80s synth-pop pioneer Howard Jones joins Hal for a proper synth-geek deep dive, and even records a new vocal for a house remix while he’s there. From working in a cling-film factory to fund his keyboard habit to wrestling with temperamental synths onstage, Howard recalls the making of his groundbreaking live show. They revisit New Song, The Young Punx’s Mohito collaboration and dancefloor reworks by Eric Prydz and Cedric Gervais, plus the chaos of selling freshly recorded concert CDs straight after gigs. And Howard would like you to know he’d rather be called ‘Synth Wizard’.
Music in this show: Howard Jones – New Song, Howard Jones – Just Look at You Now, Mohito feat. Howard Jones – Slip Away (Steve Angello Mix), Cedric Gervais vs Howard Jones – The Feel Goes On (Pearl in the Shell), Eric Prydz vs Howard Jones – And Do You Feel Scared? / Things Can Only Get Better, Fred Falke – Last Wave, Discount Rhinos – Grab That Hoodie, Audio1 – What Is Love.
