A rollicking hour of experimental music action on this week’s Independent Music Podcast, where an intro of colourful, DIY, Japanese ambient-pop lulls you into a false sense of security as ferocious tracks from Guinea-Bissau, South Africa, and the inimitable Godflesh punctuate throughout.
But there’s subtlety amongst the power, with a roots-flavoured new one from Mungo’s Hi Fi, a stunning track of the year contender from China’s Yikii, and a beautiful solo record from Throwing Muses’ Kristin Hersh.

We also have a cracking new one from Nihiloxica member pq, whose new record on Lapsus takes you on a journey between club workouts and contemplative electronic music.
In addition, we have the new one from Szun Waves, the phenomenal OST from violinist Galya Bisengalieva, motivational doom music, and much more.

You’ll need a deep breath before recalling the artist ‘England’s Council of Legislation and Governing Body of Hyper Real Simulations and Constructs’ – without doubt the longest artist name in 413 episodes of this podcast, before acid synths take the patrons home.

Big BIG BIG sounds on this week’s Independent Music Podcast. A generally iffy week personally means that beers have been drunk and the music is beyond reproach.
Metronomic krautrock feeds to immense synth dungeon dance floor sounds, grime from living legend Manga Saint Hilare, and uncategorisable music from Ziúr on Uganda’s Hakuna Kulala label.
Beyond that, deep house, Japanese footwork, Russian anti-war folk songs, and a triumphant return for the superb Selvhenter showcase the very best in global experimental sounds.

What a selection this is! We’re always happy with the selection of music we bring to each and every Independent Music Podcast, but there is something truly magical about this combination of tracks.
There’s a whole lot of maximalism in small packages, from the very first track we have heavy jazz skronk combining with ferocious ‘punch a hole in your soul’ drumming of Australian duo Party Dozen. We follow that with the latest dance floor-friendly industrial body music of Barcelona duo Dame Area, whose Ondas Tribales record on Mannequin was one of our favourites of last year, and the follow-up is equally wonderful.
Elsewhere we’ve got an introduction to Venezuela synthesiser pioneer Oksana Linde, and a more contemporary female footwork pioneer Jana Rush. We have Indonesian disco from Midnight Runners, a This is the Kit cover of Rachael Dadd, and so much more.

London label Mais Um’s ear for extraordinary music from Brazil continues unabated with the exceptional track that opens this week’s Independent Music Podcast. The music of Juçara Marçal is relatively new to us, but the first few bars of her astonishing track ‘Crash’ sink their hooks into you very quickly. It’s a stunning way to get going.
What follows is an otherworldly journey through genres, with a little more guitar than usual this time around. We have the debut EP from Irish indie punks M(h)aol, experimental trombone folk from Yorkshire’s Sophie Cooper, dub techno workouts from Autumns just to name a few.
We also have the blistering collaboration between Sepultura co-founder Iggor Cavalera, Venezuelan electronic producer Cardopusher, and Dwid Hellion, founder of early hardcore trailblazers Integrity, coming together as Corroded Spiral on pod favourites Phantom Limb.
If that’s not enough. We throw in some Greek electronics, modern classical, Polish punk, and a little bit more for good measure.

We keep reading about the new Blawan release “shedding the ‘techno’ box he has so often been put in” but his new, exceptional record on XL shows us a consistently innovative artist continuing a journey we’ve enjoyed since ‘Getting Me Down’ back in 2011. It’s a must-listen and a probably must-buy for those who like your electronics a little off-kilter.
But that’s a common reason for listening to this pod, as is the consistently extraordinary dark music from across the genres. This week we have the latest in a rapid-fire release schedule of dark ambient music being put out by Leeds’ Hawthonn, we have tasty experimental metal from EXSUL, a remarkable traditional dance/distinctly non-traditional record from Indonesian duo Raja Kirik to fall in love with.
The best psych rock of the year (as far as we’ve heard) from The Oscillation, jungle-cum-ragga from Seekersinternational, synth pop from The Organizing Committee, and an afro-caribbean-fused club banger from newcomer Obeka are just some of the delights to get stuck into this week.

There’s nothing that’ll kickstart your body quite like a funky slice of Algerian-born Amazigh music. The lead track from Habibi Funk’s Majid Soula compilation is a real hip-shaker, and just the tonic for whatever ales you this week.
There’s a lot more than that to get stuck into as well – from clattering percussive electronics from the new Jerusalem in My Heart LP, to exceptional experimental folk from Maria Elena Silva, via boogielicious reggae thanks to Kalita Records raiding the expensive section of your long-lost music store.
Elsewhere, we never tire of celebrating the new Aya record on Hyperdub – a truly forward-looking masterpiece – nor the extent of sounds that Mario Batkovic can squeeze out of an accordion. On this track he’s collaborating with James Holden, and the results are fantastic.
And that’s not all: jazz, Indian classical fused with industrial sounds, the latest wonderful record from Shackleton, and the ambient atmospheric sounds of Christina Vantzou make this week’s show a pleasure from start to finish.

Even though we sit here having played music from 390 releases this year, we feel a bit uneasy producing a ‘best of’ 2018 when there’s still so much great music we haven’t heard.

If you had access to 39 gigantic bells and wanted to make an exotica record, how would it sound? If you wanted to make an orchestral opus and only had access to synths, how would that sound? Some answers may be enclosed in this week's podcast.
As well as experimentation with massive bells, we have more modestly produced music that is no less extraordinary.

It's an emotional start to this week's podcast with the final recording of podcast mainstays Tomaga. It is - as with all the music Tom and Valentina made together - absolutely stunning and it's heartbreaking no more is forthcoming.
More positively, we have a great batch of other sounds to accompany it, not least the ferocious Bugandan drumming of the Nilotika Drum Ensemble or the more experimental percussion of Poland's Arszyn.

Our final 'regular' show before January sees little let-up in the excellent music being produced through this mess of a year. Whether it's the spine-tingling multi-national vocals of Chant Electronique or the psychedelic fuzz of Japanese legends Mainliner, there's a lot of the good stuff in this hour-long pod.
Elsewhere, live podcast regulars will be happy with two horse-related tracks from wildly different spectrums: former A Hawk and A Hacksaw violinist Heather Trosts new one is mesmerising avant-folk, whilst Giant Swan provide a blistering finale.

Last week Loud and Quiet published a statement illustrating the struggles they were having to survive due to the Coronavirus crisis and the impact on advertising.
Loud and Quiet is a 15-year-old staple of the alternative, independent music scene in the UK, and to lose it would be an awful thing.
In this extra podcast, Gareth discusses the issues with founder and editor Stu Stubbs. They talk about troubles in publishing generally and what the future could look like.

In these strange times, this may be the last 'proper' new podcast for some time. We will keep the feed awash with great music, but we're not 100% sure whether we'll be able to record new shows in the manner you've come accustomed to.
Despite the uncertainty, there's still a whole lot of new exciting music out there, and - as usual - that's what we want to focus on. Whether it's Uruguayan garage, Italian dub techno, or Glaswegian DIY non-jazz, we've got the good stuff for you.
If you can, please support bands, artists, record labels, promoters, and venues at this tough time. Without them the world would be a much poorer place.

This first one gets us going with the blistering track from Sophie's phenomenal Oil of Every Pearl's Uninsides LP on Transgressive. Across the first ten tracks we take in a third play from the 700 Bliss cassette, Anna von Hausswolff's sublime LP, middle eastern techno, Kenya glitches, a track from a ballet and a lot more.
