It is as bewildering as it is unfair to consider only some of the regions of a country as immense and culturally diverse as Brazil when we think about its immense musical heritage. A common trend that ends up distancing us from a vast universe that lies far beyond the usual southeastern soundscapes and deprives us of delicious surprises like the ones a scene as lively as Belém do Pará's has in store for us. The same that shaped Bernardo Pinheiro's talents and made him one of the most daring and versatile artists of his generation.
Growing up in a home filled with the essential stimuli to the maturing process that turns art lovers into makers, his talents ended up taking shape through practically all the aspects that make up the creation and dissemination of our rich musicality: selector, producer, promoter, protector, or whatever else was needed to fulfill those tasks. And each one of the expressions of his artistic will and vision are manifested in some way all over a career that extends itself for more than two decades, across Brazil and throughout the world.
From Baile Tropical, a project he created alongside Patricktør4 to promote the same Brazilian aural plurality that feeds his repertoire, to his interventions in classics by fellow countrymen such as Fafá de Belém, Leila Pinheiro and other renowned interpreters of Brazilian music such as Djavan, Emílio Santiago, Marcos Valle and Gonzaguinha, the main urge remains is the same: to work this opulent raw material in every possible way. This is what orients him through the rhythmic and geographic immensity of the country to transcend its borders, in an itinerancy that is guided by the mining of musical gems and driven by the desire to share his findings with the public.
This trajectory not only includes visits to the booths of Brasilian venues that are renowned bastions of revelry such as D-Edge, Trackers and Heavy House, as well as Santa Catarina's Don't Tell Mama, it also counts memorable performances at the stages of festivals as diverse as Se Rasgum and Vai Tapajós back in his homeland, Rec Beat in Recife, Mareh Music and Marisco in São Paulo, all the to Virada dos Lençóis in Maranhão and Rio, relentlessly criss-crossing the country. Moreover, this itinerary includes a variety of spaces such as legendary studios and record stores or any other of those special locations where our communion with music takes place, under any pretext or format.
This same drive is transferred unbroken to exquisite musical pieces that comprise a solid collection of authorial releases, gracing the catalog of labels such as Barefoot Beats, Cocada Music, Bongo Synth, Kampana Records, Too Slow to Disco, All About Disco and Midnight Riot. Each of these show his inventiveness shining brightly as he transposes from one universe to another, with both precision and devotion, the full notion of the dance floor and the vivid experience of dance ingrained in a career that has traveled the world while mutating through a range of genres that encompasses Drum & Bass to Disco and House and pretty much everything in between.
A journey that is quite eclectic , never erratic, for its steered by the type of artistic personality and maturity forged along a route that is itself punctuated by expressive moments including all kinds of creative intervention and festive invention: reenergizing classics and reinvigorating traditions, moving bodies and conjuring emotions, all done on and for the dancefloor.

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.
