Kicking off this week with the title track from the interesting new Laroca album, they are still not the finished item but are bursting with ideas and heading most definitely in the right direction. This was closely followed by another track from the excellent new Quantic album which is, without doubt his finest work to-date, let's hope he stays in Colombia it's doing his music no end of good. Little brother of J.Dilla, Illa J gets his new single, laughably called a remix, but in fact completely re-invented by Carlos Nino and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, although the original is a solid slice of nu-soul. BlackJoy comes correct with his take on Cosmic Disco using the quirky French vocals of Sandra Nkake, a future Balearic classic if there is any justice.

Stevie J comes up with a post broken/Dilla hybrid for 2009 proving sometimes less is more for the ever interesting Eglo Records and Phreek Plus One drop a slice of classic instrumental disco, loving those spacey keys. Pepe Bradock rips apart the mellow vocals of Zero 7 whilst retaining the soul and upping the tempo to deliver a broken house goodie and I finally drop an AtJazz track from his album and can only apologise for the delay in doing so. I am glad to report that my favourite Afro house don, Issa Bagayogo, had just got the remix treatment for several of his recent album tracks and here I present the epic and rather good Soft Rocks remix of Filaw.

Rob Tex comes up with one of the party hip hop tunes of the summer if there is any justice with his jazzy and cheeky rework of Method Man and Redman, bootlegs are rarely so good. Ouch - check the new Reso releases, essential for anyone with an interest in bass bin destroying interesting new direction in dubstep, an artist to watch for sure. In a perfect example of art responding to life comes Inja's (and in fact most of the UK's urban youths) response to the CCTV proliferation in the UK, just "wear your hat LOW, hat LOW, hat LOW", BIG tune for the summer. Mark Pritchard, always one to watch has just created a twisted dubstep monster with a little help from Om'mas Keith from Sa-Ra, who seems to be cropping up everywhere at the moment, a mad, twisted, quirky, fun floorfiller, I like it loads. Pearson Sound, a little side project of prolific and ever reliable Ramadanman, closes the show and again is a dubstep mutation this time showcasing a deeper, melodic approach to the genre and is a suitably cosmic dub ending to this weeks show.

So the Sonar festival madness has ended, big ups to Mulatu Astake and The Heliocentrics who rocked the house despite bad sound problems - shame on you Sonar, it really was awful. Konono No 1 smashed it big style and got everyone in the hall dancing and trying their best to bust some African style moves - not a pretty site but the energy was great! Debruit did himself loads of favours by delivering a killer set of wonk funk and Bullion dropped a wonderfully eclectic dj set of future beats mixed with classic soul, jazz, latin and disco obscurities, too slow for most but it got my groove on. Respect also goes to Culoe de Song for getting me and most of the rest of the crowd into a deep pure afro house trance proving you don't need to be a headbanging 128bpm+ house mentalist to get the crowd going, it's all about the groove people not the BPMs!

So to the show. Rainer Trueby is back from his post nu-jazz obscurity with a couple of wonderful house chuggers on Compost produced with Danilo from Motor City Drum Ensemble - deep, deep. The Belletunes come through with some nice retro funky newness and I drop more soulful lovelisness from the eagerly anticipated Sa Ra debut lp. Debruit is sounding like he's really coming of age with his new material which you can expect soon on the great Civil Music who are also responsible for the future beats of the hotly tipped Reso who is mashing up the dubstep dance in his own fresh sounding way. The Jega album coming on Planet Mu is sounding hot and the new Quantic And His Combo Barbaro album is by far his most accomplished effort yet and I look forward to more musical adventures utilising his new South American musical friends.

The Cha Cha Shaw album re-issue on Kindred Spirits captures this old school twisted jazzer at his quirky funky best and the decision not to re-master this poorly recorded live album adds an interesting authenticity and aged charm to the re-issue. I had to finish with a little house trio, kicking off with the stellar PanOptikum remix of the little known Arabic artist Sheharzad - Detroit meets the Ayatollah. More Pepe Bradock appears courtesy of the essential new Pepe Bradock compilation on BBE and Noze provide a Ethiopian jazz/Minimal soundclash where the only winner is fresh new music for 2009.

