Mornings w/ Mx Darkfloor

Beginning with one of *the* bossa nova tracks by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 we went places, but seemed to orbit, quite unplanned, around a lot of 70s era music this week. In amongst it all, music from Charlie Parker, Mingus, and Gillespie, Maps, Gwenno, Led Zeppelin, XTC, The Flaming Lips, ABC, Pink Floyd, Amyl and the Sniffers, Liz Frazer's new project, Shocking Blue, and two covers of the Four Tops. Plus, Laibach covering the Sound of Music, and one of the best earworms out there.

Starting with some brand new light from the dark ambient specialists Cryo Chamber in the form of a cut from ProtoU's beautiful new album we navigate through the music of Galcher Lustwerk, Clark, Khruangbin, and Stereolab. The Norwegian pop of Pom Poko. The lighthearted warmth of Mr Scruff. And the Japanese deep house of 100% Silk's Soshi Takeda. Through the Manchurian Jazz by of Matthew Halsall and Gondwana. Germany's Jazz-o-Tech. 60s Nico. Big Mama Thornton. And, Aesop Rock.

From their forthcoming album, brand new A Place To Bury Strangers, followed by a track from one of my favourite releases of the year, from Elkhorn. To the synthwave of Sacred Skin, and the 1987 cold wave of Trisomie 21.

Rounding off the show, tracks from Suuns, Shellac, Cronies, Sofia Isella, Native Harrow, and JEFF The Brotherhood.
