As Radio Magnetic‘s 10th year broadcasting cutting edge specialist music programmes draws to a close the One Louder DJs have decided to help them celebrate by giving the Ionise show a bit of a make-over.

Over the last 10 years the broadcasting industry has changed dramatically and nowadays, in this modern ultra-connected digital age, finding some audio entertainment that is actually satisfying and listener friendly is no longer the painful and time consuming task that it used to be.

It is certainly an exciting time for broadcasters and listeners alike and it is this that has inspired the One Louder DJs to switch things up a bit.

The new direction see them serving up a series of irregular and inconsistent mixes of the finest reggae and dub influenced music designed specifically for your headphones. The idea is not to take up too much of your time and to keep you interested and entertained while they have your attention.

Episode One sees Davie Kelly lay down an iPod friendly mix of some seriously bass heavy low slung dub and reggae. So plug yourself in, turn it up to eleven and give your ears a treat.