Love them or hate them, mash ups and re-edits on bootleg vinyl or free download are here to stay and I kick off the show with one of the better reggae ones courtesy of the excellent Heatwave crew from the UK, cheers boys, BIG tune. Build An Ark are back and keeping it deep and uncompromising in today's increasingly disposable music world. Sounds dodgy but it works - West Papuan tribal sounds meet dubstep with Inkling's remix of The Lani Singers and Sa Ra are back with their most accessible music to date, their album is about to drop and will be one of my summer albums for sure, oozing soul, quality beats and production.

Funky DL has got together a collection of amazing UK lyrical talent on his latest track for BBE, quite an achievment to get that many stars in the same room and rising star The Clonious, only 23 and from Vienna, gives us a taste of his forthcoming album - watch out for him. You are never far away from some classic disco re-edits these days, most of them rubbish or just plain unnecessary but I dropped a couple of the better ones with the fantastic Greymatter rework of the Brit funk classic Dancing In Outer Space and a teasing rework of the soul boy classic Georgie Porgy. Show-B has crafted a MASSIVE house tune for the summer and Roy Davis Jr comes through with some deep, classic Chicago vibes from his new lp.

If you are coming to Barcelona next week for Sonar then be sure to check out the Brainfeeder Records party on Thursday night hosted by the Plat Du Jour crew in a nice space overlooking the port. Flying Lotus and an amazing line up of guests are in the house and to be honest I'm more excited about this party than Sonar!!

Kicked off the show with another play of the great forthcoming King Midas Sound cut, excellent new dub adventures - I like their style, leading not following. Discovery of the weeks is Paradise Found, lovely new folktronica on the quirky and diverse Dancing Turtle records. This took me nicely into a couple of Pepe Bradock remixes which are part of a great compilation of the mans work which is about to drop on BBE. If you don't know him he's one of the few house producers with a really distinctive sound and is and was way ahead of his time, even his old stuff is sounding like music from next year - a criminally underrated production legend, just buy the compilation and pay your respects.

Rising UK R&B star Cherri V comes through with an Amerie style party winner and there is some great new hip hop from Funky DL (in a Bugsy Malone style!) and New Jack Hustle - Tres Records coming up trumps again. As if there weren't enough already the Finnish produce another great jazz group on the wonderful Ricky Tick label - watch out for new kid on the block, Dalindeo.

I dropped a little latin fusion trio kicking off with the great Angolan Salsa flavour of Carlitos Vieira Dias. Good to see Jazz and Milk back with the latest installment of their Jazz and Milk breaks series and I'm liking Cesars Salad's version of Manteca a lot before I finished off my Latin trio with a a great tune from the impeccable Pacifico Colombiano compilation from Otrabanda, undoubtedly one of my favourtite compilations from the past few years and right up there with the Soundway releases.

Just to really mix things up I finished with a bit of flavour from the Indian sub-continent. Punjabi dons Tigerstyle produce another winner this time with the new Yugraj track and Heavenly Sweetness take a break from the leftfield jazz world to release young Nepalese flute prodigy Sunil Dev Shrestra - horizontal and enlightening in equal measures.

Kicked off the show this week with some of the better recent experiments in global music. One of the heirs to Tito Puentes percussion crown, Luisito Quintero, drop his inspired version of the Ray Barreto classic, Acid. French dj and producer DJ Click gives Manu Chao's mestizo sounds a credible electronic edge, Ocote Soul Sounds take their dark, dubby, tropical vibe into Fela inspired African territory and Haaksman and Haaksman give the rumba sounds of Papawa a fierce breakbeat rerub.

