6 Mix - 10/10/2009

Electronic music expert Mark Jones hosts the third in his series of shows exploring the origins of synth pop. This week he's joined by Rusty Egan, a founding member of 80s electro group Visage. Best known for their top ten hit Fade To Grey In 1980, Visage were a key part of the early synth pop movement which went on to spawn bands including Ultravox and Magazine. Rusty plays the music that inspired him during this era and talks to Mark about working with Steve Strange, Midge Ure, and promoting the famous Blitz club in London which spawned the new romantic scene. There's also another trip to the dancefloor in Mark's Mutant Mash Up and tunes from Simple Minds, Duran Duran and Kraftwerk.
