For our final show, we wanted to pay tribute to underground music in Oxford. Both of us are hugely indebted to the organisers, promoters and stalwarts of the scene here who have enabled incredible performances from world class DJs and musicians just a few minutes from our front doors. Looking back at the wealth of talent who have played here in the past year alone made us realise how lucky we’ve been. Today’s mix features tracks and remixes from these artists, with melancholy house, choppy disco, acid-tinged techno and plenty more on the agenda (with no interruptions this week). In addition, we are happy to share music from friends and producers here at Oxford University. Huge thanks to Noah Harrison, Harry Manley, Lvra, Diamond and Dysfunction for providing some superb tracks - we hope to hear more of your work in the future! https://soundcloud.com/noah-harrison-64 https://soundcloud.com/lvraofficial https://soundcloud.com/michaeldiamonduk https://soundcloud.com/cai-langstaff ********** TRACKLIST: Juju & Jordash – African Flower (Cosmic Dub) Joe - MPH Noah Harrison – Everything’s Right Beside You Leon Vynehall - Time Harry Manley – I’ve Felt The Same Way Laurel Halo - Moontalk Pearson Sound - Our Spirits Soar Lvra – do i look likei drink Ribena (feat.

Underground music in China appears to be a largely self-contained scene, with seemingly few Chinese artists breaking ground on the international circuit. This week we overview the tracks coming out of China recently which we've been impressed by with an eclectic, leftfield mix. Meanwhile, Alex stages a walk out after deciding the festival he had tickets for was more important. Will he be invited back?

Japanese ambient music from the 80's and 90's has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years with the help of a few record enthusiasts digging up, editing and sharing these long-forgotten gems. We sit down with Texture Magazine's Tom Graham and enjoy some blissful Japanese sounds, old and new. Sadly, technical difficulties mean our riveting discussion has had to be cut short after the first half an hour, but leaves the last hour decluttered for a more immersive listening experience. Make sure to get yourself over to the Texture Magazine site and find them on Facebook, Mixcloud and Insta for some premium underground music content. https://www.texturemag.net/ TRACKLIST: Midori Takada - Mr Henri Rousseau’s Dream Sawako - Incense Of Voice Masashi Kitamura & Phonogenix - Variation III Meitei - Nami Visible Cloaks, Yoshio Ojima & Satsuki Shibano - Lapis Lazuli Syun - Landscape 2 Hiroshi Yoshimura - Feel Tetsu Inoue - Chill In Chill Out Miyako Koda - A Sea Of Love (Seahorse Mix) Yoshio Ojima - Organic Steps Susumu Hirasawa - Gattsu Meitei - Sankai Midori Hirano - Rolling Moon Chihei Hatakeyama - Misty Echo Haruomi Hosono - Mercuric Dance Teruyuki Nobuchika - Le Reve Moskitoo - Fluctuations Sawako - O R G Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Siisx Dom Mino’ - Liquid Architecture Saito Koji - Light Blue Swimming Wednesday Chihei Hatakeyama - Child Voices In The Park Of Berlin

For a few years back in the late 00's, UK Funky was an inescapable club sound. This week we explore the origins of this lively, patchwork genre and consider why the scene faded away so quickly. Meanwhile, Max attempts to fire his brother after his track requests go unanswered and Alex redeems himself with some, as he put it off-air, "proper skankers".

Intelligent Dance Music, originating in the early 90s from a small community of British tech-heads, is certainly one of the more obscure and subversive forms of electronic music. This week we look back at the work by the pioneers of these enigmatic sounds before looking at some contemporary relatives. Meanwhile, Alex embarrasses his brother with his hefty IDM knowledge, Max doubles down on his challenge to Madonna and we reflect on our recent 'endorsement' from the Oxide Team. ************ TRACKLIST: Aphex Twin - Xtal Autechre - Flutter Autechre - Eutow μ-Ziq - Hasty Boom Alert Bjork - An Echo, A Stain Squarepusher - Beep Street Aphex Twin - afx237.v7 тпсб - Catching Rare Birds Sabiwa - Jia Jlin - Blue i Autechre - gonk tuf hi Dorian Concept - E13 Venetian Snares x Daniel Lanois - Night GHP133 FaltyDL - Rolling (μ-Ziq Remix) μ-Ziq - Drocovums Objekt - 35 Object Blue - Act Like It Then upsammy - Vacate or Annihilate Overmono - Quadraluv Dwaalicht - Debt Loop Gnoomes - B-Day (Ulrich Schnauss Remix)

Disco might not be the first thing which springs to mind when you think of Norway, but in this first episode we explore how a distinctively warm brand of disco was borne out of one of the coldest places on earth. Tracks from pioneers of the 'Scandolaeric' movement and artists who are taking the scene forward today.
