Hypnotone has been played over 10 times on NTS, first on 16 September 2014. Hypnotone's music has been featured on 15 episodes.

Formed in the vibrant milieu of Manchester[/plaeformed]'s legendary Haçienda nightclub, Hypnotone emerged from the creative partnership of Tony Martin and Martin Mittler, although the project now revolves around Martin alone.

Tony Martin, a British early 199's producer, songwriter, engineer and remixer, had previously worked with Creation Records with a different line-up featuring the vocals of Denise Johnson on releases such as 'Dream Beam' (remixed by Danny Rampling and Ben Champion). The modern Hypnotone included vocalist Cordelia Ruddock, discovered by Martin at a fashion show, Lee Royle, whom he met through a computer bulletin board and Cormac Fultan, a pianist and organist, who met Martin in the more conventional environment of a bar.
