A Guy Called Gerald

When it funks, it funks hard. Breaking Beats Since 1988. The gateway between Chicago house / Detroit Techno and the UK dance music explosion A Guy Called Gerald, the Godfather of the Beat returns to Margate, this August, at the Legendary Olbys for a monster DJ set to get your bodies funkin. 

Taking us on a full spectrum, multi genre, musical journey, at a Venue and on sound system, truly worthy of the bass and the funk. An iconic name in dance music, A Guy Called Gerald stands out for consistent innovation, excellence and refusal to compromise. A Guy Called Gerald kick started Europe’s acid house frenzy releasing the first UK acid house record, the ’88 classic ‘Voodoo Ray’ and 'Pacific State' and went on to lay down the blueprint for jungle / drum n bass.

Nine albums and 25 years of independence later, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic dance music touring worldwide bringing his "true school" flavour to a world overloaded with pop pap. Although his remixes are relatively enviable including the likes of David Bowie, Cabaret Voltaire, Black Uhuru, Finley Quaye, Lamb, Tricky and The Stone Roses, it is Gerald’s own productions and refusal to plough anyone’s furrow but his own which has marked him out. A Guy Called Gerald is responsible for the birth of British dance music as you know it today and continues to explore what is possible both in the studio and in the club with his "Live in Session" performances. 

Be quick! This will blow the roof off!
