Greg Wilson


Hop on in the boogie portal and lets take a trip back.. back.. way back to the super sounds of the 70's with my main man of funk, Greg Wilson. As you may have known, this Electro/Funk master had quite a bangin' Essential Mix this past month as he slapped down some mad tracks on the BBC. Starting his DJ career in the year of 1975 and becoming one of the most influential turntablists in the UK, Greg has been bringing us beats for quite sometime. After retiring in 1983 the man returns two decades later to reclaim his place on the funk throne, and by the sound of this Essential mix, he deserves it!
