The Beatbox Saboteurs Show - January 2021
It seems Skreen has been at the sherry again, as this month's two hour show unleashes a whole plethora of wonderful oddities in the form of Northwest, Good Parley, Nhktar, Craig Scott's Lobotomy, The Newport Dolls, Jack Of None, Life As Surface Noise and Asa.
Repeat offenders include Amyl & The Sniffers, Sir Robert Orange Peel, Scenius and Analogue Electronic Whatever.
The SchytëHawkës, States Of Nature and The Grasping Straws provide noise aplenty with Inflexi0n, Sintetica Project, Octavia Freud and H-M O adding something for the electro fans.
Top tunes by Slow Walk and Polarized Eyes are lifted from the latest Thomas Imposter compilation, the Joy Of Six Volume 6.
There's much more too - and all delivered in Skreen's usual shabby chic style.

Jeff Grainger on FSK - January 2021
Jeff Grainger from DandelionRadio.com kicks off 2021 with another mixed bag of surprises. In his January two hour show there will be a preview of what musical delights the year has to offer.
Jeff will also be replaying some of his favourite tracks he's featured, over the years, during his time as a DJ at Dandelion Radio along with some hand picked selections from his record collection.
Once again thanks for tuning in to the show and Happy New Year!
Leo Gilbert - January 2021
Four hours of almost entirely up-to-the-minute music from Leo to start the year off with a bang! In what is possibly his most international show yet, he has sounds from all over the globe, with an absolute minimum of chat from Leo.
Among the artists are: Jamaica Mnanda, Sir Robert Orange Peel, Adulkt Life, Oliver Coates, William Basinski, Tiga & Hudson Mohawke, Sega Bodega & Låpsley, Mush, Dry Cleaning, Rian Treanor, Cabaret Voltaire, Mirabelle Gilis & Miossec and Marie Davidson & L'Œil Nu - and that's just the first hour! Later in the show, he has (what felt like a bit of a scoop at the time of recording) the new single from Burial, Four Tet & Thom Yorke.
If you haven't heard it yet, tune in to Leo's January show and prepare to swoon!

Mark Cunliffe - January 2021
We are kicking off a, hopefully, much better year with more new releases. The temptation was for a review of 2020 but there is too much new stuff to get out there. Maybe I'll do a separate review show if I have time.
What new releases have we in store for January? There's more Sleaford Mods with their album out this month and a track from a fabulous album by Sweeping Promises, a new band on me. There's a great minimal house track from Jonathan Kaspar and something beautiful from Guardeloupe in the form of Beliz.
There is some reggae from Tampanae and there something new from Jawbone who made a right ole impression on John Peel when he came across the one man band in the noughties.
To be honest, it's the usual wide range of stuff, if you fancy it.

Mark Cunliffe on FSK - January 2021
Mark Cunliffe hopes upon hope for gigs to start returning to our venues that are surviving the pandemic, and gigs in much greater numbers over the course of 2021.
Not knowing what the landscape will be is very strange but Mark was massively impressed by the quality of music in 2020 in the face of all the adversity and is keen to start 2021 with a positive look at what the new year might bring.

Mark Whitby - January 2021
Another excellent session from Vert:x is surely the best possible way to indicate a certain degree of optimism for the year ahead, in a musical sense at least. We also preview early 2021 releases from the likes of Digital Resistance, Chloe Juliette Beswick, Arab Strap and Thirty Pounds of Bone.
Our featured compilation is the latest 'Joy of Six' compilation from Thomas Imposter label which sees the light of day this month and, of course, we don't ignore a whole slew or great releases that came out in the later stages of 2020, including new singles from Mood Taeg, Invisible Wire and Kill The Giants.
As has become traditional, we Peel Back... to the Festive Fifty of twenty years ago and speculate, rather pointlessly, on what may have been in the chart fifty years ago, had such a thing existed.

Mark Whitby on FSK - January 2021
Join Mark Whitby as he takes us through a selection of many of his highlights of 2020 including tracks from his Dandelion Radio sessions and favourite albums of the year, plus some reasons to be mildly optimistic about 2021.
Sean Hocking - January 2021
Welcome to 2021 and another 4 hours of music from Ring Of Fire.
In this show we catch up on some of the tunes from 2020 that should have made it into the programming but unfortunately didn't. So, now it is January let's give them a little time to breathe.
Gems such as Letter Whip by Melbourne's Cong Josie, The Stress Of Leisure's "Banker On TV", "Crack The Skies of America" by the Diabolical Liberties and Johnny Go Figure's "Revolutionary Youth" just to name a few.
I don't think I have ever played a Paul McCartney solo track on this show but the time has come. Album opener, "Long Tailed Bird" on McCartney III is everything we love in a track and more, almost takes these ears back to the first time we heard the White Album.
We include a few Ring of Fire Favourites from 2020 with tracks we haven't featured by them before: Sault, The Legless Crabs, Tony Joe White, Lou Terry, The Cool Greenhouse, The Felice Brothers and of course, a new one from Sir Robert Orange Peel.
Looking forward to new music in 2021 I have a feeling it's going to be a very revolutionary year in music and am excited to be searching the vanguard to find your soundtrack for the year.
