Disco Deviant

About

Festival favourite, Greg Wilson re-unites with Pablo Contraband for a night of fun and disco excess under the Big Top. Greg is regarded as one of the most important figures on the UK dance scene. He was a pioneer of mixing in the UK, nominated by DJ magazine for outstanding contribution and also named amongst their top twenty remixers of all-time. Pablo Contraband, aka Steyning resident Paul Budd, is also a well-known figure on the disco and house circuit, having toured UK and Europe extensively.

Starting his DJ journey at just 15, Greg Wilson went on to shape the UKs club culture in the late 70s and early 80s, holding influential residencies at Wigan Pier and Legend, where he helped pioneer the electro-funk sound. In 1983, he made history as the first DJ to demonstrate live mixing on British TV, appearing on Channel 4s The Tube. Known for his groundbreaking re-edits, reel-to-reel sets, and deep musical knowledge, Greg returned in the 2000s with renewed acclaim, continuing to inspire generations, even famously teaching a young Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim) how to scratch. Expect a masterclass in groove, spanning electro, funk, soul, and beyond, delivered by one of the UKs most respected selectors.
