A Guy Called Gerald (live), Robin Ball

Continuing its regular sonic memoirs of electronic music, Memory Box returns on Friday 11 December with A Guy Called Gerald doing a special “Live Acid Jam”.

"For me Live music is exactly that. Playing live for me is coming directly from me. I can't tell you what is going to happen but expect a performance of electronic music made in real time with a nod to the past. Taste the future." A Guy Called Gerald

An iconic name in dance music, A Guy Called Gerald stands out for consistent innovation, excellence and refusal to compromise. A Guy Called Gerald kick started Europe’s acid house frenzy with his ’88 classic ‘Voodoo Ray’ and 'Pacific State' (as part of 808 State) and went on to lay down the blueprint for jungle / drum n bass. Nine albums and 25 years of independence later, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic dance music touring worldwide bringing his "true school" flavour to a world overloaded with pop pap.

Although his remixes are relatively enviable including the likes of David Bowie, Cabaret Voltaire, Black Uhuru, Finley Quaye, Lamb, Tricky and The Stone Roses, it is Gerald’s own productions and refusal to plough anyone’s furrow but his own which has marked him out. A Guy Called Gerald is responsible for the birth of British dance music as you know it today and continues to explore what is possible both in the studio and in the club with his "Live in Session" performances.

Memory Box is a project that celebrates the influences of today’s electronic music scene and encapsulates some of the most memorable moments in its time. A Memory Box party covers the history of electronic club music, hearing its origins from the legends and luminaries whilst exploring the influences the past has on today's music and how we shape the future.

In attesa della nuova data per Richard Dorfmeister Scatology/Event presenta il secondo artista di Trilogy A Guy Called Gerald.

Discutere e conoscere un personaggio come Gerald Simpson (questo il vero nome di A Guy Called Gerald) è un vero onore perchè ti scontri con un pezzo della musica europea e aggiungiamolo anche mondiale, uno dei primi dj a sperimentare le variazioni di bassi che hanno dato vita alla jungle e alla drum’n'bass, ha fatto evolvere l’idea dell’acid house ed è stato precursore per moltiE’ il 1988 quando nascono gli 808 State. Il loro fine era quello di mischiare i ritmi dell’electro con le sonorità dell’acid house. Il primo tentativo di mettere in scena questo crossover dà come frutti “Pacific state”, nel giro di poche settimane un hit dei ravers, un inno che ricorda “Sueno Latino” e fa da colonna sonora alla Summer Of Love del 1989. Nel frattempo, A Guy Called Gerald, insieme a Graham Massey fondatore degli 808 State.

A GUY CALLED GERALD
(MANCHESTER, UK - SINCE 1988)
Da dove inizia “A Guy Called Gerald”? Un tesoro nascosto, il gateway tra house Chicago / Detroit Techno e l'esplosione musica dance del Regno Unito negli ultimi anni '80. E' il primo produttore britannico acid house e probabilmente il primo produttore ad avere due brani dance strumentali nelle classifiche inglesi. Ha formato 808 State con una drum machine, un 303, 2 Roland SH101s e 2 altri esseri umani. Le sue collaborazioni coinvolgono da Frankie Knuckles, Goldie, Finley Quaye e Derrick maggio a Herbie Hancock, remixato per David Bowie, Agnello, Stone Roses, Black Uhuru, Can, Tricky, Roman Fluegel e The Orb e in tour con i New Order, Tricky e Bebel Gilberto.
Le sue visioni, la sua versatilità stilistica e apertura mentale ha avuto una grande influenza sullo sviluppo della cultura della dance mondiale. Molto presto, ha sperimentato acid house, considerato come uno dei pionieri dello stile che è stato poi chiamato Jungle e drum'n'bass. Fieramente indipendente si sta preparando per una serie di nuove uscite, il lancio del suo negozio on-line e il tour in tutto il mondo.

FRANCO B
(SERENDIPITY - MONDO MUSIQUE)
Nato nel 1980, assisano, inizia a fare il DJ tra il 1994 e il 1995 e a frequentare da subito le situazioni underground locali, rimanendo affascinato dalla house music e dalle sonorità progressive sia nelle forme più melodiche e spirituali che in quelle più minimali - pur ascoltando da bambino quasi solo musica rock e pop degli anni 80 e primi 90. Da lì l'approfondimento è stato continuo, coltivando generi degli anni passati come il funk, la disco, la musica afro e la prima musica elettronica. Da sempre purista del vinile, di cui ne è anche collezionista, ama fondere tutte le sue esperienze musicali nei suoi DJ set in base alle situazioni in cui si trova; resident delle Dancity Nights e del Serendipity club di Foligno, ha partecipato a diverse situazioni underground umbre (Collective, Bellaciao, Urban Club ecc...) e italiane in città come Roma, Bologna, Firenze, fino all'esperienza estera a Berlino con il suo gruppo Dancity. Grande frequentatore di club ed eventi in varie parti del mondo per cultura personale e per forte passio-ne musicale. Nel settembre 2014, insieme al suo socio Marco Ragni, apre il negozio di dischi Mondo Musique: uno spazio polivalente volto ad accogliere non solo gli appassionati di musica, ma anche eventi come mostre e perfor-mance di vario genere.

A Guy Called Gerald, Dicky Trisco

You can’t speak about the history of UK electronic dance music without saying the words A Guy Called Gerald. It’s that simple. Gerald Simpson was a pioneer, an innovator and an inspiration to a whole generation of DJs and producers who followed in his footsteps. He is a bona fide dance music legend.

Let's go way back…Gerald grew up around Manchester and was influenced by many genres of black dance music, but especially the electrofunk and electro sounds that emerged in the city during the early to mid 1980s. However it was the Acid House explosion at the end of that decade that really signalled that A Guy Called Gerald's time had truly come.

