E-Pop Special: OMD Interview and Grum Guest Mix

Electronic music expert Mark turns his attention to synth pop, playing classic tracks from Depeche Mode, Soft Cell and John Foxx, plus future stars Hurts, Fenech Soler and Delphic.

Electronic music expert Mark Jones goes 'Back To The Phuture', joining the dots between synthesised music past and present. In the latest edition of the show, Mark turns his attention to synth pop, playing classic tracks from Depeche Mode, Soft Cell and John Foxx alongside future synth stars Hurts, Fenech Soler and Delphic. In the second hour of the show, Mark is joined by Andy McClusky and Paul Humphries of seminal Liverpool based electro group OMD, who had a string of hits in the 1980s such as 'Enola Gay' and 'Electricity'. Mark talks to them about their rise to fame and the impact their music had on the charts, and talks to them about the music which inspired them to get involved with electronic instruments. In the final hour there's a very special guest mix from hot new Producer, Grum. Grum - aka Leeds based producer Graeme Shepherd - set the blogs alight last year with his tune 'Heartbeats', and his album of the same name fuses the sound of 1980s keyboards with throbbing twenty first century electro. In this mix he plays retro electro which inspired him alongside a collection of his current favourites.
