About this episode

Welcome to "Who's The DJ?"--the show that digs deep into the music and stories of the world's greatest DJ's and producers.

You'll hear about the people behind the decks, what challenged and inspired them and what in turn will inspire the next generation of electronic music makers.

Greg Wilson

Greg Wilson is one of the UK's pioneering club DJs. In the early '80s he brought New York electro-funk into the North West, at Wigan Pier and Manchester's Legend, and in 1983 became the first dance music specialist with a weekly night at the Haçienda. That same year he mixed live on Channel 4's The Tube, a first for British TV.

He stepped away from the decks at the end of 1983 to produce and manage, making two albums with Manchester's Ruthless Rap Assassins. He returned in 2003 and led the disco re-edit revival through his Credit To The Edit compilations, his reel-to-reel sets and his remixes with his son Ché Wilson.
