On the show this week we move between Japanese folk music, post-punk and modern classical, interspersed with some musique concrete from Cote D'ivoire and abrasive power electronics from Italy. The new Anna Meredith is a real highlight, as is the latest single from Sarathy Korwar's magnificent new LP. Elsewhere there's the latest from the label formerly known as Tobago Tracks, a welcome return for Bobby Krlic (AKA The Haxan Cloak) and much more.

Tobago Tracks is an imprint that has been making quite a mark in recent times with wonderfully varied & boundary pushing releases from the likes of Object Blue, Bianca Scout, Iceboy Violet & more. The label is co-run by Gribs who has come through with a soothing entry for C.P-04, a compilation of contemporary influences, recorded in the winter months.

After numerous compilation appearances, the first half of 2018 saw object blue put out her first two solo EPs—‘Do you plan to end a siege?' on Tobago Tracks and 'REX' on Let’s Go Swimming.’ Their impact, next to her spellbinding live shows, was so significant that by the end of the year she was one of the most talked about new artists around. The reason is that the Chinese sound designer contorts her drum machines and smudges her synths with utter disregard for any rules and lands somewhere fresh and new; some grey area between broken techno, warped bass and experimental club. A sonic meticulousness always manages to shine through object blue’s work, despite what can often be carnage beneath the surface. And that’s the case with the one hour session we end the year with here: it’s a symphony of layers that variously sooth and seduce or rough you up with rhythm. Despite the shades of sound art and musical collage that are never far away, a dance floor narrative underlines the whole thing and will keep you moving well into 2019, a year which promises plenty for object blue.

CLUB.P continues with a back to back presentation from Jhud and BFTT. Jhud curates Sendspaace, initially a label that has now extended into an NTS Radio show. Through Sendspaace he attempts to make sense of the mess of lived experience, and demonstrate how sound can be used to illustrate more amorphous and absurd ideas. BFTT is a resident for Mutualism and runs the Leftovers platform out of Leeds. He has released music through the Manchester-based Cong Burn output, Tobago Tracks and more recently on the Whities Blue imprint showing a flair for exploratory electronic sounds. This mix represents their interests in the borders of dance music, as well as a commonality in experimental club music & fast-paced electronics.
