Melting Pot with Greg Wilson

Greg Wilson plays for us again at The Admiral Bar before we take a summer break. There's nothing quite like the intimate atmosphere of The Admiral and our world class sound system! This will be Greg's warm up before another action packed summer of festivals coming up. He's a regular at the likes of Bestival, Camp Bestival and Electric Elephant in Croatia amongst others. He's been busy over the last year launching his Super Weird Substance record label, which followed the club events that featured artists that would be showcased on the label: Kermit Leveridge and The Reynolds. These 12s have been big records for Melting Pot since their release. He's also joined up with Derek Kaye to create a formidable production duo. They have put together some fantastic remixes for Bryan Ferry, Steve Mason, Daniele Baldelli and more. His Soundcloud account has a feast of mixes to download and has well over 1 million plays! Greg is unashamedly one of our favourite guests and one that we all very much look forward to putting on. Melting Pot were one of the first clubs to have Greg play when he came out of his self imposed exile in December 2003. He had retired from DJing in 1983 whilst resident at Manchester’s legendary Hacienda, but not before he had placed his hallmark on the black music scene in the North of England, at clubs like Legend in Manchester and Wigan Pier, bringing the sounds of New York electro boogie to the UK. Greg continues to go from strength to strength, with worldwide DJ dates from USA to Japan, Australia, Brazil, all over Europe and the summer festival circuit. His BBC Essential Mix from 2009 is already thought of as one of the best in the 20 year old series - a total classic! In between that, his production work is still prodigious with various remixes and edits finding their way out on a plethora of labels, including his own Ruff Edits label. We will be treated to another electro, boogie, funk workout by the master himself, along with his trusty Revox reel to reel machine.
