In episode #155 of The XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar meets Ed Vyvyan and Tom Rea from dream rock four-piece junodream about their debut album, Pools Of Colour. Lined ten tracks deep, the band's debut album, Pools of Colour, is about coming to terms with insignificance. The profoundly immersive dream-rock LP asks essential questions, delving into the more insidious and disconnected parts of modernity and the human condition, presenting a band more interested in a cohesive, egoless whole than the perspective of four separate members. In sacrificing the desires of the self, they say, your creative collaboration becomes more fruitful and the world around you more colourful. Sharing a deep connection resulting from being best friends for a decade, alongside a DIY formula at the heart of everything they do, junodream is building a captivating world within their tight community of fans and collaborators. In the five years since their inception, junodream has amassed nearly half a million monthly listeners on Spotify and over 23 million collective streams on DSPs, forging blistering and immersive live performances, including a rapturous set at this year's The Great Escape Festival in Brighton. In this interview, Ed and Tom discuss their fantastic debut album, Pools of Colour and lots more.

Melita, in for Tom, picks some of the artists from the BBC Introducing Uploader who will be playing in Brighton this week at the Great Escape Festival. Including Goa Express, Tara Lily, Saint Harison, Julie Menace, Whitelands, H33RA, Asha Gold, VLURE, Pritt, Divorce, GIRLSofGRIME, Ella More, Ciel, Queen Millz, Dark Tropics, Leo Lore, Debbie and Honeyglaze.

With a perfect balance of dark and light in their music, these guys have just got shit right and in a big fucking way.This interview with HEAVY was done a few weeks ago and by now the guys would have just left to jet set over to the UK to play The Great Escape Festival among a run of other shows before they return to rock Brisbane at MoonDoll Festival on June 3 at the iconic Mansfield Tavern.HEAVY had a chat with the frontman and ringleader of this hard-working, hard rocking four-piece band.

When I wrote it I was dating someone and I was in that initial infatuation phase, when you get butterflies in your stomach. It didn't end well, but that is another story!"As Pisano's dreamy vocals rise above energised synthesisers, "Ink" is enveloped by blissful melodies and a blaring bassline that would find a home on any dancefloor.

Rachel and I met at The Great Escape Festival, Brighton, in May 2019. I was shooting for Femme Magazine, a Brighton based publication, where I was assigned to shoot some portraits of Rachel for a feature. We were greeted by the warmest, most kind natured girl, who was a joy to take imagery of. Rachel and I stayed in contact after the shoot, funnily enough we went to school in the same small town and have a few friends in common. This episode was an absolute delight to record, I had so much fun chatting with Rachel about her work as an artist and how she feels working in the industry. We talk about how she got to where she is today, meeting her management, signing her publishing deal and also how she portrays herself online. In this episode we also delve into Rachel's brain about her creative style and how she began her career as a musician.

This episode on HDYMT? Sophie and Ally sit down with Josh Edwards or “manager Josh” as he is known to the fan army of his sole management client Dodie. Josh has been with the YouTuber and top-5-charting artist since she was playing friends gigs in cafes, and although she already had one kind of audience, it took a whole lot of nurturing to grow the singer as a serious pop proposition. For this ep we pitched up to the ever excellent Great Escape Festival, and decided to record right in the heart of the action.