A key player in the UK dance scene that grew out of the influential sounds being exported over from New York, Chicago and Detroit to fuel underground clubs and raves, he produced a number of massive releases for the Warp label in the late 1980s, such as the all time classic Voodoo Ray. He was also a member of seminal UK dance act 808 State who’s Pacific State is regularly listed as one of the most influential dance tracks of all time. So to cut a long story short, this man is basically personally responsible for many of what became the anthems of UK dance music.

Unlike other leading figures who were there at the dawn on Acid House and Rave Culture, Gerald however has never sold out to commercialism and has stayed true to his underground roots releasing quality sounds and touring constantly playing his live sets or DJing. This attitude has kept him at the top of his game with a constant global touring schedule plus appearances at only the very best underground festivals such as Electric Elephant in Croatia.

The last time we had him at A Night With…Gerald blew the roof off The Reading Rooms. And he partied like it was 1999…what a night it was! We expect nothing less from The Man Called Gerald this time.

DO NOT MISS THIS!!! A legend is in town…..

Quality support on the night is provided by local hero Dicky Trisco.

We will celebrate our 4th anniversary, drink and party all evening, sailing down the river Thames onboard amazing Golden Flame boat with A Guy Called Gerald who will be playing live. He has released his music on labels such as Perlon, Bosconi, !K7, Sugoi or Highgrade records, had two appearances on Boiler room and is simply one of the true legends of electronic music.

An iconic name in dance music, A Guy Called Gerald stands out for consistent innovation, excellence and refusal to compromise. A Guy Called Gerald kick started Europe’s acid house frenzy with his ’88 classic ‘Voodoo Ray’ and 'Pacific State' (as part of 808 State) and went on to lay down the blueprint for jungle / drum n bass.

A Guy Called Gerald is responsible for the birth of British dance music as you know it today and continues to explore what is possible both in the studio and in the club with his "Live in Session" performances.

BOAT:

A Guy Called Gerald:

Where do you start with A Guy Called Gerald? A hidden gem, the gateway between Chicago house / Detroit Techno and the UK dance music explosion in the late 80s. He is one of a few special producers who entered dance music in the jacking zone. He is the first UK acid house producer and probably the first producer to have two instrumental dance tracks in the UK charts at the same. He formed 808 State with a drum machine, a 303, 2 Roland SH101s and 2 other humans. His collaborations stem from Frankie Knuckles, Goldie, Finley Quaye and Derrick May through to Herbie Hancock, remixed for David Bowie, Lamb, Stone Roses, Black Uhuru, Can, Tricky, Roman Fluegel and The Orb and toured with New Order, Tricky and Bebel Gilberto.

2008 marks 20 years of A Guy Called Gerald in dance music and to celebrate a definitive collection of A Guy Called Gerald’s back catalogue is planned for release featuring rare and unreleased tracks and remixes. In July a remaster of 1995’s jungle classic “Black Secret Technology” was reissued. And in August “In Ya Head feat. Mia” came out on Berlin’s favourite Perlon Records.

He continues to tour bringing his studio into the clubs worldwide playing anywhere from 2 to now legendary 14 hour LIVE sets – no DJ software, no gimmicks, just raw, pure, undiluted AGCG riddums strictly for the dance floor.

Jonas Kopp:

Few would dispute Jonas Kopp as being one of the most prominent and exciting figures to emerge from Argentina in recent years. An accomplished producer, in-demand remixer and versatile performer, he has fast transitioned from Buenos Aires’ best-kept secret to one of contemporary house and techno’s leading lights, on a par with genre-defying luminaries such as Levon Vincent, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettman and Ryan Elliot.

Jonas’ music career began early on; by 19 years old he had made his first full length CD under the name of Area 64 whilst working as resident DJ at a popular FM radio station. In 2006 he made his debut proper on Pfirter’s MindTrip Music imprint, and has been flirting with a myriad of styles ever since. But whether it’s deep Chicago-inspired house (Curle), or driving basement-ready techno (Stroboscopic Artefacts, Krill Music, Ostgut Ton), cavernous basslines and mesmerising rhythms flavour his eclectic discography throughout. It is this distinct and powerful signature that make records like ‘Reforce’—his first four track EP for Deeply Rooted House, and most diverse yet—possible. Where the surging and the abstract, the uplifting and the slow-burner all find themselves side-by-side.

We have limited number of spaces for this event so please contact either James George Davison or Jordan Diston to book you place.

More about Riff Raff ->

'It initially began 12 years ago as a release launch party for my first release as Section 75 with a track called Hermits Curve on Source Of Gravity recordings but then became a monthly event to cater for everybody in the North East of England who likes twisted electronic house and techno music. Luckily I caught the back end of the UK rave era in the 90’s as I was attending massive events at the Sugar Shack, Shindig, Back 2 Basics, Gatecrasher as well as Ibiza and the vibe of those party’s back then was completely different to many events now because people literally went to these events for the music and to just let themselves go and dance like nobody was watching, it’s this atmosphere that we keep alive at riffraff, basically you leave all ego and problems at the door and come into our event to be as one with the people in there and with the artists and DJ’s music. The bookings are always cutting edge and up front with some classics thrown in for good measure and we only put on DJ’s whose music we like for a start but also if a person is contributing to the scene in some way and has got our respect and they play good music that we love then they will find themselves in our gaff.'

With a fully interactive and underpinning storyline, the festival has the scope to mix cowboys with pirates and aliens with Aztec temples across their 20 themed main stages and the countless smaller shop fronts and hidden beach and forest parties. This sprawling metropolis provides a temporary haven of hidden surprises, pulsating music and immersive audio-visuals to allow each of its 45,000 citizens to go on an ultimate voyage of discovery within the labyrinth-esque streets.