Sbtrkt drops a great wonky tech house track, he's on the up for 2009, look out for him. Avant-Garde sounds come courtesty of Some Freak, Andreya Triana & Ritornell and their new track The Light, whilst beat box don DJ Scratch combines interestingly with one of my favourite leftfield producers Elmore Judd on one of the tracks from his latest album. Delicate, beautiful, shoegazing electronic pop comes courtesy of Franklin.

UK trumpet don Abram Wilson composes a great jazz tribute to Barack Obama and Floating Points is on a roll at the moment with another killer single about to drop, this time on Eglo - great new lazy cosmic vibes. Dam-Funk continues his quest for global synth funk domination and UK beat maker du jour Paul White is just about to release his new album on the ever reliable One Handed Music so I drop a little 3 track sample of the beat tape musical wonders to come and then remind you how good new BBE signing Phantogram are - look out for their album later in the year.

Kicking off with a long overdue cut from Mocky's outstanding new album Saskamodie, a truly crafted album full of old school musical flavour but sounding fresh for 2009 and a rare album that both your mates and your mum will like. David Baxter drops more of his unique take on future funk and the b-side Ost & Kjex rmx of German jazz maverick Wigald Boning is a deep glitchy house classic. It took me a while to check it (I blame living in Spain!) but I'm loving the Afrocentric Donaeo UK Funky track and Busy Signal comes up with a wicked Afro vibe on his latest dancehall banger.

The last year has seen the Colombian Cumbia rhythm infiltrating music styles worldwide and I had to drop the deep Moonrra track from chief Cumbia hype-monger Russ Jone's great 'Arriba La Cumbia' compilation. Paten Locke is dropping his album in the summer and from the little sampler I received it's sounding great - some great jazzy breaks and quality lyrics and Notes To Self come through with another solid slice of hip hop due out on BBE soon. The wonderfully titles PANTyYRAID drop a future bassline Balearic classic and I drop the Yoggyone track that I meant to play two weeks ago (but by mistake I played another one oops. Live one take radio - love it!). I finished the show with a couple of tracks from the new Tru-Thoughts, Shapes compilation due out anytime - check the wonderfully lush Charles Stepney inspired 'Arianita' from Quantic.

Too much good music and not enough time - help!! Started off the show on a mellow tip with some new artists and fresh musical adventures. Beautiful music from Susumu Yokota (minus the vocal - sorry Susumu!) on the ever interesting Lo Recordings before heading into some of today's freshest beatmakers, James Blake (BIG prospect), Subeena (HOT prospect) and Dorian Concept. Some great dubby Brasilian flavour followed courtesy of Ceu with her sweet vocals and the ever reliable Digitaldubs - look out for these Brasilian rude boys touring Europe over the summer. I had to drop a track from the excellent compilation 'Vocals and Versions Vol. 1" on Senseless Records, two cds of killer modern dubstep flavour with a great array of vocalists - check it! I had another little disco moment as well with Aurra's, Such A Feeling from the now released Nightdubbin album on BBE followed by a fresh nu-disco offering from the ever reliable Aniligital Records and the even more reliable Kinnego Flux with a brand new killer from them, they seem to be going from strength to strength, make sure you keep your eyes on them. The new Shapes comp on Tru-Thoughts is about to drop and is sounding great and the new King Midas Sound on Hyperdub is just next level dub flavour - these boys are musical shepherds, not sheep. To finish the show I finally fitted in an All City release, this one from Dimlite - a true bonkers madathon end to the show.

A few Global SoulJah recent favourites rear their heads once again on this weeks show. Sub Swara have dropped some remixes of their outstanding album from last year, Coup D`Yah, one of my favourite dubstep albums todate. I had to play another Enemy Earth track - if you like beats deep, interstellar and hazy then he's your man. Finally I played a Mrs. Jinx track from her new album of mellow electronica - one for your lazier moments. ESL have got some great new albums in the pipeline and I'm overjoyed at the prospect of more slow dubby tropical goodness courtesy of Ocote Soul Sounds and Adrian Quesada. Staff Benda Bilili's, Je T'Aime is still bringing me close to tears whilst making me dance every time I hear it and Arcadion's, Fly Vision is undoubtedly one of the nu-disco tracks of the year. You heard both Kotchy and Phantogram last week and the albums are so good you're gettng more this week, two albums where the mish mash of many styles come together to create great wholes. Kinnego Flux have blessed me with an advance listen of their album and I'm over the moon, Herbie Hancock in his funk heyday meets the Northern Irish IDM/dubstep generation. To finish some great new house music from D Stephanie, Detroit inspired broken house music with a killer African vocal, look out for it on the new Broadcite compilation.