What followed was life changing, with the band touring Europe and Australia, Russia and the USA, which they crossed six times in three years, growing a huge fanbase as they moved from town to town. Their most recent album, the stunning Ephemera from 2017, is a reflection on those growing year, their shared experiences. www.littlegreencars.com   Now signed to Domino Records, Mayo songwriter Seamus Fogarty and his band borrow from every genre, from krautrock to traditional balladry and everything in between, mixing conventional instrumentation with found sounds and live electronics, all fronted by Fogarty’s plaintive vocal and song-writing. Since releasing his first album in 2012 on legendary Scottish label Fence Records (King Creosote, James Yorkston), his songs have featured extensively across both the BBC and RTE His latest album The Curious Hand, produced by Fogarty and Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Wild Beasts), received rave reviews across the board with the Guardian awarding it 5/5 (a ‘stunning, mercurial album’) while The Irish Times, The Observer, Q Magazine and Mojo all awarded it 4 stars. He was also one of only a handful of Irish artists to grace the Guardian's Top 100 songs of 2017 with his song Van Gogh's Ear. www.seamusfogarty.com Growing up in Mayo, Ireland, Maria Kelly spent many years crafting and developing her sound into a delicate blend of atmospheric-alt-folk. In 2016, Maria released Stitches (Veta Records), which was named one of ‘The 50 Best Tracks of 2016’ in The Irish Times. Maria went on to release her debut EP The Things I Should, followed by the haunting Double A Dark Places / Small Talk in April of this year. Maria has played numerous shows in both the UK and Ireland supporting James Vincent McMorrow, KT Tunstall, Billie Marten and Paul Noonan, as well as performances at the Great Escape Festival, Electric Picnic, the National Concert Hall and London’s Barbican.

Apologies listeners, but there will be no new Wednesday episode this week as we recover from our exploits at this year's Great Escape Festival. If you haven't already, why not catch up on our four brilliant episodes from last weekend, or even delve back into the archives for your midweek dose of us? You know you want to. We'll be back next Wednesday as usual. Until then, have a good one. Tim & Harry x

Flames to dust. Lovers to friends. Why do all good things come to an end? We don't know the answer to that question listeners but, in the case of The Great Escape Festival 2018, we're at least going to make sure it finishes with a bang. Today is our final episode of an amazing run, and we're lucky enough to be joined on the show by the simply brilliant Skinny Pelembe. He blew our socks off when we saw him for the first time here at TGE, and it turns out he's a bloody lovely guy too. Be sure to tune in to the chat and check out his ridiculously good tunes too. As is now tradition, we end the show with our Great Escape edition of The Tracks Awards, and we invited two friendly faces along to help us out. Lizzie Garrett and Emily Hogarth have graced the podcast before, and have been along with us for the ride over this weekend. With their assistance, we're handing out 4 'Best Of...' prizes. All that's left for us to say is a huge thank you to everyone who has listened over the last few days. To all of our guests. To all of our pals who we've hung out with along the way. And, most importantly, to everyone at The Great Escape and Borowski PR for making this all possible. It has been a dream.

Three is, famously, the magic number, so we return this morning for the third episode of our run at this year's Great Escape Festival more determined than ever to sprinkle a little fairy dust into your ears. To help us do that, we invited two (yes, two!) amazing guests on to the show. First up, Her's. The spectacular dream-pop two-piece that have stolen the hearts of everyone who attended last night's Horatio's gig, and we were so delighted that they were able to find a little time in a jam-packed schedule to stop by and say hello. Next, it's Michael Jablonka. A name you'll definitely want to remember. His new single 'Flump' has been on almost constant rotation at Tracks HQ since it dropped a few weeks ago, and his chat is almost as good as his tunes. A big, massive thanks to both guests for giving up their precious time and this wonderful festival, and to you guys at home for listening. Big up, and we'll see you tomorrow.

Welcome to the 120th episode of the TrueAchievements podcast! We recorded this week's episode a day early as Rich, Jack and Ollie are all recovering today after spending yesterday at the Great Escape Festival. Unfortunately, that means we missed the chance to talk about all the things revealed in yesterday's Black Ops 4 reveal, but it does mean that you get a super early upload, ready for the commute home later day. On this week's show, we give you the chance to win an Xbox One download code of your choosing from our giveaway sack (leave us a comment in the thread below about anything we discuss in the show), Rich reached 200,000 Gamerscore last weekend and chats about his stream, we talk about the latest easy Xbox completion in the shape of InkSplosion (only two of us have completed it though), Jack gives us his impressions of Descenders, I finally manage to complete Mutant Football League, and we discuss the crazy trailers that dropped for RAGE 2. We also discuss this week's biggest news announcements, take a look at what we've been playing over the past seven days, chat about our ID@Xbox streams, look at the games coming our way over the next seven days, and answer your questions, including the question of the week.