All the theatrics and mind-blowing stage sets are brought to life with a soundtrack of ska, folk, gypsy, reggae, world, punk, pirate, disco, electro-swing, jazz, blue-grass, breaks, bass, jungle, techno and much more!

808 is the most fun you’ll have watching a film about a drum machine you’ll have this year. With impressive detail, it charts the genesis and seismic impact of arguably the most important musical instrument of our time: the Roland TR-808 drum machine. A glittering array of musicians tell us what the machine means to them, including: Afrika Bambaataa; Arthur Baker; Questlove; Phil Collins; Rick Rubin; Damon Albarn; Diplo and New Order.

With special guest DJs playing 808-inspired beats post-screening.

"It was a fantastic night, featuring an 808 / TR-8 demonstration from the guys at Roland and Graham Massey of 808 State, the sell out screening of the film in NFT1 followed by the largest scale Q&A I've ever been part of... and of course the party afterwards, featuring a live rebuild set by Graham and A Guy Called Gerald."

We’re announcing four massive headliners in the next few weeks that will be the cherry on the top of what’s shaping up to be an incredible event.

ATLANTIC CLUB ! More info: https://www.facebook.com/events/1491307334425014/

Atlantic is a majestic building, built in 1907, with its distinctive modernist cataloged as a Historic-Artistic Architectural Heritage of Barcelona, surrounded by gardens and the sensation to stay on top of Barcelona. Has an interior room with a crystal wall that allow the sunlight, and a big outside terrace.
Expect the unexpected with 14 hours of party, where you can listen different kinds of music taken at the highest level.
Wouldn't expect anything less than good music, great vibes and a fun and intimate crowd with some of the finest artists from UK, Amsterdam, Berlin and USA.
Advance tickets are a must! You would not want to miss this intimate party!

A Guy Called Gerald starts with this when all was a hidden gem, the gateway between Chicago House / Detroit Techno and the UK dance music blast in the late 80s. He is one of the most special producers who entered jacking dance music in the zone, and the first UK acid house producer. Never wanting to be stereotyped into any style of music particularly, his sound continued to develop, 2015 marks 27 years of A Guy Called Gerald in dance music.

Tom Trago's relationship with music is particularly intense. "I feel this physical need to make music every day. It's like my body needs it as much as it needs food, water or sunshine", he says. Right now, swallow's immersion in music is almost complete. An internationally renowned DJ, producer, live performer and label owner with three critically acclaimed albums to his name, the Dutchman divides his time between all-day studio sessions, live shows and DJ gigs all over the world.

San Soda has-been playing around the world pretty much non-stop for the last half decade. Most often found playing vinyl, preferably on rotary mixers and in his own unique way, Belgian but Berlin based talent likes his careful selections do the talking. It shows in his predictably unpredictable DJ sets, which are made up of carefully chosen unearthed gems from years of digging. In Berlin he exclusively plays Panorama Bar. Co-founder of the label We Play House, which has-been the home to most of it his textured, analogue house and techno releases

Young Marco has-been on the forefront of the city's bustling underground scene for nearly a decade. Coming up through several infamous residencies, most predominantly the seminal Trouw, he quickly gained notoriety for his genre-defying and balls DJ sets with a unique take on dance music, playing everything from lost proto-house, percussive gamelan, European synth oddities, and voodoo jack trax to afro disco sounds.

Anyone who has been to a Horse Meat Disco will understand that night those guys know how to throw a party. After a momentous 2013, which saw them host parties album sold out all around the world, including massive summer festivals Glastonbury, Bestival and Vivid. Channeling the dance scene of 70s and 80s New York expect deep disco, Italo, punk funk, house, electro and a wee bit of techno. And fun. Definitely fun.

Mr. Ties is among the most Important and innovating figures of the contemporary scene and this is on many levels. His dj-sets contain everything from disco, techno and house to all sorts of weirdness mixed together in an extremely original way, communicating his deep love for the immense diversity of all types of music that makes him vibrate.
Spain and Barcelona debut of the Germany king prodigy Homopatik.

And the new duo in England, Selecta Bros, to a house will take care acid ..
With his roots firmly etched in the Acid House era, JB (aka Jon Barnet) have continued to develop as one of London's key underground house music figures, and has kept His fingers in all of the right foot throughout his eponymous career as a highly respected regarded and DJ on London's underground circuit

SURPRISES LIE AROUND EVERY CORNER;
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.

Birthdays call for an extra-special celebration. You can’t get more extra-special than the line up we have put together as a toast to our first year promoting parties in Bristol.

Having previously brought 808 State, Graeme Park and Copyright to the West Country, we have secured the services of two more stone cold legends – Mancunian acid house pioneer A GUY CALLED GERALD, and New York 80s/90s deep-house heavyweight VICTOR SIMONELLI. With the line-up being completed by a strong local line-up – including the city’s own veteran house hero, Deli G, rising tribal house/techno fusionists Bacchus, and the resident DJs from Studio 94 and Empathy – this party looks set to be another belter.

A Guy Called Gerald should need little introduction. A former breakdancer and footworker turned acid house producer, he was one of the founder members of 808 State and had a hand in producing the act’s seminal 1988 set, Newbuild. His stint as a member was short-lived, though, as he quickly went solo to produce one of the greatest house records of all time, the peerless “Voodoo Ray”. It dominated dancefloors in the summer of ‘88, rocketed up the charts, and inspired a whole generation of British DJs to turn to music production independently.

