With Colin Newman of Wire

Tom Robinson talks to Colin Newman, founder member and frontman of iconic band Wire, who released their self-titled fourteenth studio album in April 2015.

Tom has a session from Mbongwana Star who come from The Democratic Republic of Congo. They've just released their debut album 'From Kinshasa', their country's capital city. The band arose out of a long term Kinshasa band called Staff Benda Bilili. Former members met with filmmaker Renaud Barret and Parisian producer Doctor L and the Mbongwana Star project came to life - Mbongwana means change, something they felt was vital.

Huw Stephens from Radio 1 shares his personal tip from 成人快手 Introducing, as does one of the Introducing shows from around the UK.
At 11 o'clock Tom launches The After Hour, where he dusts off tracks from the outer reaches of his record collection.
