Ian Boddy, Mark Sheeve

Ian Boddy (electronics)
Mark Shreeve (electronics)

Two veterans of the UK electronic music scene, Mark Shreeve and Ian Boddy have a great deal in common. Their music is deeply routed in the traditions of the German synthesiser music of the 1970's and as such they employ a vast range of vintage analogue equipment.

Both musicians independently rose to icon status (catalysing the 1980's UK synth scene) through the release of several remarkable studio albums and numerous legendary live performances; Shreeve became notorious for his muscular, testosterone fueled synth music and Boddy for his prog-influenced symphonic synthscapes. Coincidentally, Shreeve and Boddy came to re-invent themselves artistically at about the same time too. Shreeve with the formation of his group Redshift and its elevation of 70's sequencer spacemusic and Boddy through his embrace of and foray into modern chillout ambient music and the bold establishment of his DiN label.
