30 years of independence – A Guy Called Gerald

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 movement with his ’88 classic ‘Voodoo Ray’ and ‘Pacific State’ (as a founding member of 808 State) and went on to lay down the blueprint for jungle / drum n bass. Eleven albums and 30 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.

AGCG continues to be in demand at clubs worldwide using a vast patchwork of past, present and future experimentation effortlessly between acid house through abstract tech breaks into dreamscapes of futuristic oscillations. At Glastonbury Festival for the last 3 years he has been invited to perform on Funktion One’s Ambisonic Experimental system – a six stack full-sphere surround sound technique. In 2019 he continues to celebrate 30 years performing Live in Session at world class festivals such as Vivid – Live at the Sydney Opera House and this special one off show in small intimate, underground club in Melbourne at Geddes Lane Ballroom – always True School.

“UK club culture has many people to thank for transforming the imported sound of America into the biggest youth movement my generation has experienced, but nobody else has redefined it so much with the character and soul of Britishness, creating music for both the feet and the head, and indelibly altering our cultural landscape.” Joe Roberts, DJ Magazine
