Plastic Language w/ Betsy Porritt

This volume of Plastic Language features special recordings made around Birmingham with the poet Betsy Porritt, with brief appearances from Sam Weselowski and Miles Bradley. Image: 'I Want Neither the Honey Nor the Bee', from 'Oh Unquenchable Thirst' (Distance No Object, 2024).

In Focus: Roy Ayers

Few artists have straddled the worlds of jazz, R&B, funk, and soul as confidently as Roy Ayers – ask four people what genre he's known for and you may receive four different answers. Beyond being a world-class vibraphonist, and penning the life-affirming anthem "Everybody Love The Sunshine", Ayers life and music was rich with diversions – touring with Fela Kuti, performing with Whitney Houston, countless studio collaborations, and endless innovation on his solo records. Selected and mixed by Suncut.

Mikey Dread, founder of one the UK’s best known and most loved reggae sound systems, visits the studio to share stories and music with Ross.
