A Guy Called Gerald: Performing Artist in New York

About A Guy Called Gerald

A Guy Called Gerald is the recording name of British producer Gerald Rydel Simpson, whose early work helped shape late-1980s UK club music. He emerged from Manchester’s electronic network as part of 808 State, then stepped out on his own with the acid house single “Voodoo Ray,” a track that became widely referenced in the era’s dance culture. In New York City he brings that lineage to venues like Public Records, often sharing bills with artists such as Machinedrum, DJ Minx, and Hercules & Love Affair. His sets favor groove and sound design over spectacle.
