6 Mix - 30/01/2010

Electro expert and Wall Of Sound record label boss Mark Jones presents a special show celebrating 6 Music's unique collaboration between Gary Numan and Little Boots currently available on BBC TV's red button channel. The show features an in-depth interview between Gary and Mark first broadcast in November 2009, discussing Numan's work as a synth pioneer and the reissue of his landmark 1979 album 'The Pleasure Principle' featuring the massive hit single 'Cars'. Gary also picks music which influenced and inspired him from David Bowie, T Rex Nine Inch Nails. Alongside Gary's interview, Mark delves into the BBC archive to play out Little Boots' 6 Mix from August 2008. Boots - AKA Blackpool's Victoria Hesketh - went on to be voted No.1 in the BBC's Sound of 2009 poll and have hit singles with 'New In Town' and 'Remedy.' This was the first ever mix she did for BBC radio and features tunes from the Black Ghosts and Hercules And Love Affair.
