Damn! Greg Wilson has such a following in Brighton – he might as well pack up and move down. Having only just played a set in February at The Jazz place, he is back by popular demand. Let’s welcome the man to source out the funk once again.
…Electro-Funk’s legacy is huge. It announced the computer age and seduced a generation with its drum machines, synthesizers, sequencers, dub mixes, bonus beats and samples… Its influences lay not only with Kraftwerk, the Human League and Gary Numan, but with Miles Davis, Sly Stone, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Norman Whitfield and George Clinton?
- Greg Wilson
Over the years Greg has remixed artists such as Chaka Khan, Kool & the Gang, Yello, Human League, Chic, Talking Heads, Rockers Revenge, Brenda Taylor, Scritti Politti, Chicken Lips, Groove Armada and Grace Jones – the list goes on. Expect some Revox reel-to-reel tape recorder action and enough healthy funk to make Stevie Wonder see again. So do it, whip out those old Chaka khan and George Clinton records. You know it makes sense.
Tickets: 412 Fashion – Middle Street, Rounder Records – Brighton Square, Dance 2 – Western Road
