Thom Yorke, The White Stripes and Four Tet are to appear on a new online music show.
The series, titled From The Basement, has been organised by top producer Nigel Godrich and other music industry figures.
The first show will feature Thom Yorke playing new Radiohead songs from the band's next album. It has already been recorded at the Maida Vale studios in London and will be available for download from December 18.
The second show, to come out in February, will see the The White Stripes playing a variety of tracks, then on the third Four Tet's Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid will play an improvised collaboration.
Yorke said: "From The Basement was exciting because it came from the desire to cut out the crap that lies between the music and the viewer. To get plugged straight into the mains. No producer or director egos messing it up."
Godrich added: "I'm a sad fan trying to bring the magic back to music TV."
Episodes, costing £1.89 each, will only be available online at from fromthebasement.tv.
