Xylouris White is firmly rooted in the past and future. Playing Cretan music of original and traditional composition, the band consists of Georgios Xylouris on Cretan laouto and vocals and Jim White on drum kit.

Jim White is an Australian drummer known and loved throughout the world as the drummer of Dirty Three, Venom P Stinger and now Xylouris White. For the last four years these two men have been performing as Xylouris White, the culmination of 25 years of friendship forged through music and place.
Death Is Not The End is Luke Owen. Comprising an NTS radio show and record label, DINTE seeks to unearth and bring light to archival music and field recordings with a focus on early gospel, global folk music, soundsystem tapes and various other audio curios. Death Is Not The End's two-volume compilation release of advertisements taken from London pirate radio broadcasts in the mid 80s to early 90s were covered by The Guardian & the New Yorker, and together with multiple pirate radio-focussed mixtapes (scanning and spanning the airwaves of 80s-00s Bristol, and contemporary pirate broadcasting in New York) constitute a keen area of interest.
