Heard that tune at Greg's live: it crazy dope!

Out of control..... sums everything up. Amazing !

More relevant than ever, ‘World Gone Crazy’ sums up many people’s thoughts in these turbulent times.

This version appeared on the 'Greg Wilson Presents Super Weird Substance' compilation, a GW edit featuring elements of both the club dub and original mix. It was not previously available on SoundCloud until now.

'World Gone Crazy' was the fourth 12" single on Super Weird Substance back in July 2015. Originally written in the early nineties as part of the Mind Body & Soul project Greg Wilson was then developing with singer Tracey Carmen, it was intended for an album that never was and only a demo version was ever recorded. 

Its lyrics identified an information age already spiralling out of control. Two decades on however, and it’s far beyond anything anyone could have imagined back then. Originally referencing the post-acid house generation, ‘a generation lost and disillusioned’ now becomes the sixties generation, growing old in a world even more corrupt and confused than the one they thought they’d change.

It was suggested that 'World Gone Crazy' would be perfect for Leeds singer/musician The Reverend Cleve Freckleton and gruff gravitas of The Reverend’s voice was exactly what the track needed, serving to give its words more poignancy now than when they were written. 

Channeling the fire and spectacle of a spiritual laden Deep South service, Cleve cuts a commanding figure, calling out the world’s wrongs from his sonic pulpit. 'World Gone Crazy' was adroitly programmed by Peza, with The Reynolds and the song’s original singer, Tracey Carmen, providing powerful bvox and Ché Wilson weighing in with funk-laced rhythm guitar.

The Reverend Cleve Freckleton & The Sinners 'World Gone Crazy' (GW Edit)

A multi-media label founded by DJ Greg Wilson, Super Weird Substance deals primarily with balearicpsychedelicdubdisco recordings whilst, on the live side, hosting sixties-styled ‘Happenings’ that include talks, art, bands and DJs.

Announcing its presence at the beginning of summer in 2014 – via the good vibes life-affirming mixtape ‘Blind Arcade Meets Super Weird Substance In The Morphogenetic Field’ – the label took five Super Weird Happenings across the country, whilst releasing a series of new recordings on vinyl, the next year. Eight singles were released between June and October, followed by a CD compilation, bringing together all of the singles as well as alternate versions and a special Greg Wilson mix.

Building on the success of a memorable Festival No.6 showcase in Portmeirion in 2015, Super Weird Substance returned in April 2017 with their most ambitious event to date, the 14 Hour Super Weird Happening at The Florrie. Prior to that Super Weird Substance collaborated with the man who bestowed their name, teaming up with Alan Moore and his Mandrillifesto project, Super Weird Substance created their second mixtape, ‘Alan Moore’s Mandrill Meets Super Weird Substance At The Arts Lab Apocalypse’, taking his acute social commentary and reinventing it within their own joyous sonic realm.

In 2018, the label returned to music with digital single, Gone With The Vibe and the first Substance Select EP. 2019 saw a new, younger energy introduced to the label, bringing with it new sounds, set to be unleashed in 2020, alongside Substance Select Vol.2, releasing Bella Technika remixes on vinyl.
