A Guy Called Gerald
Live

Saturday 28 March 2026
Acid House Pioneer
Limited Availability

Boundary pushing electronic music from one of Britain’s great dance innovators.

Instrumental in shaping the landscape of UK dance music for over thirty years, A Guy Called Gerald will bring a genre bending 90-minute live, improvised set to the Howard Assembly Room, after a Q&A (with details to follow).

Rising to prominence with acid house anthem Voodoo Ray, released as his first solo single in 1988, A Guy Called Gerald also co-founded 808 state who debuted with Newbuild in the same year, along with the iconic track Pacific State in 1989. Inspired first by soul and jazz, and later by New York electro-funk, Chicago Acid House and Detroit Techno, he went on to release pioneering jungle album 28 Gun Bad Boy in 1992 before the critically acclaimed classic Black Street Technology in 1995.

Still known for his independent spirit and refusal to compromise, A Guy Called Gerald continues to tour worldwide, bringing his “true school” electronic sound to audiences. This is a rare chance to catch him in Leeds and a must-see for electronic music enthusiasts and anyone interested in the roots of UK dance culture.

Don’t forget to join us in Kino after the show along with an all-star cast of Leeds’ selectors.

A Guy Called Gerald and Special Guests presented by Link Music Lab x Standard Time!

A Guy Called Gerald returns to Toronto for a rare and special night on February 27 at Standard Time.

Link Music Lab and Standard Time join forces to present an intimate session with one of the most influential figures in electronic and dance music. A true original, A Guy Called Gerald has spent decades pushing sound forward with uncompromising vision and relentless innovation.

Breaking beats since 1988, Gerald is a foundational force in global electronic music and a trailblazer for Black British culture. From the era-defining acid classic “Voodoo Ray” to his role as a founding member of 808 State on “Pacific State,” his work helped shape the DNA of modern club music. With nine albums and over 50 releases, his sound spans acid house, techno, jungle, and forward-leaning electronic forms — always delivered with true-school intensity and future-minded edge.

As part of its ongoing mandate, Link Music Lab shines a light on international and local artists from the under-represented underground scene, expanding perspectives on electronic music shaped by global, Asian, and Middle Eastern influences. From high-energy club rhythms to immersive sound art, Link Music Lab continues to champion EBM, electro, techno, acid, and all things synth.
