Deep cuts, DIY synths and Danish folk

Join Jennifer Lucy Allan for a two-hour musical journey, from Danish folk song and deep cuts from India’s electronic scene, to a Ugandan DIY modular synth called The Afrorack.

Join Jennifer Lucy Allan for another two-hour mind-bending musical journey. There’s a lo-fi Danish folk song about a windmill from singer-songwriter Julie Felding, and deep cuts from India’s electronic music scene from Kolkata-based collective Onno.

There’ll be new footwork from Japan, recently unearthed avant-jazz from American vocalist Patty Waters, originally recorded in the 1970s, and field recordings of a busy street in Kathmandu.

Plus the debut album from Ugandan synth builder and producer Brian Bamanya, featuring his DIY modular synthesizer, The Afrorack.
