Get Diverted & Slide with The Revenge & A Guy Called Gerald

  • Slide and Get Diverted are playing away from their Dex Club home in the first of a set of 2 room parties at the award winning Corsica Studios on March 19 with one of their finest line-ups to date. The legendary A Guy Called Gerald appears in his first London show of the year fresh from headlining the 'I Love Acid' arena at the sell out Bloc Weekend at the start of March. Gerald pretty much kick-started UK acid house with his ’88 Hacienda classic ‘Voodoo Ray’ and ‘Pacific State‘ (he was one of the founding members of 808 State) – gatecrashing the charts in the process – and went on to lay down the blueprint for jungle music - and has since continued his role as one of the UK’s most dedicated producers. On top of releases on seminal labels like Perlon, Sender, !K7 and Beatstreet over the past 10 years, GCG released his 9th album ‘Tronic Jazz: The Berlin Sessions’ last year on specialist Berlin label Laboratory Instinct. We welcome one of dance music’s most unassuming heroes to take us way back to a time when US imports were streaming into the underground record stores in Manchester. Plus headlining Room 2 we have Graeme Clark AKA The Revenge. The last couple of years have seen Graeme’s star rise and rise. His early cuts on Jiscomusic gained him early support across the board, and releases on the likes of Mule Musiq, Delusions Of Grandeur and his own Instruments Of Rapture label have followed. 2011 will see another busy year for Graeme with a reworks LP forthcoming on Z Records and a 6th Borough Project LP due out in Spring on Instruments Of Rapture. Supporting across 2 rooms we have Mark Storie. Rob Alldritt. Basement Boogaloo. Rich Smith. Archie Hamilton (Moscow). Saorise Ryan. Dan Holmes. Matt Sharp and Hugo Seymour. Plus visuals from Fade In Fade Out. Get Diverted & Slide: Recommended in Metro, Time Out London, IDJ & The London Paper