The sun's out. The drinks are flowing. Brighton's on top form and we're back for the second episode in our 4-day run at this year's Great Escape Festival. First up are our tales from the front line. Thursday was a near-perfect day here on England's south coast, and boy oh boy do we have a story to two to share with you all. Then, a truly magical moment for us here at Tracks. Last year's recipient of our Song Of The Year award, Nilüfer Yanya, was kind enough to stop by our little Brighton pad for a quick chat mere moments after arriving at TGE, and we couldn't be more grateful that she did. An absolute pleasure, and one we'll remember for quite some time. Then, it's Friday's big recommendations. It looks set to be another HUGE day of music for all of our fellow festival goers, and we're here to make sure you don't miss any of the brightest talents on offer. Thanks again for being here, and we'll chat in the morning. Tim & Harry x We do not claim ownership of any of the music played in this episode.

Well, we made it folks. One hundred episodes. The century. The big ton. We're here, and damn it feels good. When reaching such a milestone, it's natural to look back and reflect on what has been a quite amazing journey. We've done some brilliant things and met the best people since we started this podcast but, really, one guest stands out to us above all others. Dunedin's very own Kane Strang is a bonafide musical hero for both of us, with each of his two albums ranking amongst our all-time favourites, and welcoming him on to the show at last year's Great Escape Festival was a thrill like no other. Ever since then we've wanted to get Kane back on the show for a full episode in our classic 'old, new, borrowed, blue' format, and when we asked if he'd mind giving up his Monday morning to do exactly that he was only too happy to oblige. He's nice like that. So thank you to Kane for joining us on what we think is a perfect hundredth episode. Thank you to you, our listeners. Thank you to our friends and family. Thank you to everyone who has helped out or supported us along the way. Here's to the next hundred. Tim & Harry x We do not claim ownership of any of the music played in this episode.

While they were in Brighton to perform at The Great Escape Festival, hotly tipped Irish band Pleasure Beach called in for a chat and for a live session which was captured in 360 degree video. It's the first time that any act's session has been captured in 360 in a radio studio in the UK or Ireland. Pleasure Beach performed Never Come Close which was a world exclusive performance and first play.

The Great Escape 2016 may be over, but Tracks still here! Before heading to bed for at least a week to recover, today we took a look back the third and final day of the festival which saw highlights from the likes of NZCA Lines, The Big Moon and Loyle Carner. We also stage the inaugural 'Tracks Awards', as we're obviously the most knowledgable people to host such a thing. Listen to find out who took the gongs in categories such as Best Set, Best Song and Best Venue at The Great Escape 2016. As always, we do not claim ownership of any of the music played in this episode.  

It's the final day of The Great Escape 2016, but before we all head back to normality there's still time for another bumper episode of Tracks. Today we look back on an excellent day two in which we were lucky enough to grab the Atlas Wynd lads for a quick chat after their standout set at The North Laine. They were great, and we loved having them on the show. We also briefly preview the final day's line up, with shoutouts for Tracks favourites The Big Moon and Loyle Carner as well as the likes of Carl Barât and The Jackals, The Joy Formidable and NZCA Lines. As always, we do not claim ownership of any of the music played in this episode.  

Day two of The Great Escape 2016 is here, and what a day it promises to be! To help you prepare for it, we've got a bumper episode for you. There's the story of our day one at the festival, an interview with Mindofalion's Archie, and a preview some of the great acts we'll be looking out for including Band of Skulls, INHEAVEN and Bayonne. It's a good one. As always, we do not claim ownership of any of the music played in this episode. See you tomorrow!  

It's Thursday here in Brighton, and Europe's biggest new music festival is about to kick off right on our doorsteps. The Great Escape is finally here and Tracks is too, guiding you every step of the way with daily episodes from the front line. Today's episode is all about planning who to see, and to assist in this we deliver you a round-up of our picks from Thursday's bumper line up. Spoiler alert: The Parrots, Michael Kiwanuka, Her and Banff are amongst those to make the cut. As always, we do not claim ownership of any of the music played in this episode.  

