Greg Wilson 2nd October

Greg Wilson 2nd October

To help us with the launch of our brand new Funktion One sound system, we have invited a true legend of the dance world.

For the uninitiated, however unlikely that may seem, Greg Wilson made his name in the 70′s and 80′s where he was a pioneer of the predominantly black electro-funk sound at seminal Manchester clubs like Legends and Hacienda, where he was the first ever resident DJ. Credited with starting it’s first dance night he helped the club develop its reputation as the home of cutting edge new music. He was also the first DJ to mix records live on TV on The Tube show in 1983, and went on to produce and co-write the Street Sounds ‘UK Electro’ LP in 1984, as well as compiling the ‘Classic Electro Mastercuts’ LP in 1994, cementing himself as an oracle of the genre.

Meet The Residents

Posted: Sep 11th, 2009 : By:

joe&nic

Promoters and resident DJ’s Joe Morris and Nick Smith met through a mutual love of disco and acid house and have channeled this passion into running Polaroid, which has gone onto to become one of the most respected nights in the UK. Not content with programming cutting edge line ups, the pair have secured gigs of their own at some of the most esteemed clubs across Europe such as Fuse in Brussels, Dublin’s Pod and the End in London, earning a reputation as some of the most respected new DJs and tastemakers in the north of England. With gigs at Snowbombing and Croatia already under their belts this year, and more exciting dates being added all the time, 2009 looks to be quite a year for them.
