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 Legend, having originally started out in his hometown, New Brighton. A pioneer of mixing in the UK, he became the first ‘dance music’ specialist hired for a regular weekly session at Manchester’s now legendary Haçienda club in 1983. Greg was instrumental in breaking the new electronic, post-disco records coming out of New York, a sound he has dubbed ‘Electro-Funk’.

In 2003 he set up electrofunkroots, a website documenting this crucial era in the evolution of dance culture. After a two decade hiatus from the booth, he returned to DJing and soon welcomed bookings throughout Europe and, subsequently, worldwide.

Greg was the first DJ to mix live on British TV, putting together the first UK radio mixes of their type for Piccadilly 261 in Manchester and showing a certain Norman Cook (later Fatboy Slim) how to scratch.

Nominated by DJ Magazine for outstanding contribution, and also named amongst their top twenty remixers of all-time, Greg’s remix credits include Grace Jones, The XX, Groove Armada, Bryan Ferry, Confidence Man, Gilberto Gil and Simian Mobile Disco, whilst he’s edited tracks by A Guy Called Gerald, Talking Heads, O.M.D., Electronic, Imagination and Missy Elliot.

In January 2009 Greg’s reputation was further enhanced when his Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 received almost universal acclaim and was selected as one of 10 classics that spanned the show’s near 17 year history.

Greg’s Blog, ‘Being A DJ’, was launched in June 2010 for observations on various aspects of club culture now an online touchstone for an ever-increasing amount of dance enthusiasts and aficionados.

In August 2010 he co-curated areas at the inaugural Vintage Festival at Goodwood, which was named ‘Best New Festival’ at the UK Festival Awards.

He has produced a series of documentary podcasts, Time Capsule, Random Influences and Early 80’s Floorfillers, as well as the long-running blog series, Living To Music.

Greg has given talks on music and DJ culture at a number events at venues The Tate Gallery in Liverpool and London's Southbank and Institute Of Contemporary Arts, whilst in 2013 he was invited onto a panel alongside legendary figures Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder @ ADE in Amsterdam. 

In 2014 he unveiled the multi-media label Super Weird Substance, focusing on recording and live events. In 2015, the label released 8 vinyl singles, brought together in the 2 CD comp, 'Greg Wilson Presents Super Weird Substance'. September 2015 saw a memorable Festival No.6 Happening in Portmeirion and Greg rounded off the year with the Liverpool-based celebration of the 40th anniversary of his first club date in 1975 as well as being presented with DJ Magazine's Industry Icon award.

Greg launched his Credit To The Edit club collective at 2016's Festival No.6 and since then has taken it to Liverpool, Berlin, Brixton, Bethnal Green and finally back to Portmeirion for Festival No.6 2017.

2017 saw his label host the epic 14 Hour Super Weird Happening at Liverpool's Florrie, following a mixtape collaboration with Alan Moore, who also appeared at the Happening, whilst it also saw the digital release of The Super Weird Society's 'Gone With The Vibe', released the following year on the first Substance Select 12" vinyl alongside 'The Ghosts Of Watling Street', 'The Best Is Yet To Come' and 'Summer Came My Way'. 2018 also saw the release of Vol.3 in Greg's long-running Credit To The Edit compilation series.

After a handful of further releases, the label was put into hibernation with the onset of covid. Diversifying, ‘Greg Wilson’s Discotheque Archives’ was issued during 2020 lockdown as a limited run paperback, with more books, both Wilson’s own projects and by other authors, now planned.

Formada em 2009, a banda Afroelectro cria a sua identidade sonora revisitando o continente africano através do contato com artistas e a sua produção sonora mais comtemporânea, da vivência direta de alguns integrantes da banda com músicos de lá e da experiência de habitar uma grande metrópole como São Paulo, que tem sido a grande catalisadora da cultura brasileira e do mundo. É o lugar onde o côco e a embolada dialogam com o hip-hop, onde o rock encontra o camdomblé, onde a tradição encontra o novo.

A cultura brasileira é encontrada com muita força na música do Afroelectro, principalmente nos versos e nas partes cantadas. Cantos de cultura popular de diferentes regiões do país como os cantos de Tambor de Crioula de Tabocado Maranhão (trazidos para São Paulo pelo Pai Euclides da Casa Fanti-Ashanti), versos de Cavalo-Marinho originários de Nazaré da Mata (Pernambuco), cantos de capoeira e de Candomblé são colocados em evidência nas músicas do grupo.

Em 2012 o Afroelectro lança seu primeiro disco, resultado de um ano de trabalho entre horas de estúdio e apresentações ao vivo, assim criando um album diferenciado em experimentos rítmicos e sonoros mas ao mesmo tempo acessível e dançante. Produzido por Sérgio Machado e Michael Ruzitschka, o disco conta ainda com as participações de Chico Cesar, Kiko Dinucci, Siba, do multiinstrumentista Antônio Loureiro além dos percussionistas Felipe Roseno e Romulo Nardes do grupo Bixiga 70.
Afroelectro é composto pelos musicos Sérgio Machado (bateria, teclados, programações e vocais), Michael Ruzitschka (guitarras e vocais), João Taubkin(baixo-elétrico e vocais), Mauricio Badé (percussão e vocais) e Denis Duarte(loops, percussão e vocais).
