WORLDWIDE FM

After the year in the wilderness Andy Votel from Finders Keepers Records returns to Worldwide FM with his regular-irregular radio bazar known as Niche Market.

After a year in the wilderness, existential explorer Andy Votel from Finders Keepers Records returns to Worldwide FM with a new series of his regular-irregular radio bazar entitled Niche Market. Presented live from his mythological / theoretical record-fair-stall Votel takes us down some one-way-rabbit holes to the far reaches of those microscopic niches that exist between those tight vinyl record spines, applying strenuous thinking to tenuous linking, finding patterns in the schallplattens and un-garnered genres in the deepest Avant-gardens.

For the latest instalment Votel takes a trip deep into an imaginary-menagerie hoping to liberate a host of lesser-spotted exotic breeds and psychedelic species for this JAZZ ON SAFARI springtime special. This months mammalistic motivated market plays host to some of Votel’s most lively crates yet as we introduce creature-culture to the vintage vinyl-vultures while celebrating the roars and squarks of a new multifarious strain of Animalistic jazz. Mixing familiar furry freak funk, snake-like spiritual soul and erratic free-range improv Votel brushes aside feathers and fur to offer almost 20 trophy-catches of unscathed game and pedigree pop-tones to faithful patrons of his rotating crates. With a safari-park pick-up packed exclusively with rare animal themed Jazz records from the darkest corners of the savage planet, Andy exemplifies the Worldwide FM ethos and continues to transcend the limits of human-music (and beyond) complete with bite-marks, scratches, pops, ticks and various other parasites. If you crave zoological zithers, raucous reptilian reeds, avian acoustics or full-throttle stampeding jungle jazz then, with this two hour episode of Niche Market, you’re barking up the right tree.
