On Monday's show we will be looking back at the first quarter of 2011 and picking out the tracks and records that we think matter the most, and that deserve your time - some of which already look like contenders for end-of-year lists.

We'll be playing big-hitters in the alternative field - think Radiohead, PJ Harvey, TV On The Radio and The Strokes; up-and-coming acts such as The Smith Westerns, James Blake, Toro Y Moi and Yuck; plus some varied, innovative sounds from the likes of Teeel, Nicolas Jaar, tUnE-yArDs and The Weeknd. Irrespective of genre or popularity, we'll be aiming to bring you the cream of 2011's crop.

In addition to that, we continue our regular features: 'Notts News', with a gig review courtesy of Ben amongst the usual gig previews and general action on the Nottingham scene; 'Music News', which is as it sounds - festival line-ups, tours, record announcements and general goings-on in the world of music. We will be having a rare double 'Hot Off The Press' too, featuring the final instalment in an run of singles from a well-loved artist and the return, after four years, of a very special sonic pioneer. In addition to all that, we will also launch a brand new weekly feature, taking you further out towards the fringes of boundary-pushing sounds. So for all those reasons and more, remember to tune in from 11pm-1am to hear the best Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop, Electronica and Left-field of the Alternative persuasion.
