Recording from Melting Pot at The Admiral in Glasgow 03.05.15.

If you asked me what's consistently been my favourite regular port of call during the past decade or so, Melting Pot would immediately spring to mind. It's everything you want in a club night – a knowledgeable crowd really up for the party, a wonderful sound system, and promoted by a crew who clearly care about that attention to detail that makes a night extra special. Last Sunday was the first time I experienced the new layout at The Admiral, which is a definite improvement, giving the room even more of a club vibe. Believe me, if Melting Pot was in London it would be generally acknowledged as one of the top UK underground club nights of the modern era.

MELTING POT @ THE ADMIRAL GLASGOW 03.05.15 (greg wilson live mix)

Recording from my final appearance at the Garden Festival in Croatia earlier this month when I played the Main Stage on the Friday night. The Garden, of course, was a gathering close to my heart - I'd appeared there every year from 2007 onwards, enjoying many memorable nights and days in Zadar, Tisno and on the Adriatic. Best wishes to Charlotte, Gail, Eddie & Nick and the crew behind the Garden, as well as Dave Harvey, who takes over the event next year, re-branding as Love International, and hopefully building from the solid legacy now in place.

Thanks for all the fun, love and good vibes I've experienced throughout these past 9 summers.

Psychemagik ‘Mink & Shoes’ (greg wilson edit)

*now available to download via Bandcamp: https://psychemagik.bandcamp.com/track/mink-shoes-ft-navid-izadi-greg-wilson-edit-psychemagik

115 bpm

Never previously shared.

I’m really into the latest Psychemagik single, ‘Milk & Shoes’, which features vocalist Navid Izadi over a solid mid-tempo acid groove – a section of the track originally surfacing on an ‘anti-hipster’ Smirnoff Vodka advert last year. It’s an impressive production and would certainly get my vote as one of the best dance tracks of 2015.

I put together my own edit to play out, as is my wont, which Dan & Tom from Psychemagik were happy for me to share on SoundCloud. It’s just a combination of vocal and dub versions really, plus some additional ambience via a scattering of samples I’ve introduced – that’s pretty much it, a less is more approach.

Psychemagik 'Mink & Shoes' (greg wilson edit)

GREG WILSON @ THE GARAGE LIVERPOOL 09.04.16

Festival No.6 has been a yearly highlight of recent times, its location unique. Tucked away on the North Wales coast in a magical village and famous as the location for the classic ’60s TV show ‘The Prisoner’, Portmeirion is truly a place plucked out of the imagination – an Italian fantasy creation of architect Clough Williams-Ellis, who designed and built it over a 50-year period.

Unfortunately the September weather often fails to rise to the occasion, which was apparently the case on Saturday. I played on the Sunday, my 3rd appearance at Village Limits in its enchanted woodland environment, complete with floating dancefloor (you don’t see one of those every day) beneath a huge mirrorball. 

As we set out on the drive it was in hope, rather than expectation, that the rain would hold off, and I’m pleased to report that the gods were with us, people able to dance to their heart's content without getting soaked wet through in the process. It turned out to be a fitting Village Limits finale, not just for this year, but until the festival returns – next year they’ve decided to take a sabbatical to re-strategize for the future, with many people left wondering if this could be the last one, at least in its current guise.

If so, it’ll certainly be missed by my friends and family – we always arrive pretty mob handed, lots of people heading in from Merseyside and Manchester, linking up with others from far and wide. I have to say that the production and artist liaison was outstanding this year, everyone invested in what they’re doing and setting the right environment for those performing. Special thanks to Amy and Jenna, such lovely people to be looking after you.

The full recording is now up on SoundCloud, available to stream/download. It was a gig that was sandwiched between an afternoon talk in the Dome Gallery and closing the VIP area between 11-1, which was big fun!

I really hope Festival No.6 will be back after a year’s hiatus, there's nothing quite like it. If not there’ll be many happy memories of gigs in a variety of special spaces. Its surreal quality is something that sets it apart, and all the creative set-building in the world can only provide a façade of what here is real and permanent. 

But even with all that, it comes down to the crowds you play for, and those at No.6 make the most of the surroundings, regardless of the weather, partying through a weekend like no other. Thanks to all of you who’ve partied away to the tunes I’ve played there during the past 6 years on this spectacular festival site.

Recorded at Manning Bar on 17.11.18 as part of the Rio Revel (linked to the Return To Rio festival At Wiseman Ferry in New South Wales, where I appeared the previous week).

Recorded in Electric as part of the recent Brixton Disco Festival. I played between 8pm-10.30, directly before Evelyn Champagne King performed. I began as the doors opened, the room filling up in no time – I really enjoy this type of scenario where I can commence on a downtempo groove, gradually building to a more frantic conclusion.

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.
