----------------
Fresh off sold-out dates at London’s Jazz Cafe, this powerful performance—set to appear at Glastonbury’s Glade Stage, We Out Here Festival, and Strange Brew Bristol—reimagines classics from Black Secret Technology and Essence, alongside unreleased gems straight from the vault, all constructed live using Gerald’s signature fusion of real-time software and hardware manipulation.
This is no backing track set but a fully live dynamic performance. Expect a fully live, high-voltage set built on beat-for-beat improvisation and seamless synergy between Gerald and The Jungle Drummer.
A Guy Called Gerald—widely regarded as a founding father of UK electronic music—is credited with launching Europe’s acid house explosion with the iconic Voodoo Ray and shaping the sound of Jungle and Drum & Bass with a series of releases on his own Juice Box Records in the early 90s and the seminal Black Secret Technology.
Joining him is The Jungle Drummer, whose powerhouse drumming has featured on releases for influential labels including Metalheadz, Ninja Tune, Hospital Records and Valve. With a history of collaborations spanning Shy FX, London Elektricity, High Contrast, and Beardyman, he brings a live energy that’s second to none.
The show also features special guest vocalists Yeukai Makoni and Gerald’s brother David Simpson, who lend powerful live vocals to Gerald’s most iconic tracks.
This collaboration is a bold fusion of live Jungle, Electronica, and raw improvisation—built for the dancefloor and designed for progressive festivals and venues looking to showcase the cutting edge of UK electronic music.
