Greg Wilson may have been born by the Mersey, but he made his rep at the helm of Manchester’s Legend and Hacienda clubs. He cut his teeth spinning soul, funk and disco at clubs around New Brighton and at Wigan Pier in the early 1980s before adding electro to his arsenal, taking over a club night in Manchester and hitting the airwaves on the local Piccadilly station.

When the Factory-funded Hacienda opened its doors, Wilson was one of the first DJs to begin tweaking the soundsystem. He became closely linked with the electro scene, and his championing of its raw, visceral post-disco sounds saw him put together various compilations for such labels as Street Sounds. Wilson's unerring ear for re-edits has been highlighted in recent years with the Tirk compilation Credit to the Editrounding up his reel-to-reel editing of tracks by Chaka Khan, Chic, Scritti Politti and many more.
