After last month's episode showcasing Discrepant-only releases from 2022, here is a show featuring the ever reliable Keroxen label – the newest and freshest sister label here in the warm tropical shores of the Canary Islands.

Established as a festival in 2009, Keroxen is the record label born out of the 13-year old multidisciplinary arts festival of the same name based in Tenerife. Like its homonymous annual festival, the label’s aim is to serve as a platform for local experimentation by working with the most genre defying local artists as well as supporting collaborations with well established, like-minded international acts.

This is a wild journey of rock, free jazz, electronica, field recordings and everything else in between.
