808 State vs A Guy Called Gerald: A Happy Ending

Interviewed Graham Massey of 808 State fame for a forthcoming iDJ article, specifically about their (about to be reissued) classic second album ‘Quadrastate’.

It turns out that the band’s much publicised row with former member A Guy Called Gerald…



(Love the lawyer – see the pound signs lighting up in his eyes when he says ‘grey area’)

…is now finally over. He even rejoined the legendary Mancunian acid/techno/electronica trailblazers for their recent gigs at Corsica Studios in London and the Warehouse Project in Manchester…



Gerald, now resident in Berlin, has his own plans though – a live band with Jungle Drummer, Diane Charlemagne (the singer on Goldie’s ‘Inner City Life’) and MC Stamina, who’s featured on records by London Elecktricity and the d&b chart anthem ‘Barcelona’ by D-Kay.
