GREG WILSON

Greg began DJing in 1975 and is regarded as one of the most important figures on the UK dance scene.

He enjoyed hugely popular residencies in the early eighties at WIGAN PIER and Manchester's majorly influential LEGENDS.

In 1983 he became the first ‘dance music’ resident at Manchester's now legendary HACIENDA club.

Greg returned to spinning records 2 decades later, with red-hot appearances at the ELECTRIC CHAIR, FABRIC, BACK TO BASICS, ASYLUM and SUB CLUB.

In 2005 NUPHONIC'S TIRK Records released ‘Credit to the Edit’, a compilation of re-edits spanning Greg's entire career.

‘Greg Wilson is the Originator’
UNABOMBERS / ELECTRIC CHAIR

‘The Electro Grandaddy!’
MR SCRUFF

‘A genuine old skool innovator from back in the day’
NORMAN JAY MBE

‘Greg is a cornerstone of UK dance music’
TOM FINDLAY / GROOVE ARMADA

‘You can’t afford to miss legendary 1980’s electro-funk DJ Greg Wilson as he returns to the fray’
THE GUARDIAN GIG GUIDE

‘Greg Wilson is the best DJ for me and always will be’
ANDY MEECHAM OF CHICKEN LIPS

“At the time Legend was the closest thing to New York…I loved Greg Wilson as a DJ”
MIKE PICKERING / HACIENDA

‘The whole b boy scene in Brighton started that night when you lot came down…when you taught me to scratch it was like a 5 minute 'look, that's how you do it' and I did a few cack-handed attempts. Then I went home and spent about the next month just working out how to do it’
NORMAN COOK

‘Greg Wilson played a huge part in bringing about the 80's northern house explosion, so show some flippin' respec’’
JOCKEY SLUT

‘Greg was truly inspirational for me. It was so great to hear a musical journey and learn so much about the history of mixing. Every track was a winner and so many I had never heard before’
RALPH LAWSON / BACK TO BASICS

I'm really, really looking forward to this.. :love:

Greg Wilson is such a massive influence in terms of basically kickstarting DJ culture in the UK and first exposing us to the then little-known disco, electro/hip hop and modern soul music that we now know and love.

Check out this article taken from Wax Poetics about 12 x 12 inches that influenced him: http://www.electrofunkroots.co.uk/lists/12x12.html

And then there's his re-edits - that instrumental version of Kool & The Gang's "Open Sesame" has just killed it everytime I've played the thing. Don't miss this! :)
