30 years since The Second Summer Of Love. Celebrating the 30th year of A Guy Called Gerald's career

There are few artists out there as influential, groundbreaking and individual as A Guy Called Gerald. From his roots as a dancer to his fearless experimentation with 808 State in the early days of British acid house, producing the seminal “Voodoo Ray” and moving on to make one of the most vital documents of the nascent jungle era – Black Secret Technology – Gerald Simpson has constantly pushed forward without seeking approval from the traditional tastemakers and gatekeepers of the electronic music scene.
30 years later, he’s as independent and uncompromising as ever, still working tirelessly as a producer and live performer without concern for trends and scenes that come and go around him.
As part of his ’30 Years Of Independence’ tour, Simpson will be taking over the Studio X Floor with a performance that takes in the depth and breadth of his long and winding career, no doubt touching on the many styles he has helped pioneer in a celebration of the huge cultural evolutions that have taken place in electronic music since the ‘second summer of love’ in 1988.
