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.
