A Guy Called Gerald
Flo-Ride
Sugoi

Promising a host of new material and the re-release of choice back catalogue material, innovator Gerald Simpson returns begins his new venture with this exhilarating three-tracker. “Flo-Ride” watches a blaring bass hurtle into the future alongside frantic keys, screaming strings and coarse beats, on a track that is the product of years spent producing various forms of futuristic music. The B Side contains a couple of more straightforward Technoid efforts. “Under The Way” sees layered beats, electric keys and a weighty bass give guidance, whilst the wonderfully good-natured “Visitor” moves courtesy of pumped up beats, synth calm and dazzling keys.

A Guy Called Gerald
Flo-Ride / Under The Way / Visitor
Sugoi

A Guy Called Gerald steps back into the world of self-run labels and launches his new imprint Sugoi. Four to the floor techno track "Flo-Ride" drives along at 135bpm, while "Under The Way" is a quirky bass-driven charger for the DJs. Lastly there's the ultra-deep "Visitor", described by Gerald as 'moon dub'.

A Guy Called Gerald Single Review: Flo-Ride

It’s been long-rumoured, but here is proof in the pudding that Gerald is finally getting back to his roots with a new label and some analogue wares to keep the old school devotees on form. This is a strictly limited white-label edition of the very first release on his brand new Sugoi imprint, moving away from his K7 output towards warm, on-it 4/4 acid variations and bass-heavy cuts that you’ll all know and love. These sound like they could have been recorded 15 years ago – just what we where hoping for. Hurry!
