’Planet Ladydust’ radio broadcast has to do

with the on air result of a thorough research


in the international rock n’roll scenery.
Actually,it’s a weekly selection -proposition
including songs of almost 25 -different every
time -bands & artists which are coming from
various music fields like indie,alternative,brit
pop,desert & stone
rock,rockabilly,garage,punk,electronica,dark
& new
wave,surf,shoegaze,noise,psychedelic,manch
ester,krautrock,trip-hop,classic or hard
rock,film soundtracks even soul funk and so-
so many others.
It could easily be described as a’narration’,or
a multinational ’journey of a planet’ in the
music species and in time,sometimes starting
from the early 50’s or 60’s,having also many
references to the decades of the 70’s 80’s &
90’s,but actually having the majority of its
playlist choices ,coming from bands of the
very today -most of those even unsigned or
non-famous,-doesn’t really matter.On the
contrary.Planet Ladydust is proud to have
first presented since its beginning,more than
600 or 700 really recent releases from all
around the world scenery and is happy
enough to notice many of those discovered
bands becoming slowly & steadily bigger,by
signing contracts with record companies &
start touring all over:)
The info mentioned in the broadcasts comes
from an extensive research in a variety of
sources on the internet(blogs,sites-and not
only)& Ladydust is enough satisfied to see
every month her P.O box,flooded of demos
from bands & artists from all around the
world.
