10 November: Byrd Out, DEYA Brewery, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England |
DetailsA Guy Called Gerald - Live In Session at DEYA Venue Deya Brewery ̸ DEYA x Byrd Out Series #5 A Guy Called Gerald is UK Dance Music royalty. He kick started Europe’s Acid House frenzy releasing the first UK acid house record, the ’88 classic ‘Voodoo Ray’. As part of seminal group 808 State he was responsible for the club classic ‘Pacific State’. And with 'Black Secret Technology' he charted a new course for Jungle, an album frequently cited as the best in the genre (FACT puts it at the 4th best album of the '90s full stop). He is one of dance music's most unassuming heroes (DJ Mag) and we're thrilled to bring him to DEYA to perform Live In Session. These shows see Gerald using a vast patchwork of past, present and future sounds, experimenting effortlessly between early acid house through abstract tech breaks into dreamscapes of futuristic oscillations. A Guy Called Gerald regularly preforms at the likes of Fabric and leading festivals including Red Bull and Gala, so it's a real treat to have him here. We're bringing in additional speaker capacity for this one. Don't sleep on the tickets as this one will sell out. "A Guy Called Gerald created tracks that defined a scene and a generation" [The Guardian] "A dance music deity" [RA] "A practitioner of the densest, most exotic-sounding jungle" [Pitchfork] "One of the most formative selectors and innovators in dance music history, British or otherwise" [Bandcamp] First Wave £13; Second Wave £15; On The Door £18.

14 May: A Decade Of Hectors / Club Nacht, Mash House, Edinburgh, Scotland |
DetailsA Guy Called Gerald [classics set] ⥊ Club_Nacht ⥊ A decade of Hect㋡rs Venue The Mash House ̸ RM 2: RA PICK On Saturday 14th May at The Mash House, we are delighted to bring you the 10th birthday celebrations of Scotland's soundest midweek shindig, Hectors. Headlining the party is an artist who has been a purveyor of the good times to people in the scene for over 30 years. A real trailblazer for dance music - the one and only, A Guy Called Gerald!!! House and techno innovator, Gerald Simpson, has found a successful voice in a wide variety of different genres. Starting with Chicago house and moving through Detroit techno, acid house, electro, hardcore techno, and drum'n'bass, Gerald's been an influential contributor to most of recent dance music's most important stopping points. Clearly a paragraph doesn’t do Gerald justice and you have to seize such an opportunity to see Gerald play a very rare Scottish appearance 🏴 A Guy Called Gerald will play a one-off classics set (he is the man behind the likes of seminal records Voodoo Ray and Pacific State after all). Gerald hasn’t played a club in Edinburgh in over 15 years (he did play for our friends at The Syndicate at 99 Hanover back in 2014), so this is a real coup for us ㋡ |

This time, we are inviting a real inspiration in the B.A.D. office - A Guy Called Gerald.

Talking of inspirations… we are honoured to invite another pioneer of dance music; artist, DJ, producer & radio presener, DJ Flight. A foundation of drum n bass, Flight has a long and celebrated career in dance music, including shows from BBC 1XTRA to the Prison Radio Association, a multi award-winning charity which runs the world’s only national station for prisoners, and aims to reduce reoffending through the power of radio. She’s produced the acclaimed Windrush Stories podcast, and has taken her music into the art & film worlds to great acclaim. A proper polymath, coming to grace the decks, alongside MC Chickaboo. Joining Gerald & DJ Flight is breakthrough star Sheba Q, bringing her deep, deep knowledge of jungle & clash sounds to the fore, as well as B.A.D.’s very own O.N.A, a student of breaks of all shapes and sizes, bringing the heat over from his Refuge Worldwide residency.
