Greg Wilson

“Revisiting the underground black/dance music of the early-‘80s, initially played in the UK under the Jazz-Funk banner and, subsequently, following the emergence of Electro-Funk as the dominant direction on the black music scene, paving the way for the oncoming Hip Hop, House and Techno denominations, Greg Wilson’s two-hour monthly for Worldwide FM, ‘Early ‘80s Mixtape’, will consist of twelve interlocking parts, to culminate in a days-worth of quality classic and cult club tunes from 1980 through 1983.
Best-known during this period for his residencies at Legend in Manchester, Wigan Pier and later The Haçienda, Greg introduced a more electronic flavour to the existing black music scene, his regular mixes for Mike Shaft’s show on Piccadilly Radio, bringing this then underground music to the airwaves of Greater Manchester and beyond – his mixes spreading via cassette recordings of the show, copied and shared far and wide.”

“This is a mix I put together in 2005, documenting music that was played on the Jazz-Funk scene in the UK during the early 80’s. It illustrates how things would radically change in the upfront clubs as the decade unfolded, Jazz giving way to Electro as the driving force on the black scene (although Jazz would continue to play its part). I appreciate that Jazz is a ‘difficult’ form, and not to everyone’s taste, so I’m sure it’ll come as a surprise to many that once, at the most cutting-edge club nights of their era (at least if you were a black music enthusiast), most of these were big big tunes.”

“The objective of this monthly Time Capsule series was to build a veritable dance music archive, to help illustrate how the Disco era evolved from a UK perspective, which was so different to how things unfolded in the States. I did this by including the records that I bought and played in the clubs, month by month, giving background on the releases, whilst outlining my own early experience as a young upcoming DJ. Records from August 1977. Revisited August 2007.”
