Hi there, sorry for the week off! It'll all get explained, but Trve. Cvlt. Pop! has returned, good news.

On this week's show, Gaz is still away, resting up, so our good buddy Merlin Alderslade joins us to talk about the year in dance, EDM and electronic music. After a stellar 2024, does this year hold a candle to it? We look at the big releases, the new artists coming through, the best albums, the biggest disappointments and the live shows that we loved.

Plus, we look at the Reading and Leeds line up for 2026, pay tribute to Mani and Jimmy Cliff and review recent live shows from Radiohead, Clipse and Gary Numan.
