It's quite possible that there is no one else alive today that has been more influential to the shaping of the aesthetic choices and musical direction of women in pop music than Kate Bush. Despite the innumerable artists who have taken inspiration from her, Bush remains eternally elusive, both in her alchemical musical talent, and in her personal life. 

Given her big break by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour who produced her first demo tape, in the five decades since, Bush's trajectory has weaved through multiple landmark albums, zeitgeist-altering music videos, and nascent entirely new musical genres. But, ultimately - the only true way to understand Kate Bush is to listen to the music. 

Kate superfan Matt Tremaine handpicks 90 minutes from her catalogue, from the big pop classics, to album cuts, to rarities...

The true progenitors of the darkest art: heavy metal. Birthed in the industrial fug of 1960s Birmingham, Black Sabbath set themselves apart from other rock bands of the era, espousing occult themes in their lyrics, and playing their guitars at a menacing downtune.

Known for their boundary pushing, often challenging electronic productions, and pioneering experiential live performances, the duo of Sheffield's Mark Fell and Mat Steel deviated from their city's tradition for more straightforward bleep and techno offshoots to create sparse, minimal and repetitive competitions that favour gentle insistence over high impact.

_"we focus on leaving the audience feeling cold, not just a lack of interest in trying to engage anyone, but more like deliberately avoiding this... no dynamic changes in beats or nodding heads behind powerbooks, just large, awkward, immobile slabs of form. Imagine a Zen Buddhist with unresolved emotional issues. For me, thats how this particular "vibe" relates to minimal or formal aesthetics."_ - Mark Fell

A regular guest at Kingston's fabled Studio One in the late 1960s and 1970s, Cornel (spelled with one L, contrary to the spelling on multiple album covers) Campbell was famed for a syrupy and high vocal register. He was a member of numerous groups early in his career, most notably the rocksteady group The Uniques. 

Campbell's most notable project was his music created with producer Bunny Lee - delicate lovers rock, a style to which Campbell was innately suited.

A talent from an impossibly young age, Chicago producer and DJ Ron Trent began his musical career aged 14, the year he produced the febrile, wild Chicago anthem "Altered States". His production output has barely let up since, minting numerous labels and sublabels to release his and other's music, most notably Prescription Records, which helped define the smoky and jazz-indebted sound of deep house in the 1990s.

This In Focus is a two and a half hour dancefloor session, exploring the sounds of one of Chicago house's most enduring talents. Compiled, mixed and edited by Secretsundaze.

Who else sounds like Larry Heard? In the late 1980s, The Chicago house producer was one of the first artists – initially as a part of Fingers, Inc., and then as a solo act – to truly stamp their own unique aesthetic onto the nascent style of electronic dance music. Favouring lush instrumentation, foggy chords and dreamy melodies over the more mechanic pounding of many of his counterparts, he inspired the "deeper" sounds of the midwest's second wave, and generations of young clubbers elsewhere around the world. 

This In Focus features close to 3 hours of untouchable deep house beauty from Larry Heard - compiled, mixed and edited by [Giles Smith.](https://www.nts.live/shows/giles-smith)

Formed in 1987 while the members were attending university in Toyko, Fishmans have had a long, unpredictable trip through the music industry, and have technically never offically retired the band, despite the tragic passing of their vocalist Shinji Sato in 1999. 

Drummer Kin-Ichi Motegi keeps the spirit of Fishmans - and their legacy of seminal, inventive psychedelic rock and dream pop - alive.
