Listen to our favourite new music in the VF radio show

Brazilian synth boogie, sun-soaked ambience and obscure Afro-funk.

The Vinyl Factory’s monthly Soho Radio show returned this week, with Editor Anton Spice at the helm for two hours of new music and reissues that have been making waves in the office this month.

Bookended by Soundway Records’ wonderful comp of Brazilian synth oddities, this month’s selection takes in new music from Lonnie Holley, the artist behind VF album of 2013, ambient electronics on Music From Memory and Rvng Intl., mbira improvisations from Zimbabwe’s Stella Chiweshe and acoustic delights from The Innocence Mission and Gwenifer Raymond.

We’ve also got a handful of new VF releases, with music from Joakim’s Studio Venezia Sessions, Theaster Gates’ label project Black Madonna Press and a stone-cold Róisín Murphy banger, produced by house maestro Maurice Fulton.
