For the fifth episode of the Synthetic Dreams podcast I spoke to multi talented musician,   Dean Garcia.

Dean formed one of the best loved band's from the nighties, Curve, with singer Toni Halliday, who he first met back in the mid 80's. The group released five brilliant albums before disbanding in 2005.

Dean is currently a member of SPC ECO with his daughter Rose Berlin. SPC ECO, written as S.P.C E.C.O have made some truly amazing music since forming in 2007 and I really cant recommended their music enough.  Visit:  https://spceco.bandcamp.com/

For the third episode of the Synthetic Dreams podcast I had the honour of speaking to Paul Hartnoll from Orbital.

Paul, who formed Orbital back in 1989 with his brother, Phil, spoke to me about his new album, the soundtrack to the British thriller 'Concrete Plans', his memories playing Top Of The Pops and the time he nearly killed, not one, but TWO members of the Radiophonic Workshop.

The soundtrack to 'Concrete Plans'  is out this Friday, March 12th via Lakeshore Records.  https://lakeshorerecords.com/

For the second episode, I spoke to Jez Wilis (aka  Jezz Utah) from the electronic duo, Utah Saints - a group that I have loved for many years. As a teenage music fanatic, I would watch every music TV show that was on and I still remember the very first time  I saw the group on Top Of The Pops in the early 90s - I was instantly hooked! The uplifting music combined with their ultra-cool image really appealed to me.
Jez talked to me about his music career and plans for the future.
