Greg Wilson has been a pioneer in electronic music ever since the early 1980s. Specializing in jazz-funk and disco, Wilson is known for being the first DJ to ever mix live on British television, as well as the teacher of a young Fatboy Slim.

His set in May 2012 at the Movement festival in Detroit was a tour-de-force of disco dancing and seamless remixing.  Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Garbage, and many others get a disco rework that’s both surprisingly funky and faithful to the originals.  I’ve been listening to it constantly since May and have to share it here:
