A podcast of exceptional music and bad puns this week, as we travel through the genres, including spooooky drum and bass from Basic Rhythm, Palestinian folklore from Maya Al Khaldi, and thunderous psych rock from Osaka’s Hibushibire.

We also have three pretty special collaborations, including Sarah Davachi and Quatuor Bozzini, Abu Ama and BedouinDrone, and YCO founders AYA and BFTT. Throw in some Russian rock, club bangers, and a long awaited return of The Haxan Cloak, and you’ve got yourself a very tasty selection.

You can listen to the first six tracks for free. To listen to the full episode, get a huge back catalogue of music, and access to our live shows and Discord group, please join our Patreon: patreon.com/independentmusicpodcast. The podcast only survives with Patron support
