6 Music’s Deep Dive into Tame Impala’s Currents: Mark Ronson

Celebrating 10 years of this seminal album with all music from 2015, Mark Ronson remembering what the record meant to him, and some classic Kevin Parker ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Archive.

Celebrating ten years since the release of this seminal album with music from 2015 all day, plus hear Currents in full throughout the day alongside voicenotes from those it inspired.

Mark Ronson remembers why Currents was such a special record to him, and how Kevin Parker conversation inspired him to write Uptown Funk.

Released on in July 2015, Tame Impala’s third album Currents went on to dominate all the end of year lists, and became a mainstay on the radio and festival sound systems all through that summer, and beyond.

To celebrate its tenth birthday, alongside playing a huge range of music from that year, we’ve dug out some classic Kevin Parker interviews from the archive, plus you’ll hear from his contemporaries, collaborators and fans, revealing why they think he’s such a genius, and what it is about the album that made it so special. With Pond, Jane Weaver, Antony Szmierek, Shura, Finn Wolfhard plus more.

Head to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to catchup with everything from the day, as well as to listen to a special programme that brings together the album and all the voicenotes together in one handy listen. Just search Tame Impala in Sounds.
