In this episode of Secrets of the Underworld, Neil Cummins sits down with Liverpool dance music pioneer Ian Redman, the driving force behind chart-smashing act Ultrabeat.

From a dyslexic class clown in Crosby with a Sony Walkman glued to his ear, to headlining clubs at just 15 years old, Ian’s story is pure graft, hustle and Scouse belief. He opens up about sneaking into the DJ booth at The Paradox as a teenager, selling records in Liverpool’s legendary Three Beat Records and boldly cold-calling labels until they handed him remix opportunities that would change his life.

Then came Green Eyes — a track that exploded onto the UK charts and became a generational anthem. Ian reveals how the record was made, the surreal experience of performing on national television and the whirlwind of fame, money and excess that followed.
