#357 – Modern Nature, Nyokabi Kariuki, Hot in da Club, Za!, Bezbog, Scrabbel - 7 February 2022

Maximum riffage bookending this week’s Independent Music Podcast
with thrashing Esperanto-singing Tokyo punks Socio La Difekta
getting us started and the epic Wild Rocket release on Riot
Season closing us out.


The filling in the riff sandwich is a wild journey of noise, from
the hip-thrusting power of Nihiloxica-affiliated Hot in da Club
to italo-disco delights of Bézier, through the cinematic epics of
Portuguese duo Bezbog and folk sounds of Bella Union’s Modern
Nature.


We also have twisted takes on Lunar New Year music,
Korean-mythology influenced jazz, Kenyan modern classical, and
more.
