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.

Dj Saul Bliss has been involved in the dance scene  for 20 years promoting and djing and more recently producing electronic music. 

Sauls years behind the decks have taken him from London to literally the other side of the world and back having moved from London in 1997 to take up residency in the best clubs Western Australia had to offer. What was suppose to be a 3 month trip down under turned into a nine year stay when he was offered a residency after 2 weeks on landing with his record box. In that time he graced every decent pair of 1210’s there was and the highlight of that time in the southern hemisphere was his showcase set at the opening night of 3000 capacity Jaan night club in Bali.

His dedication to good music, whatever it’s sub-genre, his ability to read a crowd and then tease them into submission, and the pure optimism of his ‘let’s get this party started’ attitude have all been central to the attention and respect he has attracted from the diverse range of clubs, DJs, producers and promoters that he has worked with over the years.

Based in London from late 2005 working at the world famous MTV studios in Camden he has found himself in demand playing everywhere from Manchester (Tangled) London (Herbal,Medicine,Ministry,Turnmills,Canvas) and Ibiza (Eden,El Divino,PLastik Beach Club) as well as managing to find time to promote his own Jambasha club nights in the capital. Saul also regulary dj's along side clubbing Heavyweight brands Hed Kandi, Kissdafunk, Cream and Kinki Malinki whilst scooping the Dusted dj competition crown. 

More recently he has called Ibiza and Australia home as he follows his endless musical summer across continents. A full summer drenched in the hedonistic mecca of the 'The White Isle' has honed his musical tastes and forced him into the studio to launch a new collaboration with long time friends, Armadare.

During his time globe trotting his tastes have grown to encompass the many different strands of music and the breadth of styles with which he is comfortable is strongly evident in his sets. Saul’s influences began in hip-hop and ‘rave’ as it was called back in the day, but his unique sound encompasses breaks, electro, tech, house, all-the-while delivering fat, driving beats and cleverly executed cuts and samples. 

Whether it is a warm up set in an intimate bar or full on late night party banger he never fails to deliver what demanded from the dance floor. A true innovator, never an imitator… 

"music is a drug I am truly addicted to it! I know it sounds cheesy but it’s the truth and do get moody if I don’t have my fix. I can’t imagine my world without music in it and I think this comes across when I get in the saddle. I truly love it!" 

See you on the floor!

Sensation commenced in Amsterdam in 2000, and since then over a million people across the world have experienced one of the most spectacular dance and music phenomenons in the world.

The first ever Sensation took place at the Amsterdam ArenA – home of Ajax football club, and was experienced by 20,000 clubbers. The following year, Sensation as we know it was born. As a tribute to his brother Miles, who helped found ID&T before sadly dying in a car accident, Duncan Stutterheim, Sensation CEO, asked visitors to dress in white as people did at Miles’ funeral. Numbers had doubled from the first year, and eighty percent of the 40,000 attendees did so, creating an image so staggering that the dress code has remained the same ever since.

Sensation has expanded beyond Amsterdam, with shows in countries across Europe including Germany, Belgium, Russia and Poland. Keep checking the tour schedule for 2009 – Sensation is planned to take place in 22 countries to date, including Australia, Spain, UK, South America, and more… Sensation will be coming to a city near you!
