Greg Wilson Essential Mix

Puh! Heute mal keine Sixties-Mukke. Gottseidank! (Mag mancher denken). Deswegen diesmal besser produzierte, modernere Musik: BBC Radio 1 ist bekannt für gute Radio-Shows und Dj Pete Tong macht schon seit einiger Zeit einige sehr hörenswerte.

Er hatte jetzt die englische Dj-Legende Greg Wilson eingeladen, einen Mix für die BBC-Show Essential Mix zusammenzustellen. Er schreibt:

Greg Wilson was one of the first DJs in the UK to mix two records together. He was a resident at the legendary Wigan Pier in the 1970-s and 1980-s. In 1983 he became the first DJ to host a weekly dance music night at Manchester Hacienda. Greg was the first DJ to mix live on British TV. He stopped DJing in 1984, but picked up his headphones again in 2003, playing at the likes of The Electric Chair, Fabric and Basics to widespread acclaim.

Greg Wilson hat auch immer wieder dancefloor-orientierte Edits von Soul/Funk/Boogie/Disco-Nummern produziert, und er spielt auch sehr exklusive in seinem Mix. (Im Bild oben erkennt man das daran, dass eine Revox-Bandmaschine auf dem Dj-Pult steht).

Das Groove Magazin in Person von Daniel Haaksman interviewte vor etwas über drei Jahren Greg Wilson. Ein sehr informatives Interview, nachzulesen bei Electrofunkroots: Wie die Tanzmusik in England elektronisch wurde.
