Celebrating 50 years behind the decks, legendary DJ and dance music pioneer Greg Wilson lands at Margate Arts Club for a very special extended set.
Widely recognised as one of the UK’s most influential DJs, Greg played a pivotal role in shaping the early British electro, funk and dance scene. From his groundbreaking residencies in Manchester during the early ’80s to introducing UK club audiences to the cutting-edge sounds coming out of New York, he helped define the language of modern DJ culture.
Known for his deep musical knowledge, impeccable record selection and audiophile-level appreciation of sound, Greg’s sets move effortlessly through electro, boogie, funk, disco, dub and cosmic grooves — always rooted in the dancefloor.
Half a century into his journey, he remains one of the most respected selectors in the world. Expect an extended vinyl-driven session, packed with rare records, heavyweight low-end and the kind of musical storytelling that only comes from decades of digging, listening and living the culture.
Whether you’re a dedicated dance music head, vinyl lover, or simply someone who wants to lose themselves on the dancefloor, this is a rare chance to experience a true pioneer doing what he does best.
50 years. One night. One dancefloor.
