The Beatbox Saboteurs Show - July 2019
July marks the 50th Anniversary of the moon landings and we have put together a special show that will surely eclipse anything else out there on the airwaves. As usual we have an astronomical number of fresh tracks - including, Polarized Eyes, easily the youngest band we've ever featured. To balance that, we have a track from The Membranes new album, along with an apt track from our very own TV Themes album.
New acts include The Rope, Bvrth, Bollard, Kempt, The Gloomy Killers Club, No Exits, Ipkiss and Skethcy Lines. Loads more too!
As promised, there's another wonder from Cellista's intriguing 'Transfigurations' album and our dear, slightly over-dramatic friends, Spray, pop in to drop (that's what the kids say now, isn't it?) a stripped-down version of a tune from their new masterwork.
Expect lunacy, great tracks and two DJs steering everything into a massive black hole.

Gareth Jones - July 2019
Here at Dandelion Radio we've gone a bit 1969 crazy this month. Pete has devoted a whole show to it and The Beatbox Saboteurs are here to prove that Jonathan King was right - everyone's gone to the moon. So I'm joining the moon landing anniversary celebrations too, by playing you a dub reggae version of the Star Trek theme and an electro cover of 'Fly Me To The Moon' by Analogue Electronic Whatever.  Plus there's a surprise sci-fi ending to the show courtesy of a man with a papier-mâché head. You know there is, there really is.
This month I also bring you a Cumbia cover version of Snap's 'Rhythm Is A Dancer' by Mo'Horizons and a surf guitar take on the Game Of Thrones theme tune courtesy of Los Straightjackets. But don't worry, it's not all crazy cover versions. There's plenty of new releases too, including Japan's Shonen Knife who return with their 19th - that's right, 19th! - album!
The ever wonderful Upset The Rhythm label give us three releases courtesy of Trash Kit, Bamboo and Normil Hawaiians. And new electro comes from an artist normally known for making Baroque/Chamber Pop, as The Divine Comedy goes synth! And 'Secrets Songs from the Sixties' returns, inviting you to 'Shang A Doo Lang' and do the 'Wombat Twist'.

Leo Gilbert - July 2019
My July show is perhaps the most up-to-date collection of tunes I have ever put together for broadcast. Most were released in May or June of this year, and a couple had not been officially released at the time of recording the show. Girl Band's new tune - a taster of the upcoming album "The Talkies" - is tucked away in the second half of the show, and two surprise new offerings from the unique artist Burial - one as musician, one as mixer - arrived while I was compiling my tracklist, so all had to squeeze their ways in. Kicking off the merriment is a barnstorming offering from Mythologen, and he pops up towards the end with another. Two songs also feature from Unloved, Ellis May, Surfbort, Radioactive Man and Deli Girls (not performing together - now that would be a treat), and three from Paula Temple.
Most of the above are brand new to me, so, if they are to you, too, why not join me in falling in love with them?
A couple of bands whose work I cannot resist also stake their claims to a place in proceedings: the reborn Underworld, Modeselektor, the wonderful Sufjan Stevens, Efrim Manuel Menuck and an oldish (2017) tune from Hans Zimmer. They sit alongside a smorgasbord of other bands whose work I was previously unacquainted with: Eleanor Friedberger, JOHN (TIMESTWO), Antwood, Wired Sessions, Constant Mongrel and Elvin Brandhi.
Too much to resist, so why try? Just tune that dial Dandelion's way and have an aural feast.

Mark Cunliffe - July 2019
Life is too busy to sustain regular 3 hour shows. Even so, there is no let up in the quality of music in 2019.
Slick Shoota has a collection of old but new tunes and HEHFU are back with a new release. As are Christian Fitness, Future Of The Left Falco's almost solo project.
Mr Mitch is keeping the quality typically high and Lady Lykes has something out for the first time since, seemingly, the stone age. Tiken Jah Fakoly is doing he stuff with a new album and an old favourite The Intelligence and back with their usual quality.

And from the world where guitars don't roam we have songs from Alice Hubble, Rerekat, Ekoplekz, Sole Voyager and Owly Beats.
Also bringing a new feature, Shop Corner, where I spin a couple of songs from records that have come in to my 2nd hand record shop here in Cardiff - this month featuring The Wailing Wailers and The DC10s!
