Taking the A Night With... baton in February is [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1651"]A Guy Called Gerald[/url]. 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 [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1102"]808 State[/url] with a drum machine, a 303, 2 Roland SH101s and 2 other humans. His collaborations stem from [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=414"]Frankie Knuckles[/url], [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1390"]Goldie[/url], Finley Quaye and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=30"]Derrick May[/url] through to Herbie Hancock, has remixed for David Bowie, Lamb, Stone Roses, and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=38"]The Orb[/url].

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
