Listen online, stream and download this exclusive Live Circuit Session from Tinariwen recorded by us live at The Arches in Glasgow from back in 2007.

The quite awesome UK based, Malian blues rock outfit, Tinariwen return to Glasgow in 2012 to play at Oran Mor and we urge you to get a ticket. Their latest album, Tassili released earlier this year is amongst the best LPs they’ve made, we think.

Given their excellent new album and their upcoming gig in Glasgow next year we thought it was about time we unearthed this classic live recording we made back in 2007 at what was a truly memorable evening of music at The Arches.

Enjoy.

Listen online, stream and download the monthly Wild Combination podcast on Radio Magnetic. Presented by one of Glasgow’s finest DJs, David Barbarossa.

This months Wild Combination comes to you a little late due to your hosts ill health. DB couldn’t manage carrying a whole bag of large records to the studio, so he used that to his advantage and turned in a selection of 7inch dancefloor (and home listening) favourites.

Leaning into the microphone was a bit of a stretch too, so it’s very much a case of less talk, more rock (or in this case more Euro Funk, Afro Beat, Psychsploiation & other exotic treasures).

No bad back next month. Back next month, no bad.

Listen online, stream and download the monthly Radio Vava Podcast. A regular inspired mix from A La Fu from across the musical spectrum.

A number of possible superstitious origins for customs associated with birthday celebrations have been suggested. It was feared that evil spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays and to protect them, they would be visited by friends and family who would bring good thoughts and best wishes.

This special edition of the AudioVaVafesto celebrates the 10 year anniversary of our friends over at Radio Magnetic. May they be visited by good spooks bringing forth their very best intentions for many more years to come.

Oh, and you can still win  copy of A La Fu’s brand new book, DJ Memoirs – Choose Your Own Adventure on Radio Magnetic as well.

We deliberated for a long time over the music to include in this mix. We were conscious of the diverse and eclectic nature of Radio Magnetic and wanted to reflect that as well as our personal taste. What we came up with is a sort of microcosm of what we do at a deeper groove. Some old favourites, some slept on’s and some future classics…..maybe.

Hope you enjoy it!

- John and Steph (A Deeper Groove)

We were invited by the lovely people at Mixcloud HQ to come down and play at their monthly residency at the Big Chill House, King’s Cross as part of our tenth birthday celebrations. We did just that and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone who came down to enjoy a truly memorable evening of great music and partying. It was a lot of fun.

Here’s the first DJ set of the evening. Station manager, Andy McColgan, who got things started nicely with a spot of reggae and gospel-tinged soul before moving onto more disco-floor territory via a trio of Scottish indie-dance masterpieces. Some obscure tunes, many not so obscure… all seemed to go down well though and got the party started in fine style. There were even some people dancing and it was quite early…

Keep an eye on: radiomagnetic.com/10years for the rest of the sets from the night in the coming days. Davie Kelly, S-Type, Dougal Perman and Mixcloud‘s Nikhil and Nico.

And have a look and check out some of Andy’s irregularly produced and presented, Relative Frequency shows on Radio Magnetic too if you like the sound if this sort of stuff.

Enjoy.
