TRACKLISTING. SUNDAY 22/05/2011

Tonight’s show had a truly universal feel, with artists and recommendations coming from around the world. Literally. Our guests were Jason & Chris from Canadian rockers Sunfields who managed to be charming despite suffering from jetlag, sleep deprivation and the rigours of touring. Hear the interview in full, including the band’s views on the Montreal music scene and French/English musical collaborations, on the show.

Also on the international theme, we received a rather special tip from Primavera Festival’s official station SCANNER FM for local outift ZA! (whose proud boast is that they play seven instruments onstage despite there being only two of them.) We also heard from the Austrian outfit Francis International Airport, who hail from Vienna.

However, one of the most interesting tunes came from the (arguably) less exotic region of Hackney, East London and it was tipped to us by DJ Target as his 100% Homegrown Download at 1Xtra this week. Target's tips are always a refreshing break from the 6 Music frame of musical reference. And FUZZYLOGICBABY’s ‘Drunken Man’s Speech’ had us grooving especially exuberantly to its infectious chorus and vibey groove. ‘Ay-ay-ay’ indeed!

Finally, we’ve got to take our hats off to the West Midlands artist Charlie Baxter who managed to turn himself into an instant legend with us just by judiciously namechecking himself in the insanely catchy ‘Charlie Baxter’s In My House’. An ingenious mix of hip-hop, dub, pop and rock exploded from the speakers and had us throwing the kind of shapes that would easily break the 6 Music webcams. It's lucky the programme was prerecorded. You can check out these tracks and more aural delights besides on the show.
