6 Mix 2012-06-01 Mark Jones

“Mark Jones returns to the 6 Mix with the latest edition of his occasional series exploring synthesised music past and present. In this programme, Mark speaks to Ultravox front man Midge Ure about his ‘synthfluences’ following the release of the band’s new album, Brilliant.
Midge talks through the making of the new material, which is the first new offering from the band in nearly three decades, and also in depth about the synth music that has inspired him across his extensive career.
The last section of the programme sees electro pop trio, The Good Natured, provide a guestmix, which contains an exclusive collaboration between the band and Vince Clarke.”

6 Mix 2011-05-08 Back to The Phuture: Claudia Brucken and Mark Jones

“In the latest of his occasional series of 6 Mixes exploring synthesised music past and present, record label boss and electro enthusiast Mark Jones is joined by Propaganda frontwoman Claudia Brücken to discuss her life in music. Hailing from Dusseldorf in Germany, Propaganda were signed to Trevor Horn’s ZTT label in 1984 by Paul Morley, whom Claudia would later marry. The band hit the charts the next year with their debut album ‘A Secret Wish’, featuring seminal singles ‘Dr Mabuse’ and ‘Duel’, and although the band split two years later, Claudia has carried on making music, both as part of a duo with OMD’s Paul Humphries and on her own. In this programme, Claudia shares her ‘synth-fluences’ with Mark, including tunes from Kraftwerk, Patti Smith and La Dusseldorf alongside contemporary electronica from Crystal Castles and James Blake. She also discusses her new solo album ‘Combined’ featuring, amongst others, a duet with Erasure’s Andy Bell. There’s also music from Depeche Mode, Motor and a look ahead to next week’s Short Circuit Festival at London’s Roundhouse, celebrating the output of seminal electronic label Mute Records.”
