    About This Event

    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 scene with 808 State and released the acid house single "Voodoo Ray." He plays an all-night set at Nowadays, continuing a New York presence that favors groove and meticulous sound design over spectacle.