Welcome once again to another show. I finally got my hands on the amazing new Benda Bilili album and had to kick off the show with the soulful, heart wrenching James Brown inspired 'Je Taime'. If you haven't heard of this outfit then they are a group of paraplegic street musicians and friends who live in and around the grounds of the zoo in Kinshasa, Congo - just because they can't use their legs doesn't mean they can't play - amazing stuff, just check the You tube link below.

The sounds of nu-jazz and broken beat rear their head this week, a rare appearance since their rapid demise a couple of years ago - David Borsu comes through with a wicked jazzy house number from the forthcoming Broadcite compilation and I also played a track from the one and only Domu's new compilation of remixes and rarities due soon on Tru-Thoughts. Mayer Hawthorne has a voice to die for, if you don't believe me just have a listen to 'Maybe So, Maybe No' - real soul music.

The rest of the show is spent showcasing where music is at and heading in 2009. Had to drop another Filaria track - the Kinnego boys are some of favourites of the new dubstep generation, FaltyDL is making some great twisted post garage future 2-step and you also get two tracks from what is destined to be one of the albums of the year - 89 by Kotchy an amazing mish mash of hip hop, pop, and experimental sounds by this talented multi-instrumentalist, beat programming singer. If this sounds like your cup of tea then you also have to look out for Phantogram. BBE have picked them up and their album is a similarly unclassifiable stew of quality music - more info when I hear a bit more. I also had to drop Congo Whoomp from Debruit, undoubtedly one of the biggest Wonky tunes to date..

Hi All,

Good news this week the show has now been picked up by Planet Radio in Tenerife, the islands best and most open minded radio station so I will now be broadcasting your music to a million extra people a week on this volcanic sunshine island, happy days.
Look out for some more syndication moves later in the year.

My magazine reviews have also been picked by Fly Global Music Culture that great portal for forward thinking and underground global music that attracts a 100,000 unique visitors a month from 153 different territories, don't forget the reviews are also printed in 3 magazines here in Spain with a monthly circulation of 75,000 as well as being blogged and appearing on the great Right On FM portal. More syndication hopefully to be announced soon.

Bit of a 4/4 fest this week but I had to kick off with a track from the amazing Lee Fields & The Expressions album, this old soul boy is still delivering the goods big time - now that's what I call R&B, nu-school take note! Great new directions in funk and disco come courtesy of IDM/Dubstep stalwart Filaria and disco queen Arcadion - both with albums dropping this year, I can't wait. Young talent (I think he's still young!) Aaron Jerome revitalises the classic Critical Point track featuring Victor Duplex for 2009 and Ramadanman keeps pushing the dubstep sound with this great new percussive work out. Johnwaynes comes through with an interesting version of the Ástor Piazzoll classic, I played the deeper version but there's also a great full on peak time mix as well. Check the great new remix of Reel People featuring the one and only Omar, top quality soulful house. Blackjoy again shows us what a disco don he is with a great Afrodisco workout, due out soon and finally the distinctive sound of Rasmus Faber and more great pop tinged soulful house sweetness..

