Watch a selection of Radio Magnetic’s favourite videos from around the web every week.

Talented cornball, Ryan Leslie makes a complete song from scratch in this video. From the initial beatbox sketch recorded on his iPhone, to inviting his fans (over twitter) to the studio to watch him recording his vocals. Slightly cringey, but impressive.

The Radio Magnetic blog brings you the latest gigs, clubs, festivals and music news from throughout the UK and worldwide.

Massive congratulations to Glasgow’s very own Rustie, who has just won the Guardian’s first album award, for his debut LP “Glass Swords”, released on Warp in October, 2011. Other nominees included Katy B, James Blake, SBTRKT and Jamie Woon. Well done Rustie.

“Rustie’s debut album Glass Swords, you see, is a playful riot of a record, a neon tapestry of sonic thrills that incorporates 80s pop, happy hardcore, the Seinfeld theme, soft rock and hip-hop – often all at the same time.”

Read more about the award and an exclusive interview with Rustie on The Guardian music site.

Stream the full “Glass Swords” LP on The Guardian music site, also.

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!

*Apology from Jim “In this episode I mention that My Tiny Robots are originally from Fife. They are in fact, and always have been, from Edinburgh. I stupidly, not for the first time I’m sure, confused them with Tiny Little Robots (who are worth checking out as well). I’ve resisted the temptation to go back and edit it!”
