With our eyes set on unearthing the freshest flavours from unexpected places, we widen our scope with hand-picked musical gems from all across Asia. Joining us on the programme is Tim Sharp – one half of Botanic Records, a label that champions new music from Southeast Asia and beyond. We find out what kinda sounds pique his interest musically and the myriad rewards (and challenges) of running a forward thinking record label.
