There is so much music worth hearing that struggles to break free. Every month, we bring that world to you. Our podcast host Cam Snell shares his discoveries and insights from around the globe, both inside and outside the label. Music doesn't have to be prescriptive - it's a breathing, interactive…
We've brought you a bottomless abundance of new music this month, from the three podcast tracks to Cam's recommendations to a brand new undiscovered music playlist on Spotify. On the show Spencer Flay is up centre with his new single Hey Christmas, with all the sparkle of those gold and silver holographic Christmas sellotapes. Flanking him are Jack Critchlow's sleek Closer To You and Hybrid Kid's Miracle. www.adsrecords.co.uk
Cam is joined this month by Tom from Cut Throat Francis as they celebrate (and discuss) their new single, Chicken Hands. Flanking it on either side are FUBAR's latest single FunDay, from the EP of the same name, and Anto Dust's soothing dreampop song A Larkin. Of course, lots of big news round the label with releases from George Croucher and Spencer Flay. www.adsrecords.co.uk
Where were you in 2010? George Croucher takes a moment out from releasing his amazing '2010' to talk with Cam about his coming LP, from which it comes, and to listen to some new music. Mackenzie shares her pop single After The Haze before Brain Ape join the party with their locrian delicacy, mcmi. fenchurch king. www.adsrecords.co.uk
A Spanish expat theme emerges this month with Barcelona based Emma Elizabeth bringing in her catchy pop single Control and Costa Blanca's Joe Wilkinson offering the silky Let Me Know. Taking the lead is London's Lola Aviva and her RnB/Funk single Don't Fight Me. Not to mention news from all three acts, including the new releases that are upon us. www.adsrecords.co.uk
Cam finds a few moments to update us on the coming festival season between a heartily satisfying line-up of acoustic singer-songwriter Gavin Ellis, Novelistme's indie rock signature and Ocmino's spacious yet dramatic electro, with their respective singles Rescue Me, Uptight Insecure and Show Your Face. www.adsrecords.co.uk
It's our birthday! Marking nine years of existence, Cam pulls in brand new singles from three of our previous signed artists: The High Points gift us an exclusive preview of Taking My Time, Dixie's List (frontman Valle Hedlund aka Valle Hope) bring us 02.45 and Stockholm legends Mama Sonic send us on our way with Godspeed You. Not neglecting our label updates, of course. www.adsrecords.co.uk
We've pushed the horizons this month, not only spanning genres from punk to pop, but inviting beatboxing into the fold. Enjoy Maddie Ashman's new single 6AM before diving into FUBAR's I Surrender and delving deep with MADZ and his original debut Unite The Underground. Things are otherwise brewing around the label, Cam sifts the updates for you. www.adsrecords.co.uk
Breeze away to Tel Aviv with Cam, who stops by to hear Is It Love by Roni Bar Hadas. After swinging by Stockholm for a short of nostalgia, we head back to London, where Peri Rae gives us Wildflower and Novelistme follows up with Never. www.adsrecords.co.uk
From pop rock through to chillhop, we have Emma Elizabeth's rousing song Higher, Katielou with her new single For The Taking and Leroyboughtflowers lets us into his song, Self Defense. Wrapped up in all the chitter chatter and context you've come to expect on the monthly show.
We welcome Danny from Cut Throat Francis on board to co-host the podcast, taking in much elegant rock with The Assist's Television Kid, Ocean Flaws with Karmageddon and wrapping up with This Won't Hurt by SINGBABYSING, and all of it sandwiched out with news and chat from your two venerable hosts. www.adsrecords.co.uk
A varied spread of pop this month with an electronic bent. Elba Rose gives us her intense but delicate Wildlife, followed up by LAMBO's breathless single One Way followed up with DAAY's smooth genre-cocktail Forever. Catch the news and updates ahead of next month's co-host with Danny from Cut Throat Francis. www.adsrecords.co.uk
Once the new year head has worn off, let Cam pick you up with a special edition - co-hosted with Spencer Flay! They explore his musical adventures and listen to Recky Reckz's grime release What Do You Mean, following it up with Spencer's reggae-inspired Little Bro before rounding it off with VCage's rock track Million Miles. www.adsrecords.co.uk

Every month, Cam brings three tracks to your attention from emerging (and deserving) artists.

Billionaire is here! But we give you three extra unheard tracks this October - Eye To Eye from the swaggering The Dolallys, the satisfying Carry Me from The Maida Vales and mixing it up with a delicately upbeat debut from MTCOs3idon. Plenty of news from around our artists to pad that out with - Cam will fill you in with everything. www.adsrecords.co.uk
The LP is finally happening! Well, the lead single is. Flanking Spencer Flay's unslowable Critical is Rosellas from Manchester, with their euphoric Brit-rock sounding Before The Storm and Norwegian singer-songwriter Vilnes with A Million Smiles. With all this comes news of our artists' rebirth into the live scene. www.adsrecords.co.uk music@adsrecords.co.uk
Among big news from our artists, we head westwards this August with two tracks from across the Atlantic: Canada's Tarik Robinson brings his single Everyday while California-based Kiavi shares his new single Reflection. Back on home shores, an old friend is being re-invented as Last Man Alive - we play his debut single Lucky Stars. www.adsrecords.co.uk
Three songs come to us this month connected by their use of synth. Lou Heights' rock-rap track Dodo is sandwiched precariously between US artist Bryce Bowyn and his sharp-toothed pop single Ruthless and Manchester musicians Chrysalid Homo and their 80s, pseudo-Germanic counter-culture creation I Steal Cars. www.adsrecords.co.uk

It’s a silky March here on this month’s show, with Izzy Francis and her pop pick-me-up Beautiful World, Sleeper Service returning to bring us Saturate and Nika Timos’ smooth electronic pop. Should be enough to keep you cruising along into April. www.adsrecords.co.uk
A rotisserie of new talent this February. Atmospheric indie rock from Dutch band Tessel is sandwiched between slick funk-pop from Axel Hill and bombastic pop-rock from Martin Yates. Cam steps in the middle to provide an update on the state of festivals and a go-around of what’s going on.
Let Cam work off those mince pies with some sonic entertainment. Hip hop from Cam Thomas, pop rock from Greeny and a grungier rock texture from Swine Tax form a fruity lattice bulked out with some juicy updates and the savoury sound of Cam’s voice… we’ve run out of food analogies. www.adsrecords.co.uk

We give Key Workers some long-deserved airplay this month alongside some words from its artist, Spencer Flay. He’s flanked by some very memorable pop from Jayde Chamberlain and moody rock from Alternative Therapy. And of course a little sprinkling of noise from podcast host Cam. www.adsrecords.co.uk