Since then, Gerald Simpson has continued to push things forward, turning his hand to drum & bass, techno, deep house and electronic jazz, recording a string of superb albums for labels including CBS, Studio !K7 and Laboratory Instinct. For Parallel Dimensions, he’ll be playing a rare live set, jamming out acid and techno in the legendary surroundings of Lakota. He’ll be joined in the main room by local duo Bacchus, and the our very own residents.

Room Two: Hosted by Studio 94’s fast-rising Boogie Nights party, is being headlined by another legend, New York house DJ/producer Victor Simonelli. A prolific producer since the turn of the 1990s, Simonelli has been responsible for some of the best house music to come out of New York, recording for a dizzying array of labels (including Nu Groove, Tribal America, Fourth Floor, Sub-Urban, UMM, King Street Sounds, Vibe and Playtime), under a similarly wide range of aliases (Groove Committee, Cloud 9, Solution). The Brooklyn native is a rare visitor to these shores, so his appearance at Parallel Dimensions should not be missed. He’ll be joined in room two by Parallel Dimensions regular Deli G (a house, garage and disco player on the Bristol scene since the 1980s), and the Studio 94 residents.

Room 3: Hosted by long-running Bristol clubbing institution Empathy. For the best part of 15 years, the Empathy crew has been joining the dots between tech-house, progressive house, deep house and techno, throwing parties at a wide range of Bristol venues (including Dojo, Timbuk2 and Bar Latino). They’ll be bringing a little of that flavour to Parallel Dimensions’ first birthday, turning Lakota’s intimate third room into a sweaty, heads-down dance.

To make the party even more magical, Lakota will be dressed in immersive décor throughout, and interactive performers will roam the club’s corridors, rooms, bars and outside spaces. Parallel Dimensions are asking clubbers to come dressed in “second summer of love rave attire”, to truly get into the retro-futurist party spirit. As Parallel Dimensions founder Laila McKenzie says: “Expect the unexpected!”

With the buzz still live from our party with 808 State; we offer to you an invitation to celebrate with us. We want to ensure that EVERYONE is able to join in the festivities, we have slashed our ticket prices as a one time only offer to allow yourself to be fully submerged into house music's heritage.

Vampire Records, in association with Evolution D&B, return to Piccadilly Institute after the sensational 'Identity Switch' launch party back in December, this time for the 'Sourced' E.P series launch event,with a stellar line up.

A Guy Called Gerald
(Jungle Set)
A.G.C.G has proven to be among the most innovative modern music figures.
Though mostly known for his Acid House & Techno ventures, his ground breaking contributions to jungle/ drum & bass music such as '28 Gun Bad Boy' and the 'Black Secret Technology' LP are turning points within the scene's history.
AGCG will perform a rare jungle/D&B set, the ones you do not want to miss if you are a d&b head.

Grooverider
2015 marks the 25th year anniversary for one of Drum & Bass scene's flagship Dj's,the mighty Grooverider, and also sees the return of Prototype recordings plus the release of 'The Avenger' under the Codename John moniker on Metalheadz.
The Rider returns @ The Institute just a few days after the 25 years of 'Fabio & Grooverider' celebrations at The Forum.
Expect 25 years of drum & bass rhythms.

Phil Source
Getting things going will be one of Evolution Drum & Bass residents, Phil Source.
Phil is not new to the scene.
As part of Source Direct played a pivotal role in Drum & Bass getting the recognition it deserved back in the nineties.
In 2015 Phil is still pushing the boundaries through his Vampire Records imprint.

Soul Intent
Soul Intent aka Alex Judd has been DJ'ing since he was 15. On first hearing a DJ Randall mix whilst at school he knew he wanted to become a DJ.In 2006 Grooverider, on his Friday night Radio1 show said "I'm expecting big things from this guy!" .And Alex didnt prove him wrong with big releases on Vampire Records, Commercial Suicide, Mac II, 31, Samurai, Project 51, Creative Source, Blindside, Influence, Cylon and Renegade Hardware.

Strago
London based Dj & producer Javier Serrano aka Strago hails from Madrid, Spain.
In 97, a trip to London and visits to The End, and Metalheadz Sunday Sessions at The Blue Note got him instantly hooked to Drum&Bass.
His style on the decks is best described as dark and dynamic.As a producer his style goes from tech neuro to deep rolling dark and moody beats, releasing tunes for Vampire, DSCI4, Medschool,

Getting things started will be Vampire Records very own artists Inztance b2b None Decay.

The night will be hosted by the Emcee Recordings boss,the 'Voice of Drum & Bass', the infamous MC GQ.

Sat 09/05 Porto Sant’Elpidio / Harmonized / LIVE

RBMA pres. A Guy Called Gerald and DJ Pierre @ Porto Sant'Elpidio
Saturday May 09

Time: 11:00 PM
Venue: Harmonized
Address: Via Mar Egeo 89, Porto Sant'Elpidio

A Guy Called Gerald (live), DJ Pierre, Low.E

Red Bull Music Academy sets up a very special night with a live set by Mancunian techno pioneer A Guy Called Gerald, alongside NYC-via-Chicago acid house trailblazer DJ Pierre on decks at Harmonized in Porto Sant'Elpidio on May 9th.

This guy called Gerald Simpson has done a lot to shape British electronic music into what it is today. Starting off in Manchester, he became a founding member of 808 State, who he left to release his seminal acid house classic Voodoo Ray in 1989. With his label Juice Box Records, he helped lay the foundations for what became jungle and drum‘n’bass and launched his classic album Black Secret Technology which remains one of the genre's coveted milestone. After relocating to Berlin, Gerald has started to focus on the dancefloors once again, releasing tracks on !K7, Laboratory Instinct, Perlon and keeping proof his musical mastery works outside of short lived trends.

