Electronically Yours with Martyn Ware

Tomorrow’s fascinating episode features an extraordinarily eclectic and creative character - Mark Reeder.

He is a musician, record producer, remixer, DJ, graphic designer and film maker who has been living and working in Berlin since 1978. Originally from Manchester, his clandestine musical career has spanned over more than four decades.

He was a founding member of The Frantic Elevators together with Mick Hucknall (Simply Red). Upon moving to Berlin in 1978, he became the German representative for Joy Division and the legendary Manchester record label Factory Records from 1978-1983 and a member of synthpop bands Die Unbekannten and Shark Vegas.

Reeder is also meanwhile, an established DJ and remixer, for artists such as New Order, Depeche Mode, The Pet Shop Boys, Blank & Jones, John Foxx, Anne Clark, Yello or Die Toten Hosen. He has DJ’d all over the World in some of the most prestigious locations, from events in Amsterdam, Turin, Bogota, Stockholm, Vilnius, Taipei, Moscow, Minsk, Beijing, Shanghai, to venues like Berlin’s Kraftwerk, or Ohm club, to more exotic locations as The Morning House Festival in Chengdu, China, Contact club in Tokyo, or in the Sydney Opera House and O2 Arena in London for New Order.
