A Guy Called Gerald

Since the 80’s, Manchester, UK native A GUY CALLED GERALD, born Gerald Simpson, has proven to be among the most innovative modern music figures. His influence is international, and through his versatility he has spawned genres and generations of music culture. Since his early experimentation with techno and acid house into his groundbreaking contributions to drum & bass music, GCG’s art and craft has perpetually evolved regardless of his individual successes in each of those genres. Five years in the making, Gerald’s forthcoming album “Essence” marks his return to promise.

A GUY CALLED GERALD’s long awaited album “Essence”was released through STUD!O K7 Records on August 14th, 2000 worldwide. This will be his first project since 1995’s groundbreaking “Black Secret Technology.” Featuring sleek and sexy production, “Essence” features the songwriting and vocals from guest artists such as David Simpson, Lady Miss Kier, Lamb’s Louise Rhodes, and successful UK songwriter Wendy Page. Merging subtly ambitious elements of drum & bass and dub over immaculate melodies and tones, “Essence” hopes to vitalize the stale nature of drum & bass expanding the songwriting and composition potential of breakbeat music with sleek and soulful production.
