EP227: Winston Hazel

Electronically Yours with Martyn Ware

Today’s episode features an old friend of Martyn’s from the Sheffield electronic dance music scene, Winston Hazel. One of the first people to bring house music to the north of England, years before the acid-house explosion. Alongside Robert Gordon and Sean Maher he was one third of Forgemasters, whose ‘Track With No Name’ became the first release on Warp Records, lighting the touchpaper for the whole electronic musical explosion of the 1990s. Ladies and gentlemen – discover the origins of the distinctive ‘Sheffield Clang’ with Winston Hazel...
