On the show this time, it’s the multi-genre dance music of London’s Ibibio Sound Machine.

Ibibio Sound Machine is one of our favorite bands. We met them when they first played on our live broadcast for International Clash Day from London. They are high energy, multi-cultural, groove focused and danceable. They bring the fashion; they bring the fun. Their latest records are the 'Black Notes' EP and their full-length 'Pull the Rope,' both available on Merge Records.

On the show this time, it's the fairy goth-psych of Swedish band Den Der Hale.

Den Der Hale is a Swedish post-psych band, based in Malmö, which is right across the water from Copenhagen in Denmark. There’s an amazing bridge and a tunnel between the cities known as the Øresund Link. Depending if you are translating from Danish or Swedish, the band name means “That Tail” or “The Slippery One.” They play unhurried heavy rock with nods to black metal, folk, krautrock, and whatever Frank Zappa is. For this performance the band played songs from 2024’s Pastoral Light, available now on Fat Cat records.