I had to play more tracks from some killer recent albums this week so a bit more Sun Ra inspired electronic deepness from Berliner Ring, ethno jazz from Don Cherry & Latif Khan and more cinematic electro pop from Bristol`s, Bronnt Industries Kapital. Some hard hitting lyrics and great beats appear courtesy of Early Man who knows how effective rap can be when it avoids all the violence, bitches and money cliches. The new Dubterror album is sounding great with some classic roots and roots flavoured dubstep of the highest order and SMUT release the killer Badman Place track as a free download to counter the bootleggers who pressed up the 12" which is an interesting use of todays modern communication methods, although a shame they had to do it in the first place. Look out for the Pepe Bradock compilation album coming on BBE Records, a great showcase of one of the most interesting leftfield house producers of all time.

Kicking off the show this week with more Soundspecies, you know it makes sense and the album finally drops this week, just buy it. Dealmaker are gearing up for some new releases so I thought I'd give you a little taster of the Keaver & Brause album more food for you melodic beat lovers, due in May i believe. Musical darkness comes courtesy of Dobie and the dark twisted beat excursion "The New Madness" and the emmerging talent of 21 year old Robert Logan - he's going to be LARGE. R2 are on a roll at the moment with the excellent slow mo future disco vibes of Floating Points a big tune for me this summer for sure plus I've dropped another track from the excellent afrolatin comp The Connection VOL 1. Demis Roussos is back with a new lp due in May, he's obviously not content with already selling 50million albums in his career - those were the days! Finished the show with a bit of Fela inspired afro flavour but of particular note is the new Nacho Patrol ep. who are taking the afro flavour into unchartered electronic fusion territory, I can't recommend their new ep highly enough - really unique sound.

Kicked off with THAT Augustus Pablo track from the great new Rodigan Reggae compilation on BBE followed buy some deeper than deep percussion from the fantastic new AfroLatin Rich Medina & Bobbito compilation forthemcoming on R2. The new Mulatu Astatke and The Heliocentrics album is sounding as good as it promises and is the best by far in the Inspiration Information series on Strut. Deep tripped out beats come courtesy of the amazing forthecoming Enemy Earth album and the super deep Nu-Spirit Helsinki compilation coming out on Obliqsound. Ben Jones kicks off the new Arale record label in style, I'm really looking forward to what this new label on the block has got to offer in future releases. One Handed keep holding down the quality with the Bullion remix of Paul White - now there is a beat lovers dream team. The Bronnt Industries Kapital album is sounding incredible, I'd never heard of them before but I'm glad they are now on my radar. More Soundspecies in this weeks show. I finally got hold of the album due to drop in the middle of April and it is quality through and through, oozing soul with super fresh beats and sure to be one of my albums of the year - all you future soul boys, just buy it! Ended the show on a 4/4 tip, great new house music from DPlay and the ever reliable Drum Poet community label and a great new UK Funky tune surprisingly from Dobie who's flexing his production skillls in new directions with a great new release coming soon on Brownswood..

I've been neglecting the jazz of late so it's back in truly deep style and some great tracks with some classic Don Cherry and Trinidadian poet Anthony Josephy and his 7 man voodoo funk band courtesy of the consistently brilliant Heavenly Sweetness label. Equally deep and quality obsessed are Art Yard records check their fantastic new Sun Ra inspired electronic act Berliner Ring and their excellent back catalogue of rare jazz re-issues. Looks like Terry Lynn is going to be the Santogold or M.I.A. of 2009 and good luck to her, I like her style and rags to (relative)riches story. The new Boxcutter album is about to drop on Planet Mu and it's sounding great, he's one step ahead of the dubstep game branching out into different rhythms,with a nice musicality and added depth - this is one boy from the dubstep scene who's work will actually still sound good after the summer! Some nice new urban bits and bobs in the show as well. The new Grand Pianoramax single is sounding good helped along with a little Spinna remix the new Soundspecies album is sounding IMMENSE - cutting edge nu-soul and hip hop about to drop and look out for Speech Debelle as well, really unique voice (you'll either love it or hate it) and great unique UK female MC talent..

