Here's a couple of interview clips and two live session tracks from my recent show with the ever-lovely honey-voiced Lucy Rose when she came in to chat about her new album Something's Changing and play a couple of tracks off it. SWOON. FEST.
 This fantastic lady Nadine Shah has a new album coming out.
It's called Holiday Destination and was born out of time spent in refugee camps with her brother, a documentary maker. Here she outlines to me her vision for a more political album....  Royal Blood are back back back with a new album.
I spoke to the singer Mike Kerr for BBC 6 Music all about the new track Lights Out and following up their smash debut.... Fink dropped by the studio last Sunday to play a couple of live tracks from his new blues album Fink's Sunday Night Blues Club Vol. 1. I've loved his music for a decade so it was pretty special. Listen back to the session here. Here he is talking about the recent album AND a new Fink album that's in the works at the moment. Little Cub joined me in the studio recently to chat about their debut album Still Life coming out on Domino Records in April.
We've had three brilliant singles Loveless, My Nature and Too Much Love and they headlined Cat Lovers for us recently, have played numerous shows in London, went over to Norway's By:Larm festival just recently and have opened for Boxed In. Not only did we go deep into the Little Cub sound but Dom revealed the lengths his dad has gone to to document early gigs.  Avelino bags two of the biggest players in UK grime Skepta and Stormzy on his new song Energy, their first time on a song together. He tells Beats 1's Julie Adenuga how it happened and his vision for the genre-bending, high-octane Energy.
 UK dance pioneer Goldie delivers his first solo studio album in nearly two decades The Journey Man in June 2017. Even sooner his One Mix drops as part of Drum and Bass Month this March on Beats 1. He tells Julie Adenuga about the genre he dedicated his life to and the first cut from the LP I Adore You now available on Apple Music.
 Khalid’s American Teen landed in Apple Music following his breakout track Location. He told Beats 1 about migration shaping the sound of his debut and the studio session which spawned Location and earned him Prom King.
 The Maccabees final shows are looming, just over four months away *wipes tear*.
They play two Manchester shows on June 27th and 28th and then three at London's Alexandra Palace from June 29th. They bowed out after their fourth album Marks To Prove It, following 14 years on the road, a Mercury Prize nomination, album chart toppers, countless festival performances, tours and a Latitude headline set last summer. Felix White guitarist in the band has set up a record label and club night Yala! Records and is supporting new music from the likes of The Magic Gang, Idles and Charlie Cunningham. He was on the red carpet at the NME Awards last week to give out the award for Best British Band, which they won in 2016. I grabbed him for a natter about future projects, those final Maccabees gigs and we started by talking about what makes a good UK band....
