The Beatbox Saboteurs Show - June 2019
A solid two hours from us this month, we say 'hello' and 'goodbye' to the wonderful Japanese band, Astro-B, with probably their last ever single. We are really quite upset about that fact, as we became good friends with the band and their associate Lee (Thomas Imposter Records) directly after hearing them on the John Peel show all those years ago. In 2004, Skreen was actually on his way to meet Lee and the band in Tokyo when the news about John Peel's death was announced, so that bond between all parties became something even stronger.
On a slightly happier note, we have some terrific new singles to play you from Alice Hubble, Linda Guilala, Klammer and 100 Year Party Court plus new album material from Cristina Quesada, Spray, Now Zero, Submotile and Clara Engel.
Aiming to our high-brow audience, there's a slight classical feel to some of the show with tracks from Nanoviola and Mother Julian, with Cellista providing further intrigue. We treat you to another track from the mighty Necessary Animals album and we make a great new discovery in the form of South Korea's Gumiho.
There's loads more music and mayhem too, but we'll let you discover it with your own ears when you listen to the show. Enjoy!

Gareth Jones - June 2019
After a couple of months away readjusting to married life, I return to Dandelion Radio in June with 2 hours of new tunes, plus a couple of classics chosen by the French band Juniore. They join me in the second hour of the show for a chat and to select four of their favourite records in a new feature called 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' (you can tell I've recently got married, can't you?!). Plus we've more French grooviness from Les Bof!.
But it's not just France we focus on. Unlike Lisa Stansfield, I've been around the world and I've found plenty of musical babies. This month we also cover Australia with punk-rock from The Chats, Turtle Bay Television and Constant Mongrel. From Spain there's electro-pop by Cristina Quesada, from the Netherlands there's Garage-Rock by The Heck and from Russia there's a Surf guitar take on the Twin Peaks Theme courtesy of Messer Chups. Oh, and please wash your hands before listening to the show, because there's a new track by the London-residing Canadian band Hygiene.
C'est bon? Oui, oui!

Leo Gilbert - June 2019
A massive musical month, June, for me. My show has a towering 49 tunes from 40 different artists on 37 different labels, (possibly) drawn from half the globe. Holly Herndon has two, as do Maenad Veyl and Odd Nosdam, while Shlohmo, Lowly (their album Hifalutin in my favourite of the year so far) and Lakker have three apiece.
A bewildering number of outstanding albums and individual tracks have been released over the past few months, and they jostle for a place in my show, with most of them artists who are new to me (and to you?): Charlotte Adigéry, Crack Cloud, Curses, Did Virgo, Enea Pascal, Grebenstein & Seefried, Just Mustard, kandodo3, Mall Grab + Nite Fleit... I could go on.
Huge, as I say, and a real privilege for me to be able to share them with you. Why not buy every single one?
Also - listen out for my other show - billed as a "Ceaseless Salmagundi" ...

Leo's Ceaseless Salmagundi - June 2019
I have been listening to so much new music over the past couple of months and am pathetic when it comes to saying no to a good tune that I was faced with something like nine hours' worth of show to put together, following my absence last month. A solution did find itself: some painful trimming and a kind of instinctive realisation that many of the tunes just had to go together without any interruption from me. So I created two shows for June, and here is one of them.
Some might use the word "ambient" to label what it is that the tunes in my June "special" show have in common. I wouldn't, but neither would I say they are the most raucous of songs. In fact, there is hardly any singing going on at all. First up is the wonderful Semi Precious, followed by a 2017 tune from Caterina Barbieri, the only track from outside 2019. Mondkopf features twice, as does Craig Leon and I have another song from the outstanding Efdemin album that dominated my previous show. Godspeed's Efrim Manuel Menuck contributes another track from his brand new album and Underworld's astonishing rebirth is given a full 15 minutes of my airtime.
There are also excellent tunes from Brandt Brauer Frick, Earth Trax & Newborn Jr, Kayla Painter and Nui Blanc, who might be household names in your, erm, household, but were new to me this year. So, please do enjoy listening in to my June special, which, you will be delighted to be reminded, features almost no talking from me.

Mark Cunliffe - June 2019
Ok, so I did say last month's three hour show was a one off 'cos I missed April ... well ... make it a two off, maybe, cos this months is three hours too. You will be pleased to know that I am generally very busy in life so I'm not sure the increase to three hours will be sustained :-)
So, this month, there are two featured albums from a real favourite and three time session guest on the show, Haiku Salut and by a new artist to me, Mereba. Mari Dangerfield is back with some stylophone goodness and Popcaan tells us how he is after the murder of one of his closest friends.
Durrty Goodz makes an appearance as Durrty Goodz but also as OG Rootz which is a bonus. Fokn Bois come at us with some happy vibes and Prince Fatty has employed Earl 16 on one of his tracks with great success.

Mark Whitby - June 2019
Two hours of your valuable time this month gets you an exclusive debut session from Snakeskin Shoe Review, a featured compilation offering highlights from the eighties Fashion label and a whole load of new releases from the likes of Alice Hubble, Dog Daisies and Quiet Marauder plus, sadly, a farewell single from the wonderful Astro-B.
If that reminds us that great music can often be a transient, temporary affair, there are others who triumphantly assert its longevity. Thus, something from the new Membranes album, a new Peter Perrett single and another offering from the Neville Staple Band rub shoulders with some stunning reissues, including another very welcome Crass re-release and something from the Mad Dragon retrospective of the Nat Turner Rebellion.
There's also another smattering of dungeon rap, a great collaboration between Transmission 13 and Diane Marie Kloba and, predictably, the new single from Idles.
