My guest this week is multi-talented musician  - and wine maker - Gerald Casale from legendary new-wave band, Devo. One of my all-time favourite bands

Amazing to think that Casale's career spans more than 40 years - and he's still producing excellent music.....and wine!  

It was  an absolute joy and honour to speak to him for the 20th episode 

Cheers!

This weeks guest is DJ and musician, Mark Archer.

Mark formed Nexus 21  with Chris Peat back in 1989 and the duo  released a series of hugely influential  techno records before achieving massive chart success with Altern 8.  

It was great to speak to Mark about the early rave scene, playing Top Of The Pops and how he came up with their distinctive look.

Happy listening!

My guest this week is  musician and DJ,  Gez Varley. 

Gez was member of popular electronic duo LFO during the 1990s and later released records  under his own name and under the moniker G-Man.

LFO's acclaimed debut 'Frequencies',  which was released back in 1991 on legendary record label Warp, is one of my favourite electronic albums of all time, so it was a real honour to have Gez  on the podcast.

Happy listening!
