Saturday 9th February
at the Basing House
22.00-06.00
A NIGHT WITH
A Guy Called Gerald
Taking the A Night With... baton in February is A Guy Called Gerald. Something of a hidden gem, Gerald is considered the gateway between Chicago house / Detroit Techno and the UK dance music explosion in the late 80s.
He formed 808 State with a drum machine, a 303, 2 Roland SH101s and 2 other humans. His collaborations stem from Frankie Knuckles, Goldie, Finley Quaye and Derrick May through to Herbie Hancock, has remixed for David Bowie, Lamb, Stone Roses, and The Orb.
When the history of postmodern dance music is written he is ubiquitous: his visions, his stylistic versatility and open mindedness had a huge influence on the development of global dance culture. Very early on, he experimented with acid house and helped pioneer the style that was later called jungle and drum“n“bass. Fiercely independent we“re really looking forward to hearing what his 8 hour mandate has in store.
Tickets £10 / £15