Had to drop Boxcutter andf Kinnego Flux again, great nu-soul for the dubstep generation.. Nice little Dilla
vibe in at the start of the show as well this week which just sort of happened naturally with tracks that I'v received recently, particuarly liking Takes version of "Fall in Love" - the mans influence on the new generation of beat makers and producers can't be underestimated. I actually played some drum and bass this week, the first time in ages with the Dr. Meaker remix of William Orbit - my advice forget the album and hunt down the remixes they're a lot more relevant to where music's at in 2009.. Some nice cosmic moments as well the new Brennan Green remix of Mudd and Fakroun on Claremont 56 is killing it and will be a summer staple in my sets for sure (can you wear MP3's out?). The new Quantic & His Combo Barbaro live tropical band project is sounding amazing and I can't wait for the album, dropping in June it could be one of the soundtracks of the summer. A couple more BBE tasters for you as well with some more Roddigans Reggae #2 with The Viceroys and a scarce Shep Pettibone mix of Aurra on the forthecoming Dimitri From Paris presents: Nightdubbin' - "a dubbed out collection of classic 80’s dance music" mixed by The Idjut Boys - now there's a dream team if ever there was one!

Heavy on the beats and BBE this week. Just received the new DJ Vadim single and it's sounding great, I'm excited about the summer album already! The new BBE hip hop project, Canadian boys Notes To Self is sounding fresh as well, good production and considered lyrics. The UK is well represented this week with Paul White and Lone pushing the beat science but not forgetting the melodies. The new Two Fingers project is sounding great and Sway comes correct with the lyrical content and delivery. Some deep Balearic (I like the word Balearic because it's so evocative yet non descriptive you can get away with murder under it's banner!) moments in the show as well with the ever soothing Digitonal, one of my summer anthems the Brennan Green mix of Mudd & Fakrouns, Drago and a track from the forthecoming Fink album. Not forgettng two more stellar reggae cuts from the new Rodigans Reggae compilation coming on BBE sooooon...

Kicking off the show this week with the incredible UK saxophonist Finn Peters who really is at the top of his game at the moment with the Butterflies album and now with a fantastic ep of remixes just released which are all great - really one of the best electronic jazz fusion releases of recent years. The show also features a few, not so much nu-soul, as future soul cuts with Shaunise, Sound Species and the Hawthorne Headhunters - who are promising to deliver great things with their album dropping in April, next level cosmic, jazzfunk drenched soul and hiphop, can't wait. Got to big up the Kinnego Flux boys from Ireland who with a bit of help from Boxcutter have made one of my tunes of the year taking dubstep into soul heaven - look out for them, they're young, musical, cutting edge and got a bright future. The Tony Momrelle vocal on "The Realm" finally hit me this week, coupled with a super deep Restless Soul Rmx, timeless house for the heads..

Here we go again, the usual musical mish mash - Opening up with some crazy ethnomusicological beats from Tenerife courtesy of D-Watts Riot, a blend of goat herders, arcane whistling language samples, beats and dub flavours!! A couple of wicked reggae tracks from highly recommended comps - the forthecoming stellar Rodigans Reggae II on BBE and the amazing Wackies comp available for download from BoomKat for a measley €7. More Alif Tree from the Clockwork album which is going to be in my top ten albums of the year for sure. A great jazzy take on dubstep from the aptly named Jazzsteppa and some great deep house from Mathias Vogt (really jazz with live 4/4 drumming) and a new b-side cut from the ever reliable Prime Numbers label and that's not forgetting a great lazy hip hop cut on MPM and some twisted future beats from man of the moment Dorian Concept and some proper future electronic sickness from the tongue twistingly titled crew Optikatechniqua

Another hour where music of black origin and global grooves meet a techno future.

This weeks show is mostly about Filastine and his great new album DIRTY BOMB, the best global electronic fusion I've heard in ages. Check the interview, he really is a fascinating character, constantly on the move creating music from his ever changing environment and with a some great opinions on modern technology, modern society and the music business. The Esau Mwamwaya and Radio Clit project is great Afropop electronic fusion and all the tracks are available for free - check it.. The Alif Tree album is sounding super fresh with his quirky electronic take on soul and jazz. For some great forward thinking beats check the new tracks from Hermutt Lobby and Bullion.

