Independent Music Podcast

As of this podcast, we have supported 3,596 unique artists and record labels, but we need your help to support more. Even though we host the podcast for free so that we can celebrate phenomenal music, this podcast has hundreds of pounds in additional costs that we can't cover alone. If you can afford it and want to make sure we can bring you the next 3,596 artists and labels that could change your life, please support us via Patreon: patreon.com/independentmusicpodcast. Now, with that out the way, we can tell you about this week's pod. It starts with slow funk jams from Napoli, takes you through the trap underground of London, via experimental psych from Japan, Malawian witchdoctor field recordings, and a whole lot more. It's a real cracker. Tracklisting A.C. Band - Good Feelings (Vocal Version) (Periodica Records, Italy) Shlimp Warc - Reeth (Otoroku, UK) Opus & Dedw8 - Indigo (Potentfunk Records, UK) Valentina Magaletti & Marlene Ribeiro - Viaggio Inverso (Commando Vanessa, Italy) Doctor Kanuska Grou

Astounding posthumous work on this show, firstly from the tragically recently departed Jake Dunwoody, whose Effluvium project produced an utter masterpiece in Vera earlier this year. This record - a collaboration with Moonworshipper co-founder Blood Tower - is another blinder. We also have Sun Ra Arkestra putting out their first release in 20 years, and their version of Sonny's Seductive Fantasy is utterly exquisite. Elsewhere we have bouncy sounds from Turkey's Serkan Eles, grime legend Wiley, the blinding collaboration between Deafkids and Petbrick and loads more. *Please note: this episode was recorded and released before Wiley outed himself as a racist anti-semite. If he had done this before, we would not have aired his music and will not do so in future* Tracklisting Serkan Eles - Badire (Shango Records, Greece) Wiley - Double Dragon (self-release, UK) Effluvium - Suze (feat.

Without Black culture, this podcast wouldn't exist, and neither would music as we know it. 'Fuck the Police' the track from Jamaican legend Daddy Freddy and Yorkshire duo Danny T & Tradesman came out just before the current protests but is particularly poignant this week.  Elsewhere, we have more timely releases from Mourning [a] BLKstar and Joy-Rides, we also have the latest from Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids, the long awaited first record from Italy's Hvsband, skronk jazz from London's Sly & the Family Drone, dark disco industrial cutups from Jakarta's Aditya Permana and a lot more.  By the way, our next online live show is this Thursday (11 June).

It seems quite poignant to have a track from 'Am I Free to Go?' an LP of punk covers from The Soft Pink Truth - the project of Matmos' Drew Daniel - on this week's show. It's been a while since we had some breakcore, but this record is a must-buy.  All profits will go to the International Anti-Fascist Legal Defence Fund, which assists people all around the world with the legal repercussions of protesting fascism: https://thesoftpinktruth.bandcamp.com/album/am-i-free-to-go Elsewhere this week, we've got some Sudanese jazz that sounds more like surf music, epic modern classical, jazz funk, dancehall, and your usual blend of the good stuff. Our next online live show is on 11 June.

The one with the clarinets. Well, two tracks with prominent clarinet, but not like you've ever heard before - especially the skronk dance jazz goodness from Moscow's  Jenya Kukoverov (it's better than that sounds, promise).

The second in our series of guest shows. This time we have the exceptional producer pq putting together an hour or so of music that takes us from Southeast Asia to Uganda, touching down in Japan, Greece, and Rotherham, whilst giving us a taste of some unreleased sounds of his own. pq is one-sixth of Nihiloxica, whose debut LP lands on 12 June via Crammed Discs.

In these strange times, this may be the last 'proper' new podcast for some time. We will keep the feed awash with great music, but we're not 100% sure whether we'll be able to record new shows in the manner you've come accustomed to.  Despite the uncertainty, there's still a whole lot of new exciting music out there, and - as usual - that's what we want to focus on. Whether it's Uruguayan garage, Italian dub techno, or Glaswegian DIY non-jazz, we've got the good stuff for you. If you can, please support bands, artists, record labels, promoters, and venues at this tough time. Without them the world would be a much poorer place.
