With the latest ‘Amped…’ session going live, we thought it only right that the chart this month focuses on our much-loved show The Selector for The British Council. ‘Amped…’ is a new partnership between The Selector and The Crypt Sessions with the aim of creating a new video series of live filmed sessions with up-and-coming UK bands and artists. The ‘Amped…’ sessions are hosted online on http://selector-radio.com and http://thecryptsessions.com, and broadcast on The Selector and it’s sister stations in 39 countries across the world to an audience of over 3 million people.
Presented by Goldierocks, The Selector represents the very best in new and exciting British music, and below are some of our personal favourite Selector artists from recent months....
And this time round we have a special treat for you! We have put together a mini Spotify playlist of our picks so that you can check them all out in one place!
Feel free to add to the playlist with your favourite tracks from our recent Selector Shows!

Pete's choice….
Tribes - “Tribes took part in our first ‘Amped...’ session. I thought the video looked amazing and the band sounded great, a great way to kick things off.”
Karen’s choice…
Dizraeli and the Small Gods - “I heard their track ‘Million Miles’ on The Selector back in February and needed to hear more. Beautiful.”
Jim's choice...
Sorrow - “Atmospheric bass heavy soundscapes from Bristol boy Sorrow whose debut album ‘Dreamstone’ on Monotreme Records needs to be checked! A great mix from him on this week’s Selector show too."

John’s choice…
Nadine Shah - “Her debut EP stood out head and shoulders above the other new releases we'd had in. She's just got an incredibly powerful and distinctive voice that immediately grabs you and demands attention. It was a pleasure to get her in for a live session and I'm very much looking forward to hearing the album. If there's any justice in this world, it's gonna be massive.”

Andrea’s choice…
Tall Ships - “I like their music, like the fact they name dropped two of my favourite bands in their Selector interview and like that their name reminds me of Hartlepool.”
