Continuing on our journey through The Rainbow Collection, we reach that most verdant of colours, green.

You'll hear slightly creepy library music from the UK and France, a brand new release from Ghost Bost and no less than four German artistes, dear listener, not to mention the First Lady of the Hammond.

Project Moonbase is filled with music to surprise, delight and occasionally horrify you. Made by someone who really cares (and his prisoner). We bring you music you’ve never heard before that will put a smile on your face, open your third eye and make you dance. We love space age bachelor pad music, library music, charity shop cheese, hauntology, ping pong stereo, moog music, sitar-driven psychedelia, lounge, the retro-futuristic, contemporary electronica, soundtrack music, radiophonics, euro-pop, orchestral-pop, industrial-opera, hyphens, 8bit, chip tune, skwee, uneasy listening and steel drums. We’ve been known to salute the theramin, sidle up to an ondes Martenot and smile beneficently on the ukelele. Every episode includes the unnecessary news: the strange, the weird, the futuristic and the fun. Join us now and in the future!

This week we celebrate the life and work of one of Britain's greatest big band leaders, soundtrack composers, library music composers and time/mind-bending musicians, Basil Kirchin.

Hull City of Culture 2017 recently put on a weekend of the great man's music, which DJ Bongoboy was lucky enough to attend.  Inspired by that, we've put our own tribute together.  
There's music from every part of Basil's life in music, as well as tracks by bands who have been inspired by him.

We've neglected the world of geometry for far too long and so this week we thought it time we brought you the latest developments in shapes.

Most of the tracks on the show are about specific polygons and, because we like to order the world around us, the tracks about polygons are played with an increasing number of sides.  

We leave it to you, dear listener, to predict the upper limit to which we soar.

WARNING: An assertion in the first part of this show could bring the world of mathematics crashing to the ground.

Every season we have one or two theme-free shows where we bring you some of our favourite recent discoveries.

For this first show of "likes" in Season 3, we have synthwave, darkwave, retrowave, lollywave, breakcore, j-pop and no doubt many other musical genres which may or may not exist.
