Kevin Robinson:
This programme gets counted in by the magnificent Lord Cobra Y Los Pana Afros who vividly recounts the moon landing of July 1969. As well as Calypso, we've got Shangaan Electro from scene lynchpin and new Warp signing Nozinja and a Balani Show super hit from Mamelon.
Also in the new release pile, we've tunes from the world's greatest all-grrrl Monks tribute act Ye Nuns, a taster from the upcoming Batida album, plus hot new 7" singles from Spray Paint, Grubs and Primetime.
There are tropical selections lifted from the new albums by Clap!Clap!, Congolese collective the Kasai Allstars, Peckham via Bahrain's Flamingods and Studio One dancehall from DJ Dawn & Ranking Queens.
Your ears will be treated to some wonderfully eccentric soul from Fred Towles and an archive Peel Session track from Bob. Plus there's an abrasive London cabbie-rant on the new Perc & Truss collaboration, Unstoppable Death Machines provide an extraordinary and noisy improvised jam and Bong-Ra rips Eprom to shreds.

Lee Adcock:
By the time this broadcast smacks your ears, I'll be back in school, pouring over books about epidemiology and biostatistics. Fun times, right? At any rate, classes on wicked cool new music last all year long.
Learn why Berlin is still the epicenter of massive, messy grooves (Paro, Ruins of Krüger); dip your chopsticks into some quirky sweet and sour techno (Mr Sakitumi); and check your Lunchbox, 'cos Mum slipped ya a good handful of sweets (King Creosote, Papernut Cambridge, Luxembourg Signal). We'll also have a crash course on the hipness of cassettes - because, as you may or may not know, tapes are IN, as the recent Joanna Gruesome / Trust Fund split and the awe-inspiring Blue Tapes label demonstrate.
If none of THAT piques your interest - well, nothing draws in hungry college students like Free Pizza, right?
For revision, Broken Shoulder has finally concocted a wonderful session for us. Prepare the kettle.

Mark Whitby:
There are six of the best from our good friends The Pocket Gods in session this month, along with some corking new releases from all around the world. These include another triumphant cassette from the fascinating Blue Tapes label featuring not one but two noisy Estonian outfits, some Macedonian surf from Molokai, another brooding masterpiece from Italians Heroin In Tahiti, Deers from Spain, crazy guitar picking from Ecuador's El General Villamil and sublime beats from Pocz & Pacheko, Venezualans strutting their considerable stuff on the Portuguese Enchfada.
Closer to home, we were never going to ignore another all-too-rare release from the fabulous Long Hat Pins or the new Haunted House single, while previewing another splendid reissue from the Sugar Shack, this time from Spectre, and admiring the ukulele virtuosity of The Pukes when applied to an old Cock Sparrer choon. There are a couple of fine tracks from a compilation in aid of the people of Gaza and more from those mind-blowing albums from Goat and The Vacant Lots.
And did I mention the treat of a new Inspiral Carpets single? It's one of those shows that's so good Mark gets far too excited for his own good and, at one point, accidentally gives the wrong name of the band he's just played. I'll let your personal pedantry level dictate whether you forgive him for it or inundate him with exasperated hate mail.

Pete Jackson:
After 6 months off the air, Pete blasts back this month with a wobbly stack of new tunes from trusted favourites Gum Takes Tooth, Manwel T, The Blue Giant Zeta Puppies and The Cambodian Space Project alongside newer recruits Ye Nuns, Puff, Acid Baby Jesus and Useless Eaters.
The 3rd Liverpool International Festival Of Psychedelia gets its annual poking, with new tracks from big hitters Goat and White Hills, among others.
There's also a delve back into Peel listening history from 28 years ago this month - did you have your finger poised over the pause button then too?

Rocker:
Something of a landmark, as Rocker reaches his hundredth monthly show for Dandelion Radio - and as usual it's a packed three hours, including a featured album from Flowers, and new tracks from The Proper Ornaments; Ste McCabe; The Hobbes Fanclub; CTMF; Allo Darlin'; Guards! Guards!; The Smittens; Literature; Gold-Bears; Martha; Pere Ubu; Pale Angels; Helen Love; and Slushy.
There is something in the air at the moment, almost every UK indie band from the 1980s seems to have reformed, and some of them have even had the temerity to record new material. This month we play the best of the current crop - new tracks from The June Brides; Inspiral Carpets; The Primitives; and The Popguns. Love them or hate them (and I love them), at least here you can hear them and make your own mind up.
There's electronica from Nick Dow; Daniel Stefanik; Asa & Sorrow; Minotor; Paul David Heckhausen feat. Jaron Tripp; and Jabu.
This month's Peel's Big 45 is a Canadian all-girl affair from 1995, and this month's Educating Elizabeth 7" goes right back to 1960, a classic instrumental on the Satellite label.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Jim Steward and Estelle Axton formed the Satellite record label in 1959, releasing country music 7"s. In 1960 they added R'n'B to their repertoire. In 1961 they had to change the name of the label because of a West Coast rival. They took the first two letters of each of their surnames, and chose the name Stax - rapidly going on to become the label synonymous with Southern US soul music.

Sean Hocking:
Time for another dose of Ring of Fire and 3 hours long too. A couple of themes run through the show this month. Late seventies space disco gets a look in with tracks from Space, The Rah Band & Cosmic Gal. We've also got some dodgy Thai disco from around the same period. Chantana's Changwah Disco is particularly enjoyable.
At the current end of things I've become a huge fan of Fat White Family's debut album and we feature 3 tracks from the aforesaid Champagne Holocaust.
Too much more to mention but we can't go without saying that we'll miss the wonderful James Garner and the best TV theme tune of all time "The Rockford Files" and we hope you enjoy our Balearic inclusions in this month's show - Paqua's Late Train and Psychemagiks's Valley of Paradise.