Chicago-born Nathaniel Pierre Jones aka DJ Pierre is a true dance music pioneer. Besides recording with his myriad of aliases, it was his early acid house group Phuture that changed the game forever with the Acid Tracks EP in 1987, an undisputed classic and key moment in dance music. After heading to New York 1990, Pierre became in-house producer and head of A&R at Strictly Rhythm and was responsible for releasing another string of hugely influential tracks. With his signature Wild Pitch sound he graced the world with a plethora of timeless tracks and remixes that influenced DJs and producers around the globe in years to come.

GET.TRONiC with SELECTA BROS - JB & A GUY CALLED GERALD

15:00–17:00

Hoxton FM
203 Hackney Road, E2 8JL London, United Kingdom

On FRIDAY 17TH April from 3-5PM GET.TRONiC is joined by JB & A Guy Called GERALD aka Selecta Bros for a pre party chat and guest mix online ahead of there night at Basing House.

Selecta Bros is A Guy Called Gerald and JB - two music heads with well over 25 years of in-depth experience in dance music.

"We had to join forces in order to save dance music from the evil powers of Emperor Ming. There has been a serious lack of groove and we decided enough was enough and something had to done.

"We first met when JB was doing Retox parties at Sosho. JB invited Gerald down to play and he was totally blown away by the vibe that actually by then he had forgotten existed. Gerald felt that dance music had been calcified so when he went to Retox it was clear it had not totally died. Over the years we started to play more and more together and an illustrious partnership was formed.

"The Selecta Bros music selection is more dynamic than what you'll hear in your average parties today. We focus on selecting our music the way it used to be. It is not genre-based, it's music based. It's not just minimal, deep house or techno, the idea is to tell a story and to be a journey through the best of dance music. But we are not just dictating to the dancefloor we are reading the dancefloor the old school way. With the new Selecta label in the pipeline and Selecta Bros tracks and remixes out soon.

Proof of the pudding is in the tasting. So come down and check us out. "

GET.TRONiC every Friday 3-5PM BST Tune in via www.hoxton.fm

Hope you can join us :-)

.... what a *massive* night here kiddies, double bang headliners with *true legend* A GUY CALLED GERALD and JIGSAW ... what ?!

The Antidote presents...

Where do you start with A Guy Called Gerald? A hidden gem, the gateway between Chicago house / Detroit Techno and the UK dance music explosion in the late 80s. He is one of a few special producers who entered dance music in the jacking zone. He is the first UK acid house producer and probably the first producer to have two instrumental dance tracks in the UK charts at the same. He formed 808 State with a drum machine, a 303, 2 Roland SH101s and 2 other humans. His collaborations stem from Frankie Knuckles, Goldie, Finley Quaye and Derrick May through to Herbie Hancock, remixed for David Bowie, Lamb, Stone Roses, Black Uhuru, Can, Tricky, Roman Fluegel and The Orb and toured with New Order, Tricky and Bebel Gilberto.

When the history of postmodern dance music is written he is ubiquitous: his visions, his stylistic versatility and open mindedness had a huge influence on the development of global dance culture. Very early on, he experimented with acid house and helped pioneer the style that was later called jungle and drum'n'bass. Fiercely independent he's preparing himself for a string of new releases, the launch of his online shop and touring worldwide.

The Manchester scene in the late 80s radiated from the Hacienda. It was a place which grew to be a breeding ground for the likes of Laurent Garnier and Chemical Brothers and in the Summer of Love the Hacienda had a theme tune called Voodoo Ray. It was A Guy Called Gerald's first release in 1988 and became a seminal classic that put British house music firmly on the map. As part of 808 State’s first incarnation he co-produced another Hacienda classic, Pacific State. He soon decided to concentrate on his solo project and toured worldwide (and with a quarter of a ton of equipment!) performing live.

In the early 90s he launched his own label Juice Box and released a series of 12"s that were the blueprint to what would become jungle. In 1992 he compiled these releases into the proto jungle classic "28 Gun Bad Boy" album. In 1995 he followed up with the definitive "Black Secret Technology" to critical acclaim. Black Secret Technology featured Finley's Rainbow with vocals by Finley Quaye and a collaboration with Goldie. Finley's Rainbow featured Finley Quaye who later re-released the tune on his debut album. In 2005 Knowledge Magazine ranked "28 Gun Bad Boy" EP was as the No. 1 jungle single of all time. His sound was an inspiration to many - Goldie, LTJ Bukem and DJ Krust have all stated his influence.

But never wanting to be stereotyped into any particular style of music his sound continued to develop. In 2000 he signed with !K7 Records and released "Essence" with guest vocals from singer/songwriter Wendy Page, Lady Kier and Finley Quaye. In 2005 the down tempo "To All Things What They Need". In 2005 he launched his Sugoi and Protechson labels. His latest album "Proto Acid / The Berlin Sessions", released on Berlin's Laboratory Instinct, is an infectious 71 minute continuous mix recorded live.

2008 marks 20 years of A Guy Called Gerald in dance music and to celebrate a definitive collection of A Guy Called Gerald’s back catalogue is planned for release featuring rare and unreleased tracks and remixes. In July a remaster of 1995’s jungle classic “Black Secret Technology” was reissued. And in August “In Ya Head feat. Mia” came out on Berlin’s favourite Perlon Records.

He continues to tour bringing his studio into the clubs worldwide playing anywhere from 2 to now legendary 14 hour LIVE sets – no DJ software, no gimmicks, just raw, pure, undiluted AGCG riddums strictly for the dancefloor.

A Guy Called Gerald, Wasabi Bytes

An iconic name in dance music, A Guy Called Gerald stands out for consistent innovation, excellence and refusal to compromise. A Guy Called Gerald kick started Europe’s acid house frenzy with his ’88 classic ‘Voodoo Ray’ and 'Pacific State' (as part of 808 State) and went on to lay down the blueprint for jungle / drum n bass.

