The Recommends playlist show celebrates the artists that have curated Meltdown Festival over its 25 year history, with tracks from Bowie, Anohni, The Cure, MIA and many more.

The annual festival hosted at London's Southbank Centre is curated every year by a different artist. It kicked off a couple of days ago, and this year the Cure's Robert Smith is in charge of pulling together 10 days of music and events on the banks of the River Thames.
