Gang Gang Dance, Brian Eno, Diplo, Afro Noise, David Toop
In the digital now, culture is a bustling marketplace where knowledge is cheap, sounds are fluid, and notions of purity shift like sand on breeze. Plan B revisits the debate around cross–cultural transaction with Brian Eno and David Toop and meets some of the musicians redrawing maps in their own image: New York's Gang Gang Dance, whose St Dymphna spins scattered global sounds into a dance both ethereal and ecstatic, global bass–hound Diplo, and Whitehouse's William Bennett, with his Afro Noise project.
MOGWAI
Back with new album The Hawk Is Howling, Mogwai are dancing, if you're asking
FUCKED UP
Toronto's Fucked Up orbit punk rock on their own strange trajectory, seeking the secrets of existence itself
RUNHILD GAMELSÆTER
Doom's forgotten daughter Runhild Gammelsæter resurfaces with a solo album inspired by the complexity of genetics and the power of love.

superfreak - since i'm back in bari our favourite freak sings and dance like a demented monkey in this asymmetrical folk lo-fi album... if you like out of synch drums, out of tune guitars and hysterical vocals, you sure will love this.
alexander de large - nazi elvis a new chapter of de large's search of cosmic pessimism, all recorded in mono, as if to underline a certain sense of loneliness... cowpunk, gothfolk, steamcore, call it as you wish, he never gets pissed...
bread pitt - non fate allarme an album albout nasty topics like snails, pricks and explosions, an album about which the Murge was already proud before it was born, a mass of styles that's useless to enumerate...
