This episode features a true pioneer and innovator in the field of VJing – Jonny Wilson. Under the name of Eclectic Method he established himself as an audio-visual remix act.

Originally formed in London in 2001 by Jonny, Geoff Gamlen and Ian Edgar, he is now the sole remaining member. Inspired almost entirely by Jonny's early experiences with Sony Vegas editing software, Eclectic Method's audiovisual style quickly developed into a live performance featuring video turntables (Pioneer DVJ-1000) - mixing videos, often acapellas, as integral parts of their astounding audio mashups. As a live act, they have travelled around the world playing hundreds of gigs in Asia, North America, South America, Europe and the Middle East.

Today’s exceptionally danceable Electronically Yours episode features an in depth discussion with Mark Wood (Demon Records) and author Ian Wade about their new 5 CD + 4 LP boxsets, featuring  the best queer club classics 1980-1989.

Across five individually themed discs, the deluxe CD set presents 53 original extended versions, including many hard-to-find remixes, encompassing full-length High Energy, House, Diva, Pop, Europop and Alternative eighties classics from the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jones, Sylvester, Eartha Kitt, Divine, New Order, Hazell Dean, Laura Branigan and many more.  Highlights include the hard-to-find 12” version of Village People’s ‘Can’t Stop The Music’ plus the rarely-compiled underground club anthems ‘Pistol In My Pocket’ by Lana Pellay and ‘After The Rainbow’ by Joanne Daniëls.

 Not only were the ‘80s queer clubs where you were most likely to hear the latest groundbreaking developments in dance music (for example, house music would quietly flourish and innovate on the scene before busting overground and achieving near ubiquity as the decade progressed), there was also a heck of a lot of diversity on offer.
