Greg Wilson – July 2013

GREG WILSON’S EARLY 80’S FLOORFILLERS: 
A fascinating insight on how the fading Jazz-Funk scene gave way to the emerging Electro-Funk movement in the early 80’s, ‘Greg Wilson’s Early 80’s Floorfillers’, marks the 30th anniversary of when these tracks first appeared. Compiled from his record lists of the time, and unfolding month by month, Greg Wilson counts down the Top 10 Floorfillers played at his venues during the key years of ’82 and ’83. Featured, most notably, on his Tuesday sessions at Wigan Pier and Wednesday gatherings at Legend in Manchester, the most cutting-edge weekly black music nights of the era, these were the clubs most associated with the evolving Electro-Funk sound.

The majority of music played on the black scene in the UK was initially only available on import, mainly out of New York during this period, with the club nights described as ‘upfront’, meaning that the DJ’s were way ahead of the curve – what they played now, others played later, or not at all. Without these DJ’s, many now classic dance tracks would never have become UK hits (many without enjoying similar crossover success in the US) – the reason they were released here in the first place was because these specialist DJ’s were breaking them via the underground.

Things would change in a big way during those 2 years; we were entering the hybrid age for dance music, and the oncoming House and Techno and Hip Hop directions would all owe a huge debt to this era of dance alchemy and groove experimentation.

GREG WILSON'S EARLY 80'S FLOORFILLERS - JULY 1983

Berlin based Londoner, Nat Wendell plays records with the same unbridled passion and energy that he did back in '98. Since then, his connection with gritty, bass heavy sounds has been visceral, that demands you dance, and means the clubs he plays are always filled with energy and wholly locked into his groove. His up-tempo sounds draw on real emotions and feelings that always keep heads as busy as heels. From the deeper end of House the spectrum to more physical Techno offerings, he reaches for music that mirrors his own emotions and that never fails to hit the mark.
Nat has played all over the capital, London from 93 Feet East to Plan B, Crucifix Lane to Vibe Bar including Wire in Leeds, as well as further afield around Europe - more recently in Brno, Czech Republic & new hometown, Berlin. He translates these experiences of seeing how and why music moves people—as well as the lessons picked up on his worldly travels, to inform the music he makes. It is hardware-based machines that allow real and raw, hands on approach where Nat teases out subtle new sounds, refreshing textures and compelling grooves.

"I thought I’d take it back to my roots with this mix, Deep Soulful House - those who know my Soul Aspiration mix series [started over 10 years ago] know where I’m coming from. 

Imagine a Sexy Deep House Sunday in your favourite club or a stage at a festival, in the sun..."

The mix was recorded live on 2x Technics with a old rusty mixer.

Scarlett O’Malley brings the energy and enthusiasm of youth combined with a wealth of musical knowledge way beyond her years. Born and raised in West London but now making her mark around Europe, she is a new breed of DJ doing things on her own terms. Her tireless passion for the scene has made her one of online radio’s busiest talents. She is well known and respected for interviewing legends and trailblazers with a uniquely down-to-earth but probing style on stations like Foundation FM and Whynow radio and she has a monthly residency with The Vinyl Factory. She also hosts and produces her own Youth Club podcast which merges her passion for music, history and subculture. She runs her own party and mix series The Soul Exchange.

"I wanted to head to the later, darker and slightly heavier side of the club with this mix. Think 4am in a sweaty corner of Corsica! I love house music with all my heart, especially early 90s house music and a lot of the tunes in this mix stems from those early sounds, there are acid overtones in a lot of the music and that underground tribal sound. A house mix in its entirety, there are also breaks and a little techno touch with a ton of groovy basslines in tow. Heavier music with soul!"

SlothBoogie Guestmix #321 - Scarlett O'Malley

Faro ran two hours of groove-heavy disco and deep house. Sunshine filled selections from the word go.

Faro - February 2022

Mick Wilson and August Artier explore a deeper underground club sound with this 90 min mix, crossing over between house and techno with slight electro and breakbeat references thrown in for good measure. 

To capture the essence of an intimate dance floor experience the mix was recorded live in front of a studio audience, (a child and a cat). The musical journey slowly guides you through the darker side of dance music, treating you to the sounds that you would expect to hear in a small hidden underground club away from the flashing lights of the mainstream. Partially mixed across vinyl and digital platforms featuring some new cuts as well as treasured B sides the mix ebbs and flows as it weaves its way deftly from start to finish to what can be expected now that we’ve returned to the dance floor.

I played a hugely enjoyable 8 hour marathon at Kantine am Berghain in Berlin last Thursday, and although I wasn’t able to record the whole night, I did manage to get the first 3 hours and the final hour and a half. So this is a mix in 2 parts – the first 185 minutes a downtempo groove fest, whilst from 3.05.26 onwards we’re into the final furlongs of the party with proceedings much more upbeat.

Launched in 2003 in San Francisco by A Plus D, Bootie was the first club night dedicated solely to the burgeoning artform of the bootleg mashup -- and is now the biggest mashup event in the world, with regular parties in several cities on four continents. Voted "Best Club Night" for the past eight years, Bootie keeps your brain guessing and body dancing with creative song combinations, mixing and matching every musical genre, era, and style into one big dance party. Providing the soundtrack for the A.D.D. generation -- and free mashup CDs given away like candy -- it's a place where everyone is welcome.

This is Bootie’s annual compilation of our best mashups of the past year, all mega-mixed together so it fits on an old-school CD. It’s basically a 79-minute summary of an entire night at Bootie, from the build-up on the dance floor to the hands-up floor bangers to the drunken off-the-rails sing-alongs to the chilled-out come-down, to the slow jam at the end. Put it on for your own personal Bootie party!

DJ Dates: https://blog.gregwilson.co.uk/upcoming-dj-dates/
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.
