Infectious energy at Keele University, meet Stoke-on-Trent's The Two Step Goodbyes. Plus experimental electric duo Larimae from Shropshire taking to the national stage.

Warning: This show may contain your next obsession! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• We're championing Shropshire duo Larimae as their experimental electronic sound reaches BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6 Music. From testing tracks at forest raves to preparing for the Warehouse Project, they're taking their local roots to the national stage.

• From princess parties in Worcestershire to the dancefloors of Ibiza, Nicole Powell is making her mark on the house music scene. Discover the vocalist turning her passion into a fast-growing career.

• In our Music News: The huge festival headliners revealled for Ludlow Castle and the ancient woodlands of Cannock Chase & Delamare Forest.

• The ringing in his ears became so unbearable that it inspired a new musical direction. We meet Congleton musician II Rivers to hear the story behind his latest release.

• Forget the glamorous recording studio. Telford producer Midz makes music in a kitchen cupboard after a full day as a bricklayer. Having helped build the local grime scene behind the camera, he’s now building his own future in music.

• In our Festival Guide: Details of this week's Bewdley Festival and looking ahead to the Hay Festival Winter Weekend.

• A converted cow shed, a packed arena and some seriously beefy basslines. Phillip Stoneman catches up with 16-year-old jungle DJ Littlelegs at Into The Valley.

• They've spent nearly a decade making noise around Stoke-on-Trent. Now The Two Step Goodbyes are bringing that infectious energy to our Honeybox Live session beneath Keele University's iconic clocktower.
