‘Wall of Sound’ founder, DJ, radio presenter and Back To The Phuture creator Mark Jones has announced the first in a series of live events, in partnership with Dennis Publishing. The first two will take place at Academy 1 - Manchester and Troxy – London with live performances by Gary Numan and Recoil in Manchester, and John Foxx at the London show.
Motor will also play at both dates, as will Richard H Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire/Warp), and Mark Jones will be spinning seminal machine music from the past, present and future – his sets paying special attention to new talent like Hurts, Villa Nah, La Roux, Little Boots, Penguin Prison and Ellie Golding.
Back To The Phuture started out as a radio show on BBC 6 Music in 2009. The acclaimed program links the synth pioneers with today’s electro artists in celebration of 30 years of daring electronics.
The show has enjoyed massive success, uniting the likes of Gary Numan and Little Boots for a session and orchestrating a performance by Heaven 17 and La Roux at the BBC’s famous Maida Vale studios. It was a definitive pop event that drew huge audiences and broke the record for the most watched music event ever on BBC Digital with 1.3 million hitting the red button.
Jones has delivered entertaining and educational radio shows with guests including Arthur Baker, Phil Oakey (The Human League), Daniel Miller (Mute Records), Gary Numan, Martyn Ware (Heaven 17), Andy McLuskey & Paul Humphries (OMD), Steve Strange (Visage) and August Darnell (Kid Creole & the Coconuts).
