In the third episode of The Story of Scottish Pop, Vic Galloway takes a side step into the world of dance music. “Whether your tastes are for deep bass, something you can shake a glow stick at, or music that’ll just get you moving, Scotland has done surprisingly well when it comes to all things electronic,“ says Vic. As well as pop provocateurs The KLF, Scotland is the birthplace of The Shamen (a group who went from their underground, psychedelic roots to No.1 in the UK pop charts) and Calvin Harris - the most successful male pop star in the USA since Michael Jackson. And without Scotland’s burgeoning dance label Soma the world might not have been introduced to Daft Punk. As well as Scottish artists who’ve found success making dance music the scene has spawned world renowned DJs. In this episode Vic speaks to Keith ‘Twitch’ McIvor from Optimo, Eclair Fifi and Slam. The programme also features contributions from Mylo, Jon Campbell from The Time Frequency, Brian D’Souza (aka Auntie Flo) and Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie. The Story of Scottish Pop is part of BBC Scotland’s summer celebration of Scottish music. There will be a three-part TV series and an online podcast series, which coincides with Rip It Up - a new music exhibit at The National Museum of Scotland. Next week, in the radio series finale, The Story of Scottish Pop looks at the best alternative and indie music to come out of Scotland.
