A Christmas assortment of our DJs count down through the best 50 tracks from 2024 based on your votes - continuing the John Peel tradition.
You can hear the full results of this classic poll repeating from Christmas Day and into January, finishing off with Mark Whitby revealing this year's winner!
We repeat it to give everyone a chance to listen in - therefore many people will be listening long after others so please keep the results to yourself for a while.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Join Dandelion Radio in January 2025 for a 2 hour review of the past year.
Join Gareth Jones, Rocker, David Smith, Andrew Morrison and Leo Gilbert as they play some of their favourites from last year.
Tune in, enjoy and let us know what you think.

As is Andy's regular New Year's tradition, his January show has a selection of his favourite tracks from the previous year. You'll hear 2024 gems from MGMT, Sjöblom, GLOK & Timothy Clerkin, Lambrini Girls, Alan Sparhawk, Epic45, Arab Strap, Deary, Ride, Kelly Lee Owens, Honesty, A Certain Ratio, and many more. It's not all repeat plays though - 10 of the 25 tracks in the two-hour show are ones that Andy hasn't previously played in his shows.

Andy also features in two co-hosted shows in this month's schedule: the official 2024 Festive Fifty listeners' poll results countdown; and January's '2024 Review' show, picking some more of his favourites from last year alongside his fellow DJs. See the schedule on the website for streaming broadcast times, or listen on demand at mixcloud.com/dandelionradio.

Greetings! I decided against my own review show this January, as there is so much new and recent stuff I want to play, including tracks from Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, The Green Telescope, American Motors, Carpet Burn, Salin, Zorn, Saint Sappho, Corker, Kiratxa, and Société Étrange.
Enjoy the show!

It's a no frills short 1 hour show from Gareth in January, but packed with recent releases covering Indie, Punk, Country, Funk 'n' Soul and Electro.
There are also several cover versions including a re-working of 80's classic 'The Safety Dance' which now offers some valuable fire safety advice, plus Independent Country turn a Wet Leg song into a Country classic and Super Cocos play a George Michael hit in a Surf Guitar style.

It's a New Year, so why not make a resolution to listen to Leo's show every month on Dandelion Radio?
His January offering brings you four hours of tunes from every corner of our globe, including Gnonnas Pedro & His Dadjes Band from Benin, Dijit from Egypt, sandy chamoun, Anthony Sahyoun & Jad Atoui from Lebanon, Simi Fyda from Poland, Alva Noto from Germany and De Kift from Holland.
He also has new tunes from Blanck Mass, Sarah Mary Chadwick and untitled (halo), as well as a previously unreleased track from Daniel Johnston and two tracks from a compilation of previously vinyl-only tunes by Aphex Twin.
Here's to a harmonious 2025!

A new year inevitably brings with it a whole bunch of interesting new releases and 2025 is no exception. We've got tracks from new albums by Mogwai, Lambrini Girls, Horsegirl and Sam Amidon, along with recent releases from the likes of Dreadzone. Neon Kittens and The Weak & The Strong, among others.
We've also got two featured compilations, one an era-spanning collection from the New Weird Australia project, plus another fascinating Cherry Red Box Set.
Naturally, the month of the Festive Fifty broadcast means our Peel Back... feature again has a FF theme to it and there are also retrospective highlights from new compilations of Gnonnas Pedro, Johnny Bond and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

A two hour from Rocker this month, featuring new tracks from Surfing Pointers; Young Scum; Swansea Sound; Mt Misery; Sissy Space Echo & The Invisible Collaborators; The Reds, Pinks & Purples; and Holy Vision.
There's new electronica from Johannes Klingebiel; Extrawelt; James Harcourt; and Vintage Culture remixed by Solomun. There are tracks from essential reissue compilations from Bristol's The Blue Aeroplanes, and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.
There's a track from the forthcoming album by Da Googie and Cara Tivy - featuring Deb Googe of My Bloody Valentine; and a track from a new album from Snowgoose - A Scottish indie supergroup featuring contributions from members of The Soup Dragons, Teenage Fanclub, Belle & Sebastian, BMX Bandits & Arab Strap.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a seasonal 1934 release from a Canadian-born crooner, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is a new record from Hamburg's The Winston Brothers.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Leon Dinero's single One Way Love, on Daptone, is a reggae version of an R'n'B song originally by James Hunter, which originally came out in 2013 on - you guessed it - Daptone Records.

It's another year and lots and lots of new music in our first show of 2025.
Three hours of mostly brand new releases, including Denver's wonderful Dead Pioneers who I gather are touring the UK and Europe in May & June. Lots of new Metal Postcard releases from the usual suspects, Salem Trials, Neon Kittens, Legless Crabs, The Postmen and somebody who used to be on the label, Matthew Edwards, who just released his latest album. Apparently it's his last, but then again I don't believe that as he always says that!
Other bands with great names on the show are Pit Scum, Poo Poo Talks and Station Model Violence.
Oldies come to you care of Hank Mizell, Gee Tee doing a great cover of the Buzzcocks' Boredom, Kim Fowley giving you a pre-sonic youth, “Bubblegum” and Gerry & The Holograms from 1979.
Discoveries of the month for me are Belgian/Cantonese artist Bolis Pupul and producer Posthuman who I discover as been around for eons but I only came across work this past month.
Death is Not the End records released in early December two great comps of Ghanian Blues and early Highlife (find on Bandcamp). I only had time to include one tune but you will be hearing more this year. Wonderful music, wonderful comps.

X-Ray Moon wishes everyone a happy, peaceful, healthy and surrealist 2025.
Moon hits the ground running for his first show of the year... if possibly running on his knees backwards. A tumultuously splendiferous blend of old and (mainly) new tracks are presented to us to ease us gently into the shock of the post holiday period.
He offers us a couple of Puddy tracks, one old one new; a new track from an album that Moony has just purchased by the Shop Regulars; Tommy And The Teleboys from Germany are on tour at the moment in Germany, and, Moon believes, should be seen by anyone who happens to be over in that part of the world.
Nicole Hale's beautiful music and voice eases us towards the latter part of the show along with the following track that is haunting and intriguing in equal measures, by Advance Base...
With lots of other surprises, X-Ray Moon wishes everyone all the happiest of Dandelions for 2025, and hopes everyone enjoys the show.
