A Guy Called Gerald

A Guy Called Gerald, born Gerald Simpson, is a pioneering British musician renowned for his trailblazing contributions to acid house and club music. Since emerging from the United Kingdom’s vibrant electronic scene, he has been widely celebrated for fusing elements of early acid house, techno, and hardcore with boundary-pushing live performances. Rather than simply playing records, A Guy Called Gerald is known for producing sounds live on stage, using MIDI controllers and mixers to create an immersive, ever-evolving sonic journey that flows seamlessly from deep basslines to pulsating rollers.

Recent live music highlights include headlining Strange Brew in Bristol in September 2025, where he shared the stage with The Jungle Drummer and Ed Real. He is also on the bill as a support act for ARMAND VAN HELDEN at the highly anticipated FAC51 THE HACIENDA event at THE WAREHOUSE PROJECT in Manchester, scheduled for December 2026—a lineup stacked with icons such as Louie Vega & David Morales, Groove Armada, and Carl Craig. These concerts reaffirm his standing as a revered figure in the international club music community.

Gerald’s discography reflects his restless creativity, with standout releases like the 2021 EP "Trip City" capturing the essence of his acid house roots.