A super eclectic show this week from lovers soul (well it was Valentines day) to peak time dubstep via ambient noodlings and tripped out afro jazz. Still feeling the new Jimi Tenor album hard and the soon to be released BBE minimal comp (end of the month). Looks like Robert Logan has a bright future, he's only 23 with his own sound and great sounding productions - look out for him.. Loving the Jazz Steppa vibe as well, live instruments on a dubstep riddim and they're hitting the studio soon as well, I'm expecting them to blow up this year as they take dubstep from behind the decks and onto the stages with a live show...

Hi all,

Another hour where music of black origin and global grooves meet a techno future.

Sad news this week with the passing of Charles Wesley Cooper III, one half of Telfon Tel Aviv and the first song is a tribute to him, if you don't know their music I suggest you check them out..
Continued support for the Filastine & Dusty albums due to be released at the end of the month, both essential in their different genres. If Etno Jazz is your flavour then also check the Finn Peters album Butterflies. One of the best sax players in the UK, with some of the best new generation of players records this beautiful album of floating, atmospheris, oriental jazz - ESSENTIAL!
Also more BBE sneak previews, if you like the Raw Silk track then make sure you get the Night Dubbin album - selected by Dimitri and mixed by The Idjust boys!! The Liquid Liquid track is another taste from the Grandfather Paradox album compiled by Henrick Schwarz, Ame & Dixon - minimal but not quite as you know it!! You're also getting the first taste of the next installment of Real Authentic Reggae compiled by the one and only David Roddigan - essential for all lovers of that rootsier sound, more to come in the next few weeks before it's release sometime in March..

Over and out for this week..

Hola everyone,

Here is this weeks tracklisting of the show that was broadcast last Saturday between 11pm & 12am on Scanner FM reaching 3,000,000 people in Barcelona and it´s surrounding areas on Scanner FM, Catalunyas biggest independent radio station.

Don´t forget that I also write music reviews for 3 English magazines covering Barcelona and Valencia with a combined monthly print run of 75,000 so if you've got an album dropping then hit me up with a copy for a chance of some Spanish press.

Normally I lament the lack of really good global electronic fusions - most world music labels and remixers seem to be stuck in the early 90's - but this week has seen a number of great releases and hence this week the show has a really strong global flavour, keep up the good work boys and girls..

Hello all,

Another week another show. If you didn´t know then Scanner FM has a great new frequecy 96.6fm which now broacasts 30km around Barcelona and now reaches 3,000,000 people - BIG STYLE!!

I am also writing monthly album reviews for three magazines in Barcelona and Valencia with a monthly print run of 75,000 so if you need some Spanish press hit me with your promos! You can read my November reviews in advance on my blog HERE.

A BIG THANK-YOU as well to all those that made it to the last Contraflow party we did in conjunction with the Red Bull Academy. Great vibes, great entertainment and 500 satisfied customers (really sorry to all those that got locked out!), watch out December 6th for the next one.

Big up this week to Sonar Kollekiv for hogging an unfair amount of the show this week but their releases have been many and strong recently! In fact if you count the other German labels and labels with German affiliation in the tracklist thats 75% of the show - strange but true. Maybe its the fall out from Berlin being the youth and artistic center of Europe for the last few years?

The Global SoulJah & BBE records radio show is BACK on the Spanish airwaves after the summer on the BIGGER, BETTER, CLEARER & FURTHER REACHING SCANNER FM!
Scanner FM has been in transition over the summer to a great new frequency 96.6fm which now reaches 30km around Barcelona making Scanner FM now the best independent radio station in Catalunya not just Barcelona and now one of the biggest and best independents in Spain. Potential audience reach is now 3,000,000!!

Guide Out to Barcelona has a 45,000 monthly print run and I also review for Barcelona Connect where the reviews get syndicated to Valencia Connect with a combined print run of 35,00 spread between the two cities.
