Sikisa Bostwick-Barnes & Bollywave
Amy Dang, a classically trained sitar player, fuses ancient Sikh hymns and poems of Gurus with a modern dance feel and calls it "Bollywave". Will it be enough to sweep Sikisa Bostwick-Barnes off her feet?
Aaron Chen & ОЭЩ МАГЗИУ
ОЭЩ МАГЗИУ (or Oesch Magziu to you and me) by ГШ (or Glintshake to you and me) is an album inspired by the Russian avant-garde, a creative movement popular in Russia in the early 20th Century and worked into a more modern sound. However, will it translate across the globe? Australia's finest, Aaron Chen, is here to tell us.
Jen Ives & A Journey Into Darkness
The Caretaker's Everywhere At The End of Time is a 6-hour project exploring the descent into dementia. It had a profound effect on James, but what effect will it have on Jen Ives?
Kiri Pritchard-McLean & Portuguese Fusion Pop Jazz
James and Kiri discuss Portugese maestro, Bruno Pernadas' 2016 album, Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles Will Be Asked to Retrieve Them.
Dai Henwood & Pop Royalty
Carly Rae Jepsen's 2016 album Emotion: Side B is 110% pure pop, with enough sweetness to thaw James' cold heart towards the genre. However, is there too much sugar for Dai Henwood to digest?
Isy Suttie & International Prog Folk
