Andy has 60 minutes of music for you in February, including new tunes from Sister Ray Davies, Simon Heartfield, Copenhagen's Smag På Dig Selv, TEED, GLOK & Timothy Clerkin, Berlin's Karsten Pflum, and Sweden's Aery. There are also older selections from Andy's latest belated discovery from Sweden Les Big Byrd, Killing Kind, and former session guests Before You Die….

Brevi's got some exclusive tracks for you by Annie Gardiner, Hey Colossus and Abronia who are all releasing new albums this month as well as some tracks off very recent releases by Helicon and the infamous Macc Lads! They hung out with Half Man Half Biscuit but never ‘made it', got banned so often, they resorted to gigging off the back of a truck – and that was back in the 80's so how will they be received in 2026?
Some acts seen at recent gigs playing this month also are: No Teeth, We Hate You Please Die and FAT CONCUBINE.
Since certain beings and creations in this world get (or demand) way too much of our attention, there's a peppering of several bedroom, DIY artists that deserve some on this month's show as well, including looser and Bristol's Fairhorns, plus two tracks by The Birdwachers, a prolific two piece with bags of ideas and zero fears.

After more than a year as the DJ of the Tardis, Brownbutter finally returns to Dandelion Radio with a show that's heavy on vibe (with the usual smattering of well-intentioned but careless human error) that will smooth a quarter off your clock.
No band name drops here, just put your faith in the brown buddsy as he delivers all the feels from this to that, from here to there, from then to now.

Greetings!
Krautrock is one of those terms (like shoegaze) that gets tossed around and misused, but there is no question that Günter Schickert, who recently died, was a towering figure in German progressive and experimental music. I have a great example of his genius music in this month's show.
What else? How about new stuff from Cult Objects, Full Flower Moon Band, The Baby Seals, Xiu Xiu, Drobne Niepokoje, Rehash Neu Klang, John Q Irritated, Itchy & The Nits, Earth Tongue, Hiarki, Plastique Pigs, Brenda I Funky, Institute, Maria BC, Mujeres Podridas, and Robber Robber. Plus a "hidden" track from Terveet Kadet at the very end of the show!
I try to keep my in-show talking to a minimum to make more room for music, but I do have more to discuss about what I play, so check out my companion show notes over at http://davidondandelion.blogspot.com.
Enjoy the show!

Gareth is trying to keep the Valentine's Day songs to a bare minimum for his February show, but romance is possibly still in the air with the new album from The Just Joans called 'Romantic Visions Of Scotland' (out now via Fika Recordings).
David and Katie Pope are the guest presenters for 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' in the 2nd hour of the show.
Meanwhile in the first hour, the cult Japanese singer Chiemi Eri is the featured artist for 'Secret Songs From The Sixties' and there's a bunch of instrumentals, to prove you don't need words to make interesting music. These include Barry Adamson providing the soundtrack to the 'Scala!!!' documentary and a venture into Jazz territory from They Might Be Giants.

Leo's show this month moves like a fault line: slow pressure, sudden slips, strange beauty in the breaks. It opens in a hush and a hum - Prewn's Cavity and Prolapse's Swearing For Decoration sketch a world where language frays and rhythm becomes ritual - before drifting into electronic naturalism and nocturnal pulse via Dominik Eulberg, Lord Of The Isles and Clark.
From there, the programme leans hard into voices: confrontational, devotional, folk-warped, and uncomfortably intimate. R/A/D with Brisa Roché and Don Nino bring sun-faded unease; Pain Magazine and collaborators push post-metal intensity into emotional freefall; Leila and Daniel Knox deal in menace and restraint. Traditional forms are bent and re-rooted by Elspeth Anne, Colleen, Jaydawn & Wukir Suryadi, and Lisa Knapp & Gerry Diver, where old songs carry new ghosts.
Midway, things turn raw and wired: Daniel Avery's remix work, PVA's precision pop, Ancient Hostility's blunt-force realism, and Eveline Breaker's restless structures all speak to systems under strain. There's room too for sardonic bite and ecstatic noise - Sleaford Mods, Kim Gordon, Shackleton, The Fat White Family - each refusing comfort in their own way.
The final stretch opens outward: cosmic myth from Zu, uneasy tenderness from Sault, roving melancholia, collapsing architecture via Royal Commission, and dawn-light psychedelia from Sven Wunder. We end not with resolution, but with questions hanging in the air - Krista Papista's 2 THEES closing the loop on a set that listens closely to fractures, contradictions, and the fragile hope that leaks through them.

