Mancunian House legend Gerald Simpson aka A Guy Called Gerald offers up a brand new mix of 80′s Hip-Hop and B-Boy. Simpson himself describes it as a tribute to Kool Herc, whose parties and DJ technique played a huge role in the formative years of Hip-Hop.
“He was a young Jamaican American and he just wanted to throw a party. His uncle had given him the best sound system in the neighborhood, yet he had no venue to play at and he was broke. What Kool Herc chose to do could have been done anywhere, but because it happened in New York, he forever changed the world.
Kool Herc brought the party to the people and set up his sound in the streets.”
