Welcome to theartsdesk's first radio show with Peter Culshaw and Joe Muggs, recorded with the extremely able help of Brendon Harding at Red Bull Studio London.
In the course of this show, Peter and Joe take a look at the depth and breadth of music covered by theartsdesk, playing some delicious tracks just out or about to be released (see below), and discussing the meaning of musical genre in a globalised world and asking whether it is still a useful way of bracketing artists.
In amongst this you can hear an interview with the young Soweto-born musician Spoek Mathambo, now mainly residing in Sweden, and a poignant one with the remaining members of the Esbjörn Svensson Trio. The conversation also alights on the dark side of Nashville courtesy of Todd Snider, the joys of Brazil and its heroes, whether there's such a thing as post-dubstep, and running into holy minimalists on buses.
