New Music. When I tell people I have a New Music show, they don’t jump for joy, or say “New Music? I know EXACTLY what you mean!”. They usually need further explanation and I am not the type of person to spell things out, preferring to just point them toward the radio, or internet or IOS app and tell them to find out themselves. I am going to tell you guys though, as you have taken the time to read this! So what exactly IS new music? Well, not to be too patronising, its music that has not been played much before, possibly due to it being extremely new, or maybe its just not that popular…. yet! I grew up listening to the master of new music, John Peel and the thing I loved about his show/s the most is the unpredictability of the playlist. You would get some local indie band demos, right next to the exciting delights of some far flung African country. I try my best to channel even a fraction of the great man, and I make my playlists as unpredictable and as fresh as I possibly can. Of course, I DO get biased towards certain bands, but who isn’t?
