The Spray Synthpop Masterclass
Tucked away in the annals of synthpop, the duo Spray carved out a curious and brilliant path. The Spray Synthpop Masterclass is that path retraced, not as a dry lecture but as a series of candid conversations between Ricardo Autobahn and Jenny McLaren. This podcast unfolds like a late-night chat in the back of a tour van, meandering through the vivid, often surreal memories of a life in music. You’ll hear firsthand about the whirlwind of becoming regulars on BBC Radio 1, where their infectious electronic hooks found a national audience, and the peculiar theatre of their Eurovision adventures, which cemented their status as beloved enigmas. Each episode pulls back the curtain on the creation of their signature sound, blending technical insight with the kind of anecdotes that only come from decades in the industry. It’s a personal archive of the synthpop scene, told with warmth, humour, and the occasional bit of studio gear talk. For anyone fascinated by the people behind the music, this series offers an unvarnished, engaging masterclass in persistence, creativity, and the oddities of pop culture from two artists who lived it.
