Greg Wilson is an honorary Manc born in Liverpool who is generally acknowledged as the godfather of the early eighties Manc electro scene. He is one of the first British DJ's to have used three turntables. Remembered for his nights at Legend and the Hacienda.

The first DJ to mix and scratch records live on UK TV, he forged an incredible early career with nights at Manchester's Legend, Wigan Pier and the iconic Hacienda.

DJ Greg Wilson also taught Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim the art of turntablism

Having taken time out he returned in '03 and connected with a younger audience, spreading his reach globally. Greg's Credit To The Edit compilations further cemented his reputation, as did his '09 BBC Radio One Essential Mix, voted in the Top 10 of all time!!!!

Unsure what to expect? It will be a hybrid sound of the best elements of soul, funk, disco, party hip-hop, classic dance and electro-funk edits put together seamlessly with lots of familiar sounds to surprise and entertain.