Nine albums and 25 years of independence later, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic dance music touring worldwide bringing his "true school" flavour to a world overloaded with pop pap.

Although his remixes are relatively enviable including the likes of David Bowie, Cabaret Voltaire, Black Uhuru, Finley Quaye, Lamb, Tricky and The Stone Roses, it is Gerald’s own productions and refusal to plough anyone’s furrow but his own which has marked him out. A Guy Called Gerald is responsible for the birth of British dance music as you know it today and continues to explore what is possible both in the studio and in the club with his "Live in Session" performances.

He continues to be in demand worldwide with his Live In Session shows using a vast patchwork of past, present and future experimenting effortlessly between early acid house through abstract tech breaks into dreamscapes of futuristic oscillations.

Since 2012 he has a side project with Graham Massey (808 State) called REBUILD performing live jams on the Roland machines. “How Long Is Now” was released on Bosconi Records in 2012. A live album Silent Sound Spread Spectrum followed from the Society of Sound Series – a collaboration between Bowers & Wilkins & Real World Studios in 2013. He is currently working on new productions for his live shows and his “Sound Gallery” studio.

"I have decided the only way to give music to the people is raw and straight from the true school. I don't have to hide behind any trend or gimmicks. ie. analogue equipment and vinyl fetishism. I'm sorry to say but I still feel like I'm blazing the way forward only because everyone seems to be stuck in "retrogression" mode. Maybe they need a stop / start to get them out of the loop? I refuse to compromise when it comes to my sound. I realised that I'm the only real deal within dance music when I found it was impossible for me to sell out. This is the True School."

A GUY CALLED GERALD.

An iconic name in dance music, A Guy Called Gerald stands out for consistent innovation, excellence and refusal to compromise. A Guy Called Gerald kick started Europe’s acid house frenzy with his ’88 classic ‘Voodoo Ray’ and 'Pacific State' (as part of 808 State) and went on to lay down the blueprint for jungle / drum n bass. Nine albums and 25 years of independence later, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic dance music touring worldwide bringing his "true school" flavour to a world overloaded with pop pap.

Although his remixes are relatively enviable including the likes of David Bowie, Cabaret Voltaire, Black Uhuru, Finley Quaye, Lamb, Tricky and The Stone Roses, it is Gerald’s own productions and refusal to plough anyone’s furrow but his own which has marked him out. A Guy Called Gerald is responsible for the birth of British dance music as you know it today and continues to explore what is possible both in the studio and in the club with his "Live in Session" performances.

He continues to be in demand worldwide with his Live In Session shows using a vast patchwork of past, present and future experimenting effortlessly between early acid house through abstract tech breaks into dreamscapes of futuristic oscillations. Since 2012 he has a side project with Graham Massey (808 State) called REBUILD performing live jams on the Roland machines. “How Long Is Now” was released on Bosconi Records in 2012. A live album Silent Sound Spread Spectrum followed from the Society of Sound Series – a collaboration between Bowers & Wilkins & Real World Studios in 2013. He is currently working on new productions for his live shows and his “Sound Gallery” studio.

"I have decided the only way to give music to the people is raw and straight from the true school. I don't have to hide behind any trend or gimmicks. ie. analogue equipment and vinyl fetishism. I'm sorry to say but I still feel like I'm blazing the way forward only because everyone seems to be stuck in "retrogression" mode. Maybe they need a stop / start to get them out of the loop? I refuse to compromise when it comes to my sound. I realised that I'm the only real deal within dance music when I found it was impossible for me to sell out. This is the True School."
A Guy Called Gerald

"UK club culture has many people to thank for transforming the imported sound of America into the biggest youth movement my generation has experienced, but nobody else has redefined it so much with the character and soul of Britishness, creating music for both the feet and the head, and indelibly altering our cultural landscape." Joe Roberts, DJ Magazine

Piknic has gone fishing this week
Thank you Melbourne for an amazing show at our new home at The Paddock in Fed Square last week.. so many people went above and beyond to make this happen, especially all the good people at Federation Square who's faith in the project took it to the next level!! This weekend we are going to take a short break from Piknicing to make room for the annually held community festival stalwart - Moomba. Sunday 8th March - PIKNIC ELECTRONIK: HAS GONE FISHING! We will be back again on Sunday 15th March with a massive show Piknic Electronic #10 featuring A Guy Called Gerald (808 State Veteran), Suzanne Kraft (Running Back), Animals Dancing and local legend, Ransom.

Suzanne Kraft packs a punch. A moniker of Diego Herrera, the origins of the name is still shrouded in mystery; but trust us when we say that his music contains absolutely no cheese. As the creative director of Dub Lab, partner of Blasé (with Eddie Ruscha) AND a member of the psychedelic outfit ‘Pharaohs’ – it is fair to say that this hard working L.A home-slice has a lot on his plate. The latest in his line of tasteful treats -‘Renee Running’ (under his alias ‘Dude Energy’ - out on Animals Dancing Records) – is a Balearic-infused sizzler that even the most discerning palate can appreciate

Because you all have to miss out on a Piknic, and thats no fun so we are super excited to announce the addition of A Guy Called Gerald to the 15th of March! One of the founding members of 808 State, A Guy Called Gerald is an electronic music pioneer that has defined genres. Gerald Rydel Simpson was born in Manchester and now resides in Berlin, he is best known for his early work in the Manchester acid house scene in the late 1980s and the track "Voodoo Ray". At that time, he specialised in techno music produced using equipment such as the Roland TB-303 bass synthesiser and the TR-808 drum machine. Today he continues to tour bringing his studio into the clubs worldwide playing anywhere from 2 to now legendary 14 hour LIVE sets – no DJ software, no gimmicks, just raw, pure, undiluted AGCG rhythms strictly for the dancefloor. On Sunday 15th March he will be our very special guest alongside Running Backs, Suzanne Kraft... Don't Miss it!

