May I Introduce to You...? Vol: 14 - New Music in 2022
This is the first in a short series of Make Me An Island episodes chronicling the best new music released worldwide in 2022.In this opening chapter there's an ode to fresh electronic sounds in the shape of debut releases from Naty Seres from Berlin, Surusinghe from London and Deekapz out of São Paolo.There's proof of why Shygirl has been one of the year's stand-out artists and more essential sounds from her American peers, 070 Shake and Ela Minus.We discover why Pusha T is a contender for best US rap album of 2022 and how Digga D is a shoo-in for the UK crown.There's room for some experimental noise from the new frontier courtesy of Dutch duo Ambassade and a very modern and brilliant take on the Fra Fra sound of Northern Ghana from Linda Ayupuka.

Fresh Éire Volume 3
On this third Fresh Éire installment, Dónal goes digging for fire among a plethora of new Irish releases.
There's a written response to Anna Mieke's magnificent sophomore album Theatre and a tribute to the independent Dublin label Where The Time Goes with a couple of examples of dynamic recent releases from them in the shape of Jennifer Moore and Seán Being.
There's also the return of Meltybrains? to celebrate, a glorious Captain Beefheart cover from Niamh Regan to marvel over and fresh sounds to enjoy from young producers Kobina, Gaptoof and Brién.
The last word goes to Ian Lynch whose debut solo album as One Leg, One Eye is one for the ages.

Fresh Éire Volume 2
On this episode, Dónal trawls through a significant bunch of homegrown releases in search of gold. Indicative of just how healthy a state Irish music is in 2022, he finds it aplenty.
There's a wide range of styles to admire and enjoy from Lisa O'Neill's glorious return with Old Note to Eoghan O Ceannabháin's singular sound on his stunning solo debut to fresh and invigorating releases from a slew of artists whose careers are in their embryonic stage like CoEx, Trick Mist, LOSHH and Oliveyolive. There's also time to marvel at the latest instrumental offerings from Jape and Natalia Byelis as well as some lyrical magic from Elaine Howley and Aoife Nessa Frances.
