Greg Wilson, a seminal figure in the UK's dance music scene, began his DJ career in 1975, pioneering the electro-funk movement in the early 1980s. His innovative use of reel-to-reel tape edits and live mixing techniques earned him residencies at iconic venues like Wigan Pier and Manchester's Legend. In 1983, he became the first DJ to mix live on British television, showcasing his skills on Channel 4's "The Tube."
