    Starting out as a regular clubgoer in his hometown of Manchester, he went on to become part of 808 State, cut the classic solo acid track "Voodoo Ray" and helm the respected drum & bass label Juice Box Records. His 1995 album Black Secret Technology was a genuine milestone of the genre, pushing jungle to new levels of sophistication.

    Gerald is a really. nice guy and definitely a genius. I've seen him play in San Francisco a number of times, and he's always been fantastic. Very approachable.

    An tr808, an SH101, a tb303 and an early mpc/sp1200 or some other sampler and they were making tunes that still get played 35 years later.
    No DAW, just joy of pressing buttons and twisting knobs and it still grooves now. Much better than the nonsense on radio today.