There's no full episode today, but not to worry. We are heading to The Great Escape in Brighton to bring you four daily episodes from Europe's biggest independent music festival. We'll be talking to bands, reviewing shows and generally having a merry ol' time by the sea.  Be sure to keep an eye out from Thursday onwards for our daily podcasts!

Fresh from rave reviews of their showcases at this year's South by Southwest in Austin, Texas [they were named in Hot Press Magazine's Top 10 Acts of the Festival], we talk to Gemma and Morgan from the band Saint Sister whose EP Madrid and their live peformances have been getting attention from all the right places. They perform in Brighton at the Great Escape Festival which takes place from the 19th to the 21st May. We chat about their first EP, their sound and their naughty harp!

In 2015 she signed a record deal with Warner Records and relased a music video for her song Please Don't Go that went viral globally! In less than 24 hours the video was seen over a million times. That success shows no sign of stopping - as she’s been nominated in the best female and most promising categories for the Hot Press Magazine 2016 Poll and she's performing in Brighton in May as part of the Great Escape Festival. We chat to singer songwriter Stephanie Rainey about her 2015, how she got round to releasing her first EP and the most inappropriate selfie she's ever been asked for!

Their music has been featured on Radio 1 and on Radio X in the UK and their first single was nominated for a Choice Music Prize in Ireland. Ahead of their gigs at this year's Great Escape Festival in Brighton in May we speak to Luke Reilly from Dublin band Otherkin. Luke tells us how the band got together, fills us in on their "straight in no kissing" attitude and talks about their music masterplan.

They are one of the most promising bands to come out of Ireland in years. With the recent release of their second EP Letter to Willow and a whole tour supporting Hozier - they are coming to Brighton in May to perform at The Great Escape Festival. I speak to Karen of Wyvern Lingo about how they met, their music style so far, how their long time friend Hozier has been such an influence on them and some choice lyrics on their latest single.

Howlround are the duo of Robin The Fog and Chris Weaver who create recordings and performances entirely from manipulating natural acoustic sounds on a quartet of vintage reel-to-reel tape machines - with additional reverb or electronic effects strictly forbidden. This recording documents their first ever live performance at the Brighthelm Centre as part of the Resonance FM stage at the Great Escape Festival, Brighton, 18th May 2013. It was the first time these delicate, bulky, unpredictable machines had ever left the studio - a complete step into the unknown - and therefore something of an occasion. This recording is presented without edits or overdubs, just the sound of four machines, two people and a huge tangle of quarter-inch tape, looping and snarling precariously around the venue.

Sahej Bakshi, a.k.a Dualist Inquiry, is first and foremost probably one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Aside from this he's also an extremely talented producer, guitarist and all round nice guy. Wait, did I already say that? Since returning to Delhi after completing his education at the Thornton Music School, L.A in March 2010, Sahej has been touring India extensively, in addition to being selected to perform at Berlin Music Week last year. Additionally, he was ranked #1 nationally in the Burn Sasha Tour remix competition (2010) and was the 2nd Runner Up in the MTV Submerge Ultimate Pro DJ Championship (2010), held at blueFROG in Mumbai. Most recently, Dualist Inquiry performed at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton UK, opening for hip-hop god DJ Shadow. Already tipped by many in the electronic music community to be a major presence for years to come, Dulaist Inquiry showed exactly what the fuss is all about on his debut EP Dualism which dropped on Audio Ashram earlier this year to crictial acclaim. Since then, there's been no looking back. Currently working on his debut LP due for release early next year and with remixes of Indian and foreign artists in the works, Sahej is completely focused on making music. In my mind, Dualist Inquiry will always stand out from the pack. A hugely talented producer, who uses his own style and personal obsessions to craft something beautifully unique... We're more than thrilled to have Dualist Inquiry open up the proceedings for us here at the Wild City with 25 minutes of completely original music, some of which has been specially crafted for this mix. If I was you, I'd file this next to Daft Punk, Justice and Ratatat. He's actually gone and set the bar pretty high with this one. If the standard of all the Wild City mixes to come in the future is anything like this, you're in for a treat!
