May I Introduce To You? Volume 11

Make Me An Island

This week’s trawl through the megahertz begins at home with Dónal reviewing two new standout Irish releases.

There’s a radiant new single from Aoife Nessa Frances and the long-awaited sophomore record from Caoímhín O’Raghallaigh and Dan Trueman, The Fate of Bones.

We skip to northern Mali to marvel at the latest offering from desert blues royalty Terakaft and while we’re there we jump back in time to introduce a timeless dance floor anthem played on the Balafon by Neba Solo.

There are other incendiary dance-floor tunes of a more contemporary kind from the master Four Tet under his KH pseudonym and a remix for the ages by Ross From Friends for Jeshi’s 3210.

Our love affair with bedroom production wizardry continues this episode with offerings from Arupu operating out of Bucharest, Romania and Emma Kirby in London who is making extraordinary electronic music under the Elkka monikor.

Correction: Maeve Mc Kenna plays harp on Emptiness Follows by Aoife Nessa Frances
