6 Music: Genius Collective & The Liminanas our picks for Introducing

Every week we get to play two tracks for Tom Robinson on his excellent BBC 6 Music Introducing show… you can listen again here.  

Genius Collective – Future (Breaks)

We really like this lot, a bunch of uber talented musicians fronted by one fine singer Kezia Johnson equals something funky, fresh and entirely NOT derivative which is always refreshing. They’re a seven piece from Birmingham with an EP due out later in the year, this track Future is a free download – here.
