As an ethnomusicologist, World Music awards manager for the Grammy awards and sometime DJ for Shakira, Fuentes is always on the lookout for inspiring sounds. He joins us to talk through this year’s Grammys and the new music that’s on his radar.
The Brazilian musician is known for a samba-influenced sound that has won fans across the globe. He talks through his latest shows that revisit his interpretations of classics from David Bowie’s back catalogue.
Among other releases, March sees the return of early noughties hit-makers Dido and David Gray. The two sold millions of records back in 2000 but can they replicate that success in 2019? Robert Bound is joined in the studio by Liv Siddall and Will Hodgkinson to discuss and round up some other albums they’re enjoying this month.
Liv Siddall and Will Hodgkinson join Robert Bound to discuss ‘Remind Me Tomorrow’, the fifth album by American singer Sharon Van Etten.
Robert Bound rounds up the best (and worst) Christmas tunes of 2018 with Will Hodgkinson, chief rock and pop critic for ‘The Times’, and broadcaster and DJ Georgie Rogers.
The French singer’s first album ‘Chaleur Humaine’ launched in 2015 and topped the charts in France and beyond. Since then, Christine and the Queens has travelled the world, performed with Elton John and famously got spanked on stage by Madonna in Paris. Her new release ‘Chris’ is a funk-filled record full of sexual references and plays on androgyny. Ahead of her tour, the singer sits down with Monocle’s Chiara Rimella to discuss her record, her evolving persona and gender boundaries.
As the Icelandic band Vök release their new album ‘In The Dark’, we revisit their 2016 performance at Midori House.
Robert Forster, founding member of Australian band The Go-Betweens, returns to Midori House to play some new songs and chat to Andrew Mueller.
Grammy nominee Emily King tells us why buying a car and moving upstate from her native New York City to the Catskills provided the inspiration she needed to write her new album ‘Scenery’. She also plays us a few tracks from it.
Jonny Pierce of The Drums drops by to play us some tunes from ‘Brutalism’, his upcoming record about self-care and pulling yourself out of the dark.
Brazilian samba legend Seu Jorge revisits the David Bowie tracks that he famously covered for the 2004 Wes Anderson film ‘The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou’.
American indie-rock group Sunflower Bean paid us a visit in 2016. We listen back to the three tracks they played for us from their debut album, ‘Human Ceremony’.
We revisit our 2017 session with Canadian electro duo Blue Hawaii, who played tracks from their second album ‘Tenderness’.
Sam Swinson is the frontman of American trio Ohtis who, despite having been formed more than 10 years ago, are about to release their debut album, ‘Curve of Earth’. It’s an exploration of the religious cult that Swinson grew up in, his battles with drug addiction and the recovery process that followed. Swinson plays three tracks and chats to Holly Fisher.
This year the founding member and guitarist in The Killers, Dave Keuning, is going solo. He chats to Kieron Banerji and plays us a few tracks from his new record ‘Prismism’.
We take a trip down memory lane and relive some of our favourite performances from the past year, including tracks by Cults, Yazmin Lacey, Cub Sport and Tiny Ruins.
Live music from Kiwi brother-and-sister pop duo Broods, who will release their album ‘Don't Feed The Pop Monster’ next February.
The cavernous halls of the Printworks, an old newspaper printing plant in London district Canada Water, have been turned into a major destination for lovers of electronic music. The team behind the project are keen to get the most out of their building, which also happens to be a historical landmark in its own right.
