On my show this month:
Two hours from Rocker this month, featuring new tracks from Yeah Yeah Noh ; Pocket ; The Drain On The Balcony ; The Nightingales ; The Spook School ; Sissy Space Echo And The Invisible Collaborators ; British Birds ; Neil Young And The Chrome Hearts; The Lovely Basement ; Loose Lips; Gimic ; and Davey Woodward .
There's electronica from Max Cooper & Rival Consoles ; B_Man; and Vaert. There are three new releases from Kent's Spinout Nuggets label - some Hammond organ rhythm'n'blues from Bongolian frontman Nasser Bouzida ; a rocking new single from 90s 'New Wave Of New Wave' band Spitfire, and a searing demo version of a classic from indiepop supergroup Jetstream Pony .
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a 1948 release which features some pertinent advice from Betty Thornton, while this month's educating Elizabeth record is a new 7" from the latest incarnation of an enduring LA soul music dynasty.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Davey Woodward's track 'Welcome Here' is a very apposite track from a Bristolian. Bristol is proud to have been an accredited city of sanctuary since 2011; welcoming refugees, asylum seekers, and others affected by forced migration.

Biography:
I am proud to be a DJ for dandelionradio.com - as far as we know we are the only radio station inspired by John Peel - I was a Peel listener from 1976 to 2004 and it was his open minded attutude to different genres that has shaped my own tastes. It is a great buzz to be carrying on the great man's work and bringing previously unknown artists to the attention of our listeners.
As well as my radio DJing I have been known to drag my crates around the UK - I currently hold DJ residencies at monthly indiepop nights Sunny Inside Presents in Stoke-on-Trent and Big Pink Cake in Bristol, as well as co-promoting and DJing at Bristol's monthly vinyl-only Northern Soul night, Getting Together. I have also appeared as guest DJ at some of London's finest indie nights: Twee As Fuck; How Does It Feel To Be Loved; Lost Music Presents; and Scared To Dance.
I run eclectic CD-R label Local Underground, and am promoter and resident DJ for related gigs & events as Local Underground Presents. I also play out a progressive house set as B_Man - you can download some old mixes here. In the Bristol, UK area I have DJd for Manna parties as well as Empathy, and Voodoo nights. My ambient / chillout / dub reggae / punk / soundtracks / psychedelia sets are also much in demand in certain (crop) circles. Over the years I have also been known to play keyboards / drums in various ensembles. I record most of the bands' sessions for my show in my recording studio, StAR Studios, which, like me, has a busy schedule!
You can find me on MySpace here, and on Facebook here!