A GUY CALLED GERALD
Det er svært at opsummere A Guy Called Geralds næsten tredive år som central aktør indenfor elektronisk musik. I slut-firserne var han med til at grundlægge acid house i England, og brød igennem til mainstreamen med anthemet 'Voodoo Ray'. Senere startede han Juice Box Records og var med til at bygge fundamentet til jungle og drum'n'bass. Efter at have været aktiv i snart tredive år er der ingen tvivl - elektronisk musik ville se meget anderledes ud hvis ikke for A Guy Called Gerald.

APEIRON CREW
Fire højtrespekterede kvinder, max ild bag pulten. Hvis du aldrig har oplevet Apeiron Crew live, er dette din mulighed for at melde dig ind i kulten. De har en finger med i spillet næsten overalt i det Københavnske natteliv, hvilket afspejles i deres alsidige selection, følelse for dansegulvet og hidsige energi på scenen. Forbered dig på at svede igennem.

POUL DIAMOND
Poul Diamond er en hollandsk pornomodel og -instruktør, bosiddende i Danmark. Han fungerer som yogalærer ved Nafa Yogacnter i København og fik sit navn i pressen da en sognepræst klagede over at Københavns Kommune yder støtte til skolen, der angiveligt drives af "en hollandsk baseret sex-sekt." Han har sammen med sin personlige assistent medvirket i en række tantrisk og spirituelt orienterede erotiske film. I hans fritid DJ'er han også old school chicago house.

For our first instalment we are proud to present a line up that reflects 100% of our philosophy.

360° Drum & Bass vibes are to be brought to you by A Guy Called Gerald, Fabio, Digital, Phil Source and Dj Destiny.

A Guy Called Gerald has proven to be among the most innovative modern music figures.
Though mostly known for his Acid House & Techno ventures, his groundbreaking contributions to jungle/ drum & bass music such as '28 Gun Bad Boy' and the 'Black Secret Technology' LP are turning points within the scene's history.
AGCG will perform a rare jungle/D&B set, the ones you do not want to miss if you are a d&b head.

If someone knows how to create that special midweek vibe then it's Fabio. Speed & Swerve are still mentioned as genre defining moments in D&B history.
Fabio touches down in Evolution in top form, ready to roll.

What better addition to this line up than Digital.
With releases under his belt like Niagra, Waterhouse Dub,Gateman & Deadline(just to name few),
Digital entered the Drum & Bass hall of fame a long time ago. The Phantom Audio boss comes to conquer in one of his rare London appearances.

Rounding things up will be Phil Source.
As part of Source Direct Phil played a major role in Drum & Bass getting the recognition deserved back in the 90's. In 2015 he still carries the flag, throughout his Vampire records imprint and by being one of Evolution D&B residents.

Warming up things for you is Dj Destiny.
Not very known yet but trust us Ladies & Gents this is a name to keep an eye on.

The night will be hosted by the lyrical talents of Mc Five Alive, one of the scenes most talented and respected mc's,

Tresor Meets Bosconi Records

Two of the most famous DJs in the world tonight in the most famous club in the world!

Trivia bit: did you know that A Guy Called Gerald was in the original formation of 808 State? If any European electronic dance music artist could claim to be on the pulse of the moment from the get go, it is of course A Guy Called Gerald. In the fiery pit of the “Madchester” late 80s acid house madness, he was already beginning to produce the first of his many legendary tracks. ‘Voodoo Ray’ was first played at the infamous Hacienda and later exploded to number 12 on the UK music charts, becoming the best-selling independently released single of 1989. Moving through the decades with innovative style changes and collaborations with the gods of the genre, he called Berlin his home in 2004. A historic figure with a biography too long to cite, since 2009 Gerald continues to release exclusives and previously unreleased back catalogue via his web-based labels A Guy Called Gerald Records, Sugoi and Protechshon on his website, as well as production work on Bosconi. Nick Anthony Simoncino is an Italian producer, Deejay and collector of vinyl for over eleven years and boasts a collection of over 10.000 vinyl records, mainly Chicago House, Techno Detroit and Garage 80’s. Inspired by the sound of vintage synths and drum machines, he started to utilize them in his productions, debuting on Mathematics Records in 2009. Rufus is to date one of the most forward-thinking and innovative DJs to emerge from the Italian electronic music scene. His restless research into both old school and the freshest forms of dance music have inspired many Italian artists gravitating around the Bosconi Records circuit and the Florence scene. His DJ sets focus on open-minded positive music, funky vibes, downbeat, garage-house deep and jackin house. In the Tresor Floor basement, Joey Beltram knows our turntables like the back of his hand. Standing behind our decks in the earliest incarnation of the club, he played his now legendary tracks to wide-eyed ravers and clubbers that had never heard such incredible sounds before. Joining the Tresor Records family, Joey Beltram released album after album of gorgeous and timeless electronica, and continues to give us club sets that seem like heaven on earth. Simpy put: a techno master at work.

