British singer-songwriter and producer James Blake's unique blend of gentle R&B vocals with deep bass and minimal rhythmic dubstep elements has made him a leading figure in the post-dubstep genre. His evocative 2011 self-titled debut has been credited with transforming 2010s pop music into the darker, more harmonically rich sound we've heard in the past decade, solidifying his status as one of the most sought after producers in the game. This week, we go Back To Back through his ever-evolving genre-melding discography.

Leaders in the first wave of British punk rock, The Clash is credited for revolutionising punk and bringing the genre to the UK with music that addressed social alienation and protested against the political climate of the time, giving an angry, compassionate voice to a generation of unrest. To celebrate their third studio album London Calling turning 45 this week- often labelled one of the most influential albums of all time- we go Back To Back through the work of "The Only Band That Matters".

Ep133: Mitski

Legendary American hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest redefined the boundaries of hip-hop with their innovative fusion of jazz-infused beats and socially-conscious lyrics that helped spread Afrocentrism to a new mainstream generation of listeners during an era dominated by party anthems and gangsta rap. Regarded as a pioneer of alternative hip hop and merging jazz with hip hop, the group made history as the 12th hip hop inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month. We go Back To Back through their work and legacy.
