This week’s show featured many contenders for THE perfect springtime soundtrack. We gave you some heavyweight soul music from the likes of Laura Mvula (big fresh new UK talent!), Chris Turner, Alice Russell, Bill Withers, Jesse Boykins III & MeLo X, Om'Mas Keith as well as downtempo/jazzy/bossanova/funk hip hop grooves and moods from The Greg Foat Group, Charles Bradley, Kelis, Robert Glasper & Mos Def, Pete Rock and Bonobo ft Erykah Badu. We hit you with the distorted electronic beauty of Fourtet and the French ambience of Werkha. For the soundsystem fiends there was some Detroit-styled Martyn action; festival bangers from Rustie and Hudson Mohawke; and rinse-outs from Samrai, Wrongtom and LV’s blistering refix for Debruit on offer. Thom Yorke’s new project Atoms For Peace got a play and we wrapped things up with an education on Trees dancehall stylee from Ozomatli and a Lack of Afro refix for the Hot 8 Brass Band.
