Our beloved podcast is back from its unplanned summer diversion and while we were away, we received a nom for Best Podcast in the Irish Web Awards which is nice! It’s up against The Comic Cast, last year’s winner Playlist Mix and the national broadcaster RTE amongst others. Awards are on the 10th. This month... Read more »

This might just be my post of the year. 20 songs from 24 artists (remixes double it up) who appear at Electric Picnic this year clocking in at 63 minutes. This mixtape has some of my favourite music of the year contained within it, mixed to the best of my ability in under six hours... Read more »

As many of you regular readers know, Aoife and I had the recent good fortune of a trip to Australia courtesy of Tourism Australia. We visited Melbourne and Perth in a packed ten days taking in as much music, food and culture as we could. In this podcast, we bring you tracks from the best... Read more »

Our quarter-century podcast is all about new releases. We’ve got superb new tasty tunes from Hudson Mohawke, Montreal’s Clues (whose debut is worth checking out), a song from the already-lauded Suckers EP, a song from the new Starfucker EPlum, a track from David Kitt’s new one The Nightsaver and towards the dancier end of the...

Hello folks. This is Aoife here, voice of the Nialler9 podcasts. I’m writing to announce the uploading of a brand-spanking sparkly new podcast.* I’m going to try to add to our podcast output by including a monthly-ish podcast focusing on Irish music. It will be in no way a replacement of our regular monthly podcasts,... Read more »

Belgium’s Aeroplane have been killing their remixes of late. Like a funky taxidermist stuffing the originals with sick grooves. Or something…. Their Friendly Fires and MGMT remixes are repeaters and now you can add their Italo Sebastien Tellier remix to the list. Essential. As is another cut from Solid Gold, the lounge-folk of Ariel Pink,... Read more »

Bringing the public polls to a close for another year we have a podcast consisting of the top Irish tunes of 2008, as voted by the readers of Nialler9. We decided not to announce a tracklisting for this one so that you’ll have to listen to it to see who charted where. There are some... Read more »

Apologies for the lateness in this here podcast. We’ve spilled over into December but that’s OK as I’m about to kick the Irish end of year albums and songs poll off this week so the next podcast will be chosen by you. For now though, we have a selection of more leftfield than usual stuff... Read more »

Loads of new material from Beck, Madvillain, Field Music, Grizzly Bear, Jahgan Blakkamoore, Minotaur Shock and Mogwai. Again, Santogold pops up, twice on this podcast. She can’t stay away. Enjoy 56 minutes of nialler9 approved and Aoife Mc-voiced bliss.... Read more »

There’s been so much great music to digest lately and June’s podcast is the perfect format to showcase it all. The new BSS side-project/album, King Khan’s dastardly garage stomps (That’s him above), White Denim’s schizo dirty rock ‘n’ roll, a dollop of quality electronica, deep dancehall and dubstep from London, Irish alt-rock, indie and much...
