Born and raised across the River Mersey from Liverpool, Greg Wilson is one of the original DJs who introduced British club audiences to the revolutionary dance music sounds coming out of New York City: disco, electro-funk, and hip-hop. A resident at Manchester’s legendary Hacienda, he introduced a whole new generation of clubbers to the art of (re-)editing, through his ‘Credit To The Edit’ compilations and popular reel-to-reel sets.
