Shiiiiiit, can't believe this hasn't made it into the FMB archives yet, being such a huge classic it was clearly to obvious a choice and slipped past our ridiculously tight grasp. Anyhow here it is, a proper slice of acid house from '88, produced by legend Gerald Simpson, responsible for the likes of 808 State. Can't believe this actually made the charts back then (Nr 12!!), kust highlights how many fuckin' idiots are running about these days!! A GUY CALLED [...]
Acieeeed! So we had a neat idea: why not theme RA.303 on Roland's seminal TB-303 synth, the sound of acid house? In order to execute this ingenious plan we turned to Gerald Simpson, undoubtedly the UK's most revered proponent of the sound. This is largely thanks to a 1988 number named "Voodoo Ray," which we guess you may have heard before. Gerald was also a founding member of 808 State, who themselves (or perhaps Gerald solo, but that's another story) wrote an all-time classic in "Pacific State." You may have also heard of jungle. Well, Gerald had [...]
You'll have notice that there hasn't been a Goin' Old School for a few days, that's 'cos it's going to be a weekly column now. Some weeks there will be loads of vids, some weeks there will be just the one, depends how we're feeling… The Minimal Synth crowd are crazy for Eleven Pond 's 1986 hit 'Watching Trees', they're pretty Italo though A Guy Called Gerald 's 'Voodoo Ray', one of the greatest dance records ever [...]

Mancunian House legend Gerald Simpson aka A Guy Called Gerald offers up a brand new mix of 802s Hip-Hop and B-Boy. Simpson himself describes it as a tribute to Kool Herc, whose parties and DJ technique played a huge role in the formative years of Hip-Hop. "He was a young Jamaican American and he just wanted to throw a party. His uncle had given him the best sound system in the neighborhood, yet he had no venue to play at and he was broke. What Kool Herc chose to do could have [...]
When I was growing up in the antediluvian epoch, all rap made before '92 was essentially worthless to me. That was my 11th year - when grainy Yo! MTV Rap clips of Guerillas in tha Mist, Reggie Noble, Pharcyde, and Masta Ace murdered all previous musical preconceptions. That was also the year of The Chronic . I grew up in Los Angeles. You can figure out the rest. My interaction with the old school has also been vaguely archeological. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy the classic cuts from Kane, Rakim, Run-DMC. And there were [...]

For the first time in the history of Stockholm club scene one super promoter boldy goes where nobody every gone before. Booking the giants of Acid House to one venue, for one Valborg party, on april the 30th. The say Chigaco Acid House was re-invented in Manchester in late 80s by a Guy Called Gerald and 808 State and introduced to the masses of clubbers by Djs like Jon Dasilva and Danny Rampling. The music revolution was a fact, followed by the legendary warehouse parties of the early 90s as well as legal countermessures as [...]
Hey, they've got electronic music in Scotland now! Some kid on a BMX is having a stab at making house and doing good.
Sobre su niñez en Manchester, sobre oscuros pasos de baile, sobre fiestas y drogas, pero sobre todo sobre la música y su futuro, hablamos con Gerald Simpson, un tipo cualquiera con una diferencia a su favor: la curiosidad por dejarse fascinar por un sonido. Noche. Bellavista. Es martes y toca gratis A Guy Called Gerald , un hombre que sin parecerlo es una espece de leyenda de la elecrónica de baile. Pero del baile en serio. No anda con una polera plateada ni se sube para tocar a un podio con su nombre escrito [...]

Haters are going to say 'but it takes absolutely no talent to make this stuff', which is the same thing that Emerson, Lake & Palmer fans said about punk. You don't want to look like a Emerson, Lake & Palmer fan, do you?
As one of the pioneers of the early rave scene in the UK, 808 State first came to prominence in 1989 when their tune "Pacific State" reached number 10 in the UK charts. An amazing feat for their second tune and and sign of what was to come in the blossoming electronic music scene in the UK. The original line up was only together for two years as founder member Gerald Simpson left after "Pacific State" to become A Guy Called Gerald . After this DJ's Andrew Barker and Darren Partington, known as the Spinmasters [...]
