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 second session of the evening, long-term friend and contributor to the Radio Magnetic family, Davie Kelly. A music lover with particular interest and passion in dub and contemporary dub infused bass music, techno, bass music, house and dubstep, Davie certainly stepped things up a notch and really began to get the party started. A fantastic selection of music, mixed with style and inventiveness from the man behind the One Louder.

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.

In anticipation of a scorching summer ahead here’s Astroboy’s latest mix for your listening pleasure. It features sunshine drenched beats from the four corners of the globe.

Don’t forget about Astroboy’s Departure Lounge night on Saturday 24 April at The Caves in Edinburgh featuring Bass Clef, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and SoulJazz Orchestra either, especially if you’re digging the sound of this latest mix from him. We’ll see you on the dancefloor.

Here’s what DJ Astroboy himself had to say about the World Gone Crazy mixtape…

“Perhaps an unwise attempt to cram as many of the global styles of music I am feeling just now into one mega-mix.

We kick off with some trippy Arabesque, moving quickly through Trenchtown and over to Argentina where we linger with the electronic cumbia of ZZK Records. More Latino dancehall follows, then a quick trip to the Balkan bassment before some Notting Hill skank beckons. Bit of classic hip-hop and funk for the old-timers before a mini mashup of afro-latin-ragga breaks that leads into Zomby’s monster Tarantula, heralding deeper territory, but not before a detour into some very fresh tropical bass. We wind things up with a bit of uk funky style and futuristic garage, finishing with the title track. Enjoy!”

And here’s some more dates you can catch Astroboy on over the coming months.

Included here are his sets at the forthcoming Kelburn Viewpoint Sessions and the Kelburn Garden Party festival itself in July.

Here’s yet another Homeclubbing installment for your enjoyment. This time round, we’ve got an exclusive live recording of Sleepless Crew from their support slot for Andrew Weatherall at the flagship B^stard Dancehall night at Glasgow’s Stereo on Friday 16 October 2009.

The Sleepless Crew have had their productions played and championed extensively by the likes of Rustie and Hudson Mohawke to Alex Smoke, Andrew Weatherall and Modeselektor. Described as ‘heavy bumping dancehall style acid cuts with a good line in bass destruction’ they were the perfect warm up for the B^stard Dancehall‘s inaugural night and the ensuing bass and space heavy, dubbed out beats with which Mr Weatherall rocked and swayed the dancehall to.

The Sleepless Crew have been releasing tracks since 2004, using Subplate Records and Dalriada. Dalriada Records is run by the good folks at Glasgow’s Rubadub. A very well respected record shop in Glasgow’s city centre. The institution that is Rubadub have been selling quality electronic music to the world for over twelve years now. They also run Club 69 in Paisley, whose list of past guests read like a who’s who of quality electronic music of the last ten years. The label dedicates itself to releasing music which will stand the test of time, from new and often local, homegrown Scottish talent. The perfect fit for our Homeclubbing series.

We hope you enjoy this set as much as we enjoyed it on the night and after repeated and continous listens over the last few weeks.

Bestival, six year’s strong, is an award winning three day boutique music festival held in the leafy setting of Robin Hill country park on the Isle of Wight. It’s the brainchild of leftfield Radio 1 DJ “Rob Da Bank” and other founders who had their own vision for how a modern independent festival should be.

The latest exclusive Fabric mix comes courtesy of everyone’s favourite bastard dancehall exponent and Sheffield’s finest, Toddla T.

“When I was about 9 or 10 my cousin played me some hip hop and that was me for the next six years. Biggie, Snoop, Mobb Deep, only really hard shit. Then as I got older I got deeper and got into stuff that’s a bit more underground, I got into British hip hop for a while. Roots Manuva was one of the first albums I bought on vinyl. I was big into mix tapes. And then once I got to about 16, I got into ragga and dancehall and reggae. And then got into house and techno and garage and grime and that brings us up to the current day.

I started real young – that’s where the whole Toddla thing comes from. I got tables when I was about 10-12, because of hip hop. I saw them get used a few times and I thought they were wicked. I didn’t actually get any that were usable until I was about 15. I would just fuck around on these right crap ones. But it meant I was buying records at the same time so when it came to me having proper ones I had a good set of tunes for mucking about with.

I used to work in a shop in Sheffield and one of the guys I worked with in the shop called Scott [Moncrieff] – he’s older than me, about 30 odd now – we shared an interest in music. So we started making music together in a proper studio and we were under the name Small Arms Fiya and that was the first few releases I had, we did some remixing and stuff. So that was the first serious thing. But then around the same time, I got asked to be a studio engineer at Kenwood Studios in Sheffield, which was quite serious. I think I was 18/19. I worked with DJ Cash Money, Roots Manuva. Alisha Dixon came through us. And it’s the place where Dizzee did Boy In the Corner, his first album.

I got approached by the guy that I’m making my album with, Ross Orton; he’s this local Sheffield legend. I know Ross because he lived the guy I used to make records with, Scott. I got recommended because they knew I was quite swift on the computers. The only reason I got into the engineering side was because it was the only way; I didn’t know anyone who made music so the only way to do it was learn myself. When I got asked to do the engineering job, I didn’t particularly want to do it but I just thought, ‘I’ve got to do this.’ I spent a few years doing that. It was amazing, I met some wicked people. I learnt how to be in studio environments with everyone from local bands to pop stars so it was really good. You just learn people skills as well.

And then about 18 months ago I started going solo. Yeah, it’s been mental. I put out some 7”’s which was a rhythm track called ‘Do you Know,’ which I had four versions of. 1965 put them out. We put them out around Carnival last year, so that would be August 2007. At the same time as that, I put out a mixtape called ‘Ghettoblaster,’ which was a free download thing. I wanted to put the mixtape out because I wanted to represent what I was about – not just a couple of rhythm tracks. And then it just went berserk, it got out of hand really! Got offered loads of remixes, DJ gigs, did a few remixes and cracked on with some more releases. Second one was called ‘Sound Tape Killing,’ third one was called ‘Manabadman.’ And then I got signed to an album off the back of it which was just incredible.

I’m still quite surprised about how people have received my music to be honest. Before I started going out of town, I just didn’t think people could get their heads ‘round it but they do. So it’s really good. I’m not mad on being on the road for too long, I like my base. I just want to hand pick what’s really good, do it and then come back. Playing at the Miami Winter Music Conference was big this year, I didn’t expect my music to go down as well as it did, twas amazing. Also Europe has been a madness, some of the best gigs have been in the most random of places such as Trondheim?!

I like London, it’s exciting. But I’m grounded in Sheffield. I think if I moved to London or spent too much time there I would probably get caught up in the London thing, which is cool, but what I think makes me stand out from that from that is that I’ve got a different background, a different take on things. Rather than growing up in Shoreditch like every other fucker does. I could feel myself getting sucked into that because it’s quite good fun but in order to be separate I need to be based here. I do like coming down, I have a wicked time, there’s loads of wicked people, see wicked things. In London and Birmingham, I have a wicked time every time.

As for the future, I’ve been doing some production, I did 2 tracks for Bashy’s album, ‘Catch Me If You Can’, one of which was lead single – ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.’ I’ve done a track for Tinchy Stryder’s album, which he absolutely murked. Been in with Roisin Murphy working on her record. I’m going to Jamaica in a couple of months for a coupla days in the studio…READY. Also about to go in with Trojan Soundsystem. Started my monthly Radio 1 show, every 3rd Friday of the month from 2am-4am….Steel city sonix nation wiiide!!!”
