This was incredible last year:

Big crowd of 10,000 people, huge Palestinian flags waving, thumping techno with arabic samples.
It was directly after this perfect house and disco set:

What a weekend...
No worries! Hope you find something in there that really hits.
Body Maintenance mentioned!
Some other favs of mine from the 2017-19 scene: No Sister, Bitumen, Constant Mongrel, Primo!, EXEK, Nun, UBIK, GAUCI, Vertigo, Parsnip, HEXDEBT, HTRK and Spike Fuck.
I've since gravitated toward the dance music (read: Milo Eastwood extended universe) side of the PBS/RRR equation, so unfortunately no longer know what's up with punk locally...
Three songs from the 70's which I adore:
Ahmad Jamal Trio - I Love Music --------- (spot the sample in a classic 90s hiphop track)
Herbie Hancock - Watermelon Man --------- (I've got a ticket to see Herbie later this year, can't believe it)
Idris Muhammad - Could Heaven Ever Be Like This --------- (Just such a huge huge huge track, sitting in a jazz-funk-disco nexus in '77, seriously actually listen to this)
Very nice; approaching the upper limit of ~20,000km
Would be fun if they included the moon and a rough valuation of all returned lunar samples

It's the linguistic diversity for me
Banks' style is so satisfyingly recognisable here

this has reminded me of one of the world’s many seriously beautiful places, the Okavango Delta
