British Techno legend, Kirk Degiorgio provided Red Bull Music Academy with an amazing tribute to the late, great Curtis Mayfield.

We had to share this one. What a lot of people won’t realise, is that Curtis not only had a successful career as a solo recording artist, he also wrote hits for people such as Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight & The Pips amongst other soul greats. This mix showcases to both his own, and other’s classic work. Enjoy!

Kingdom is one of the best up and coming bass music producers in America at the moment with multiple releases under his belt including releases on the much lauded Night Slugs imprint.

His most recent EP Dreama showcases some of his darkest work to date and this darkness shines through in the two hour mix, taking you through some of the  darkest elements of techno, grime, UK funky and house intricately spliced with elements of R & B, hip hop, ghetto tech and footwork in a truly unique fashion.

Check out an interview we did with Kingdom on the night here .

The next Mixed Bizness event is a collaboration with Vitamins at La Cheetah club with Ben UFO & Mosca.

Exclusive Live Circuit session with the outstanding, Brandt Brauer Frick. We recorded them live at Stereo in Glasgow back in December 2011 at the Men & Machines club night.

The 2011 Mr Machine album !K7 from the trio was one of our favourites of last year so we were delighted to get the opportunity to not only see them live but also record the set for Radio Magnetic. They didn’t disappoint as you’ll hear. They manage to recreate classic house and techno sounds, favouring live instruments over the laptops sets of some of their peers, to stunning effect. It was a really exhilarating performance and we think this recording captures that well.

Hope you enjoy it. And we hope to hear more from them soon.

For more classic and contemporary live sessions and recordings visit the Radio Magnetic Live Circuit.

And, check out the Men & Machines podcast for some brilliant mixes from them.