A GUY CALLED GERALD
マンチェスターで生まれ、最も優れ、独創的、革新的で、先鋭的なテクノプロデューサーのひとり、A Guy Called Gerald。彼を語るときに欠かせない作品「Voodoo Ray」が88もの国でヒットしたことにより、彼の名は世界中に広まりました。この作品はおそらくイギリスの最初のハウスミュージックで、The Hacienda（ハシエンダ：イギリスのファクトリー・レコードがマンチェスターで経営していたクラブ）の時代の空気感をシミュレートし、音で表現したものでした。
Geraldは、マンチェスターのMoss Sideという街で生まれ、Spin Innというレコードショップに入り浸って育ちました。きわめて影響力の強い日曜夜のラジオ番組を担当していた地元のDJ、Stu Allenが、Geraldのデモテープをかけるときにこう紹介しました。「This one’s by......a guy called......Gerald（このテープは…えーっと…Geraldってヤツが作ったものです）」と。これが、彼の名前の由来となりました。マクドナルドでアルバイトをしていたGeraldでしたが、「Voodoo Ray」を出したことで彼は世界に羽ばたき、以来23年間にわたって活動を続けています。
A Guy Called Geraldは、米国、南アメリカ、ヨーロッパ、極東にわたって活動の場を広げ、活躍してきました。現在はヨーロピアンテクノの本場、ベルリンを拠点としています。80年代中期のアナログシンセとドラムマシンを使ったDJスタイルとは別れを告げようと決意した時に、A Guy Called Geraldの音楽制作のキャリアが始まりました。
BBCのラジオ番組、Radio One’s John Peel ShowのJohn PeelがGeraldを応援しひっきりなしにレコードをかけたことがきっかけとなって、Geraldは初のソロアルバム「Hot Lemonade」をリリースしました。ちなみにGeraldは、John Peel のために1990年、「Peel Session」を録音しています。その後、Sony Musicと契約して「Automannik」を制作。そのリードシングルの「FX」は、Geraldにとっての当時のヒーローのひとり、Derrick Mayがリミックスしたものです。才能豊かで自らの意志を持つアーティストにはよくあることですが、Geraldにとってもポップなヒット作を強く求められるようなメジャーレーベルでの経験はあまり良いものとは言えませんでした。彼は依然としてアンダーグラウンドに関心を持ち続けていて、彼の音楽はメジャーレーベルのシステムとは決して相容れなかったのです。1991年に自身のレーベルからリリースした「28 Gun Bad Boy」でブレイクビートに進出したGeraldは、90年代前半の後期レイブおよび立ち上がりつつあったジャングルシーンの牽引役のひとりとなりました。「Finley’s Rainbow」でFinley Quayeをブレイクさせ、95年の独創的なアルバム「Black Secret Technology」では新しい時代のサウンドの青写真を描き出しました。「Black Secret Technology」は2008年に再発売され、そのサウンドは今もなお先鋭的であることが証明されています。
1997年にニューヨークに移り、きわめて評価の高いベルリンのレーベル、Studio !K7のもとでアルバム「Essence」と「To All Things What They Need」をレコーディング。アメリカ同時多発テロ事件の余波を受けてイギリスに戻り、数年間をロンドンで過ごした後、再びベルリンへ。今もベルリンを拠点として、ベルリンのテクノシーンとヴァイヴの中で活動しています。直近の2枚のアルバム「Proto Acid」と「Tronic Jazz」（2010年にリリースされた9枚目のスタジオアルバム）は、ともに「The Berlin Sessions」シリーズの一部で、彼の制作能力の高さと格の違いを見せつけています。完成されたアーティストとしての進化と、彼やUnderground Resistance（米国のテクノユニットおよびレーベル）などをインスパイアした初期の伝説の、両方が感じられます。
クラス感があってヒップで著名な音楽フェスやクラブの求めに応じて、Geraldはイベントで「Live in Session」を見せています。これは2台のラップトップとキーボードを使った即興演奏で、彼自身の作品やクラシックのリミックスを披露するものです。彼のリミックスは、David Bowie、Cabaret Voltaire、Black Uhuru、Finley Quaye、Lamb、Tricky、D:Note、The Stone Rosesの「Fools Gold」など人もうらやむような素材を使ったものではありますが、まぎれもなくGerald自身の作品です。Geraldは革新し続け、より進化しています。ほかの誰かの畑を耕すなんてまっぴら。Gerald自身が畑を開拓しているのです。それは音楽活動を始めた時から、変わることがありません。

An iconic name in dance music, A Guy Called Gerald stands out for consistent innovation, excellence and refusal to compromise. A Guy Called Gerald kick started Europe’s acid house frenzy with his ’88 classic ‘Voodoo Ray’ and 'Pacific State' (as part of 808 State) and went on to lay down the blueprint for jungle / drum n bass. Nine albums and 25 years of independence later, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic dance music touring worldwide bringing his "true school" flavour to a world overloaded with pop pap.

Although his remixes are relatively enviable including the likes of David Bowie, Cabaret Voltaire, Black Uhuru, Finley Quaye, Lamb, Tricky and The Stone Roses, it is Gerald’s own productions and refusal to plough anyone’s furrow but his own which has marked him out. A Guy Called Gerald is responsible for the birth of British dance music as you know it today and continues to explore what is possible both in the studio and in the club with his "Live in Session" performances.

"I have decided the only way to give music to the people is raw and straight from the true school. I don't have to hide behind any trend or gimmicks. ie. analogue equipment and vinyl fetishism. I'm sorry to say but I still feel like I'm blazing the way forward only because everyone seems to be stuck in "retrogression" mode. Maybe they need a stop / start to get them out of the loop? I refuse to compromise when it comes to my sound. I realised that I'm the only real deal within dance music when I found it was impossible for me to sell out. This is the True School."

"UK club culture has many people to thank for transforming the imported sound of America into the biggest youth movement my generation has experienced, but nobody else has redefined it so much with the character and soul of Britishness, creating music for both the feet and the head, and indelibly altering our cultural landscape." Joe Roberts, DJ Magazine

2013 marks 25 years of independence and individual expression in music.
