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.

2. Zap Pow – Nice Nice Time

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.

Mulatu Astatke is acknowledged as the father of Ethio Jazz, a melding of latin rhythms, traditional Ethiopian music, jazz, pop, reggae, elements of instrument-based disco and African dance music with lots and lots of funk. Sounds pretty good, eh? We think so, and highly recommend his gig as part of the Glasgow Jazz Festival on Thursday 30 June.

Mulatu was musically trained in London, New York and Boston where he was the first African student at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. After a brief period recording in New York he returned to Ethiopia where he found Addis Ababa had flourished into a cosmopolitan and vibrant city. Here he immersed himself in the music scene combining his newly discovered knowledge of jazz with the traditional Ethiopian melodies of his formative years.

Largely unknown in the west, this changed with the release of Ethiopiques 4 on French label, Buda Musiques which showcased his prodigious and expansive talents. His music was used as the score for Jim Jarmusch’s 2005 film Broken Flowers thereby bringing Mulatu’s music to a new generation of music fans. The ever-impressive Strut Records have also aided in the recent resurgence of interest in the work of Mulatu Astatke, with the releases of  a handful of wonderful compilations showcasing the pioneering music he has made, as a solo artist as well as with a range of superb musicians including The Heliocentrics, as well as a brand new LP in 2010, entitled Mulatu Steps Ahead. The title says it all for us but come and see him for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

Mulatu Astatke plays a very special gig at Platform, in Glasgow, as part of the 2011 Glasgow Jazz Festival on Thursday 30 June.

Tickets are available from platform-online.co.uk or on 0141 276 9696

Tickets also available at Monorail, Kings Court, SEE Tickets and Ticket Scotland.

Return buses on the night from Mono Bar – tickets only £4 from Monorail or on the bus.

For the gig, local links and under 16′s £10. Normal tickets £14.

Here’s The Niallist’s 100 minute compilation of his favourite tunes of the last 12 months.

There’s a couple of exclusives on here, and a fair bit of Glasgow based music, mixed up with some of the bigger releases of 2010 I have enjoyed, and some random stuff that has come my way.

It wasn’t intentional but there’s quite a lot of synths on this, from the cold and discordant to the warm and lush. Oh I do love synthesizers! I’m bringing synth back for this next decade people. There’s also a smattering of hip hop, reggae, punk and a male voice choir for good measure.

A relatively freaky tricky treaty for you with this installment. The fourth and by far the strangest mix to date. As ever, the most pleasing old and new music heard in recent weeks feature; frequently with a relatively ugly undercurrent of terror-stricken torment.

In keeping with the oft-overlooked notion of good old fashioned fun and also timed to coincide with the scariest event on the yearly calendar, here’s my Halloween special mix.

We kick off with NY’s No Wave electronic pioneers, Suicide‘s ghostly tune from their 1977 eponymous debut, devils come courtesy of Joakim and Scratch Perry , Dogs of War provide the pirates, zombies are more Fela Kuti‘s bag and  Sexual Harrassment need a freak. Some ridiculous hip-hop halloween edit of Morrissey (with whom the responsibility for this lies I have no idea), Capracara, Supermax, Ariel Pink and John Cooper Clarke are all in town this week too.

Spooking hell! Time to get off your monkey nut.

Tracklist

1. Suicide – Ghost Rider
2. Mogwai – Kids Will Be Skeletons
3. Dan Deacon – Padding Ghost
4. Joakim – Devil With No Tail
5. Scars – Horrorshow
6. Morrissey – Nonsense Halloween edit
7. Mari Boine vs Mungolian Jet Set – It Ain’t Necessarily Evil
8. Dogs of War – Love Pirate
9. Fela Kuti and Africa 7 – Zombie
10. Supermax – Spooky
11. Capracara – King of the Witches
12. Sexual Harrassment – I Need A Freak
13. Lee Scratch Perry – Disco Devil
14. Peter Tosh – Dracula (Vampire version)
15. John Cooper Clarke – I Married A Monster From Outer Space
16. Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti – Among Dreams
