DB5
It's only DB's fifth week of doing BLURRINGradio with AIR, but he already wants out: hence this week's blissful psychedelic detour to the 1960s and back, through the ruins of such eminents as The Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd and Meat Beat Manifesto and into the arenas of such evidently contemporary bands as MGMT, The Dead Weather and Golden Silvers. Along for the trip are such fast-establishing groups as Yeasayer, The Black Angels, Holy Fuck, The Big Pink and UNKLE, alongside such never-established-enough ones as Orbital, This Mortal Coil, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Air, Thom Yorke and the miraculously still-trucking Rolling Stones. But the journey's not over until DB's scoured the earth for the likes of Small Black, The Black Ryder and Psychonauts. So turn on, tune in and drop out.
Special thanks to the labels behind these artists: 4AD, The Anti-Machine Machine, Blanco y Negro, Columbia, Decca Records, EMI Music, Epic Records, FFRR Records, International DeeJay Gigolo Records Records, Interscope, Jagjaguwar, Light in the Attic, London Records, Mo' Wax Records, Secretly Canadian, Surrender All, Third Man, UNI Records, Virgin Records and XL.

RADIO SERIES
As a kid in London, DB used to fall asleep at night with a transistor radio hidden under his pillow. He has been addicted to hearing new music ever since. Here, he brings that music to you.
This is not a music show that's restricted to a particular genre, or even a specific decade, although it has an emphasis on indie rock with electronic elements or electronic music that's not simply for the dance floor. It's a 90-minute mixtape-style show that is as musically open-minded as the musical landscape is wide.
