so much more. Tracklisting Party Dozen – The Iron Boot (Temporary Residence Ltd., USA) Dame Area – Esto me Pertenece (Humo Internacional, Spain) Oksana Linde – Intromersi
