  • UK electro pioneer DJ Greg Wilson returns with a label mix for 2020:Vision. Those who think dance music started in the late eighties, think again. Manchester DJ Greg Wilson started spinning in 1975, playing legendary clubs such as Wigan Pier in the seventies and the Hacienda back in 1983. He was even the first person ever to DJ on British telly: Twenty years later Wilson is back, playing old school electro and disco at his Music is Better night in Manchester, documenting the history of electro on his website, and putting out disco reedits on Tirk. Next up comes up a label compilation mixed for Ralph Lawson, which marries material from the 2020 Vision catalogue with Wilson’s trademark spins and overdubs. Originally Lawson planned to release a new mix of classic Wilson selections, but the project was thwarted due to licensing costs. Lawson describes the result as “very unique and something I couldn’t have come up with from my own label. I even found Greg picking out tracks where I had to ask, ‘What’s that one again?’ Embarrassing but true.” Tracklist 01 Matt Playford - Electronic Cretin 02 Boogie Corporation - Freak Inside 03 Random Factor - Second Principles 04 2020 Soundsystem - Hit The Fan 05 Spirit Catcher - Sweet Deal 06 Nick Chacona - Through The Door 07 Random Factor - Chocolate Factor 08 Boogie Corporation - Lay The Funk 09 Fred Everything - Without 10 Dubble D - Multiply 11 Wulf n Flow - Body Music 12 Fred Everything - Huggin' & Kissin' 13 Bobby Peru - Erotic Discourse 14 Spirit Catcher - Motown Spring ’2020 Vision’ mixed by Greg Wilson is out on 2020 Vision on June 30th, 2008.
