The last show in the current series featured music from India, Bulgaria, Ivory Coast, Italy and Ethiopia. I kicked off with a song I discovered via Shazam in my local cornershop, before playing a favourite of Robert Wyatt's, an Awesome Tapes From Africa release from earlier this year, genius electronic composition by Oliver Buckland, Italian library funk, and Ethiopia's most distinctive voice. A one-off show will be broadcast on Christmas Day at 11:30pm, before I return with a new series in January.

Another episode with minimal chatter, thanks to a flu and lost voice. Still, six great tunes, starting with London experimentalist Litter Frog's 'Vampire' (catch her at Cafe OTO in February). Following that, four uninterrupted tunes back to back, from the toy music of French artist Klimperei to Ted Chippington's deadpan parody via fantastic Somalian singer Hibo Nuura and Lithunanian group Kopų Balsai. I finished the show with the full eleven minutes of Bezawork Asfaw's beautiful 'Tezeta'. Listen below, now!