With the world going more nuts than a squirrel's stash in a wood full of Oak trees, what music can we bring to keep us all sane???
Well, there's some jungle from Coco Bryce and Traxman is footworking like a goodun. Lefthandsoundsystem brings some minimal house and The Thermals, yes you read right, The Thermals have got back together and released their first music since 2016.
There is something mega from SAULT, off their brand new album and Ralxx.Me come at us with some ace uk garage.
If you have immersed yourself in the full three hours then don't now check the news, as in that time there has probably been fifteen headline grabbing worldwide incidents of insanity occurring ...

No new sessions or featured compilations this month - all sacrificed in order to give maximum time to the extraordinary number of new releases flooding into Whitby Towers (actually an end terrace somewhere in the north-west of England).
This includes four (count 'em) releases from the Skep Wax label plus a couple from both Half Edge and Metal Postcard, among the many to have landed in 2026 thus far, which also includes new releases from Agent Starling, Ashtech, My Life As A Moth and My Best Unbeaten Brother.
There's more from albums by Dry Cleaning and Scott McCloud, another track from that Xiu Xiu covers album, a Peel Session release from The Twinsets and, in a similar spirit, our Peel Back... feature plunders the archives to unearth tunes played by John Peel in February 1976, 1986 and 1996.

A bumper January set of releases means there's three hours in the One Big House show for February. The show features brilliant new tracks from Sleaford Mods, Chalk, Another Country $$$$, Surfbort, Prostitute and Craven Faults.
Having witnessed an outstanding gig by Dry Cleaning just prior to recording the show, their latest LP, Secret Love, purchased from them at that gig (it's the way forward), is the LP of the month.
Our optimism for the year ahead continues with brilliant tracks from upcoming album releases from Mandy, Indiana, Alice Costelloe, Lowmoon, Kim Gordonand Vona Vella
And this show continues to celebrate the first twenty years of Dandelion Radio. From 2007 and 2013 respectively there's absolute bangers from Battles and Public Service Broadcasting.

An hour from Rocker this month, including new tracks from The Lovely Basement; Nikki Nair & Foodman; Prolapse; Heavenly; The Charlie Tipper Rebellion; Railcard; and European Sun.
The show opens with a heartfelt new tune by Bruce Springsteen. There's electronica from Microtrauma and My Lo-Fi Heart; House Of All cover Cindy Lee; and there's an essential reissue from Liquids.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a blues classic from 1944, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record features a belting full-on soul classic from Little Richard, a decade after he came to prominence as a first wave rock'n'roller.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: The Guardian reported that in 2025 32 people died while in the custody of The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, known as ICE, the highest number for 20 years.

There are two shows this month.
One is a special that is looking back over the 2025 releases on Metal Postcard Records. For the other ... BOTP is back for another 3 hours of noisy stuff.
I'm never happier than when Frog Power comes out of hibernation, or whatever it is that frogs do, so what better way than to kick of the show than with some creamy tones.
Bands with great names in February's show include ... Germ Lettuce (thanks to a fellow Dandleioner), Tinkles, Happy Death Men, Bat Leather, Anytime Cowboy and not forgetting Wasted Pido.
New tunes from The Conspiracy, Helen Island, Straight Arrows & Shackleton.
We remember Bob Weir and, yes, Mr Ravenscroft regularly played the Dead back in the day on his Perfumed Garden show. Also Kenny Morris the Banshees drummer who for me was instrumental in creating a palette over their first two albums that few shall ever surpass. Not forgetting, Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin, Black Midi founder who left us aged only 26, beyond awful really.
That new Rosalía tune, as the youngsters say, is a banger. I wish all pop music were this good.
I've become somewhat obsessed this month with Abosahar from the upper Nile delta. I'm not sure what you call what he does all I know is that I'm hooked and a big thanks to the WFMU monthly newsletter for pointing me in his direction.
Thanks for listening

This month's show starts with a French incantation and ends with a woodwind collective, so who knows where it'll go in the meantime?
Well, you will, once you listen to it.
There's righteous fury from Commitment, Euniq and [artistGrove/artist], a glimpse into Peel sessions past from The Twinsets, a warm dip into Uriel's Bath (recently drawn) and the literal sound of some starlings at Heathrow airport.
Plus new gorgeousness from The Leaf Library, Waterbaby, DJ Chad and the like.

This month X-Ray Moon attempts to warm us all up with a winter programme to keep us going until Spring arrives (at least for us over here in this hemisphere)...
As usual, Mooney has an abundant selection of new tracks (and new-ish) and some older songs that need, in his opinion, a re-airing. This month he plays the likes of, for example, Go Kurosawa, Staggs, PRAY-PAX, Jad Fair and Yo La Tengo, and Mari Mathias.
Among his older choices he treats us to a bit of John Lydon, some William Burroughs, and a favourite of his, it seems, some Dadaist 'sound poetry'.
It's February, snuggle up with a brandy and hot chocolate and listen to this month's offering from X-Ray Moon.
