Nick Luscombe with performances by Klein and Xylouris White

Nick plays highlights of performances by left field R&B artist Klein alongside lute and drum duo Xylouris White recorded on the Late Junction stage at End of the Road festival.

We play the rest of our live highlights recorded on the Late Junction curated stage at End of the Road festival. This time it's the turn of Oram award-winning artist Klein, known for her unique blend of gospel, electronics and R&B vocals; and Xylouris White, a duo comprised of singer and Cretan lute player Giorgos Xylouris and Dirty Three drummer, Jim White.

Klein is a singer and producer from South London via Lagos. Since releasing her debut album early last year, she has been acclaimed for her genre-mashing blend of impressionistic electronics, soulful vocals and snatches of found sound, earning her a special commendation at the inaugural Oram awards earlier this year, which recognises women making electronic music.

Xylouris White consists of drummer Jim White, of Australian band Dirty Three, and Giorgos Xylouris, who sings and plays the Cretan lute (Laoto). Xylouris is from a dynasty of musicians from the Cretan mountains. He is the son of celebrated composer, singer and lyra player Antonis Xylouris, known as Psarantonis.

Also on the programme, inspirational roots reggae from 1973 by The Tidals and the sound of classic arcade game Pole Position.

Produced by Alannah Chance for Reduced Listening.
