Anyone doing great work in the field of dance music in the 1970s deserves credit. Anyone who is still doing high quality work five decades later deserves an absolute abundance of respect. The birth of the 12 inch single? The birth of the remix? If you want to know how it all started, listen to Tom Moulton. Salsoul, Grace Jones,Philly International….Toms production and mix skills have made an enormous impact. This man is dance music royalty and here in the final episode of this series Nick and Eddy hear all about his journey.

S4 : EP7 - Martyn Ware
It takes some doing to be a founding member of not one but two trailblazing acts. But that's Martyn Ware, without whom we wouldn't have The Human League or Heaven 17. After that, amongst other things, production duties on an album that sold over 14 million units and delivered a USA Hot 100 number 1. Not too shabby. Still performing, teaching ,writing and exploring, here Nick and Eddy learn how Martyn charted his fascinating course. For further research check out his autobiography and podcast ‘Electronically Yours.’

S4 : EP6 - Jonathan More - Coldcut
There was a time when locating an illicit pressing of 'Say Kids What Time Is It?' - a trailblazing cut up by Coldcut - was a significant enough event to warrant a diary entry by one of this podcast's hosts. Crossover hits followed for the innovative Coldcut duo (including 5 weeks at number one with their production of 'The Only Way Is Up' by Yazz) and in time Jonathan More found himself enjoying further success with partner Matt Black as they oversaw the rise and rise of the award winning Ninja Tune record label (home to Bicep, Bonobo and so much more.) In this conversation Jonathan talks Eddy and Nick through his fascinating journey in music.

S4 : EP5 - DJ Marky
When one thinks of Brazil it may be football or the sun kissed Copacabana beach that initially springs to mind but of course it's also a land of beats and this week's guest is someone who was central to launching the explosion of dance music that took his homeland by storm. From Sao Paolo raves via mega festival stages to ground breaking nights at Bar Rumba in London DJ Marky has soundtracked many a memorable night, becoming a global drum and bass ambassador in the process. His passion for quality dance music remains as strong as ever and his live Twitch streams helped us get through lockdown. Here he talks to Nick and Eddy about an amazing life in music.

S4 : EP4 - Paul Hartnoll - Orbital
It’s unusual for a bands name to reference the scene which propelled them to break through but that’s just one of the many interesting aspects of Orbital. Developing a following from exposure at events around Londons M25 ‘Orbital’ motorway, brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll took their iconic sets to festival stages, becoming Glastonbury legends and subsequently performing far beyond the UK's shores. In this conversation Paul talks Nick and Eddy through his fascinating life in music.
