Timeline

1961

Martin Degville (born 27 January 1961 ) is the lead vocalist and co-songwriter of the British new wave band Sigue Sigue Sputnik, which had a worldwide hit single in 1986 with "Love Missile F1-11" and six other EMI single releases.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik was formed with ex-Generation X bassist Tony James.

1970

Degville hails from Walsall and was a familiar face on the Birmingham club scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s at clubs such as The Rum Runner and The Hosteria (Wine Bar).

Before Sigue Sigue Sputnik (SSS) he had worked selling clothes, and he was spotted by Tony James and Neal X while dancing in his Yaya boutique.

Degville's former flatmate is Boy George, and George worked in Degville's shop (Degville's Dispensary) during the time that he lived in Walsall.

Degville was also a fashion designer who styled Sigue Sigue Sputnik's original image, and musical style.

1990

Following the initial split of SSS in 1990, Martin Degville started working with guitarist Mick Rossi (from the band, Slaughter & the Dogs) with a view to producing material as a solo artist.

A new single going by the title of “I Surrender” was recorded which Degville and Rossi debuted on the Sky TV show “Hit Studio International”.

However, an official release did not materialise.

Before the year was out, Degville appeared on the late night TV Show “Timeshift” presented by Jono Coleman, performing another track, “Nuclear Powered Sex Machine”.

During the interview with Coleman, Degville advised that he had written enough material for two albums but first, the aforementioned track was to be included on a six-track EP/mini-album entitled World War 4 and was to be released in the New Year via Trojan Records.

1991

The expected EP did not see the light of day but in 1991, World War 4 was released as a 10-track vinyl/13-track CD solo album through Receiver Records (a subsidiary of Trojan).

1992

An immediate follow-up album was in the pipeline and in 1992, Degville promoted the fact through his fan club with the intention of releasing the track “Techno Crash” as a limited edition 12” to fan club members.

1994

However, this release did not come to fruition although the song was reworked and included on the Jungle Records SSS album The First Generation – Second Edition in 1994.

1998

Aside of some ad hoc SSS recordings in the mid-90s, Degville returned to performing with Tony James and Neal X in 1998 which led to three new SSS studio albums being released between 2000 and 2003.

2003

Degville then formally left SSS in the summer of 2003.

2004

In 2004, a new six-track EP entitled Smart1 was released.

The EP featured 4 previously unreleased Degville tracks which included “World War 4”, “Psychodelik”, “Slag in the Back (Of My Cadilliac)” and “Don’t Dabble with the Devil”.

Sputnik 2 undertook some short sets to promote the Smart1 EP with a number of different backing musicians including the two-piece band Dead Heaven.

2005

Subsequently, in 2005, Degville started to work with the Scottish production duo "DiSCOKiNGZ" (a.k.a. DV8), Paul Fitzgerald and Stephen Buxey.

They introduced a new track to the set, “Planet Bi”.

DiSCOKiNGZ went on to record, produce and remix versions of “Don’t Dabble with the Devil” and “Planet Bi”.

DiSCOKiNGZ also toured with Degville as part of the Sputnik2 band.

During 2005, Degville appeared on the BBC TV show Never Mind the Buzzcocks and confirmed that he was working on his new project, “Sci-Fi Superstars”.

2006

In February 2006, the album It’s So Chic to be a Sci-Fi Freak was released.

2008

In 2008, Degville started a collaboration with the Spanish brothers David and Santi Lluch, also known as The Hellbilly Club.

2009

However, it was not until 2009 that Degville announced that this collaboration was to now be formally taken forward under the band name of Sci-Fi Superstars with the 15-track Prophet of Freak album released in April.

Midway through 2009, Degville started to play live as Sigue Sigue Sputnik Electronic (SSSE) alongside Johann Weidemann (who took on the keyboards/FX).

2011

In April 2011, a re-recorded mastered version of “Flaunt it” was released, produced by producer/remixer Lloyd Price.

in June 2011, a limited 16-track mastered CD-R entitled Revisited was released which included a track called "Fascination" (originally a demo during the Sputnik 2 era) and a new, slower version of "Don't Dabble..."

entitled "Unknown Soul" re-envisaged by Lloyd.

A selection of re-recorded tracks from the Degville/SSS back catalogue made up the other tracks.

2012

October 2012 saw the release of Electronic DNA, an album full of new songs produced by Lloyd Price who was responsible for the co-writing of numerous tracks on the album.

Two video trailers were launched on YouTube over a three-week period prior to the release by Price, with the first showcasing a snippet of the track "Terror Bytes" and the second mixing a number of the songs.

The album was formally released in both download and limited-edition mastered CD-R formats.

Electronic DNA was the last full album release under the SSSE name.

2015

SSSE released a 12" vinyl single entitled "Timex Kid" in 2015.

Albums

2018

Degville has since recorded and performed material under the names Sputnik 2 - The Future, Sci-Fi-Superstars and Sigue Sigue Sputnik Electronic but from time to time has released further recordings under his own name (including the 2018 release of "Spirit in the Sky").

After Degville had decided to leave SSS, it was not long before he had set up his own website and set about performing and releasing music under the moniker of “Sputnik 2 – The Future” (although sometimes shortened to "Sputnik2").
