The obsessive hunt for and compilation of new, interesting music has been a pursuit that's taken up far too much of my time since I was a teenager. My monthly music review radio show, Charts & Wires, was a great way to exorcise those demons if nothing else, alongside my co-host Sam Forbes. Since leaving Birmingham and Sam for London, I've guested on shows for Voices Radio.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XX on Threads Radio
For the first consecutive month in, well, months, Charts & Wires is back. Tune in for 3 versions of one Gil Scott-Heron song, some Porridge Radio and even some JPEGMAFIA (would you believe it!).
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XIX on Threads Radio
Charts & Wires is back after yet another hiatus. Stripped of our EU citizenship we've found solace in LA Priest, Thundercat, Moodymann and Mistki.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XVIII on Threads Radio
It's not just the end of the year, it's the end of the decade and maybe the end of all life as we know it. Come with Charts & Wires as they play an arbitrary array of the best songs from the past 10 years.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XVII on Threads Radio
All the best in fun, experimental music, all the worst in terms of structured, well told jokes. This month we've got Kim Gordon, Richard Dawson, Call Super and some Tom Waits. Gwan, gizzit a go.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XVI on Threads Radio
See out September with this month's episode of our experimental music review. What's in store? Sudan Archives, Eartheater, Danny Brown and Swans! What more does a Tuesday morning need?
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XV on Threads Radio
See out the end of summer with this month's episode of our experimental music review. There's some Weyes Blood, Black Country New Road, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Nérija, and that Tool track everyone won't shut up about. Also they didn't make us a social image this month so have an ugly mugshot of Blaise's mohawk.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XIV on Threads Radio
This month's episode of our experimental music review show comes courtesy of a pair of tweezers and the joys of last minute laptop repairs. Also there's some Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire, Slint and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XIII on Threads Radio
Is Japanese female-led punk a genre? Well we certainly make a case for it in this month's Charts & Wires. Oh, and there's some other new releases too, including Girl Band, Purple Mountains, Cate le Bon and AMAZONDOTCOM.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XII on Threads Radio
Charts & Wires did Cannes...but none of it made it to air. Instead this month of our experimental music review show has got the usual shebang of new releases, including FKA twigs, Denzel Curry, Lukid and Empath.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XI on Threads Radio
In a bolder crossover than any Marvel movie, Charts & Wires brings together two breeds of punk in NY Hardcore and Australian shlock rock. This month's episode of our monthly experimental music review show covers a range of new releases and their influences, including Show Me the Body, The Chats, Cities Aviv and Sunn O))).
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode X on Threads Radio
From heat wave to cold snap, Charts & Wires carries on regardless. This month's episode of our monthly experimental music review show covers a range of new releases and their influences, including Horsey, Holly Herndon, and a tribute to the baroque pop master Scott Walker.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode XI
Whilst the nation sunbathes in the face of climate change, here at Charts & Wires we've prioritised our safety (as modelled by Sam) to ensure the show keeps ticking over. This month's episode of our monthly experimental music review show covers a range of sunny new releases and their influences, including Black Midi, Cosmin TRG, and a tribute to the late, great Mark Hollis.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode VIII
New year, new station, same ol' Charts & Wires. This month's episode of our monthly experimental review show covers a range of new releases and their influences, including Xiu Xiu, MIKE, Swans and William Basinski.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires - Episode VII
Winter is fast setting in, which means 199radio's monthly experimental music review show is obliged to throw a festive curveball. Rather than tracing the heritage of a series of recent releases as normal, in a wholly original format dubbed 'The End of Year List', Blaise & Sam offer their opinions on what did and didn't tick their boxes this year.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires Episode VI
Another month, another episode of our monthly experimental music review show, Charts & Wires, albeit a little later than expected (we blame the socio-political climate). This time around we cover some really great recent drops, ranging from Bill Ryder-Jones, These New Puritans, Sneaks and Objekt.
Radio Show: Charts & Wires Episode V
Another month, another episode of our monthly experimental music review show, Charts & Wires. With little regard for their wellbeing, Sam and Blaise rush between new tracks from various weird named oddities, such as Goatman, Viagra Boys and Thom Yorke.
