 Legendary DJ, remixer and edit exponent Greg Wilson is back at it again with the third instalment of his hugely popular ¡ÆCredit To The Edit¡Ç series, now available on vinyl. Almost a decade on from Volume 2, ¡ÆCredit To The Edit Vol. 3¡Ç, released via Tirk Recordings, draws on music from the disco and rave eras as well a few contemporary tracks from the last 10 years.  A groundbreaking DJ, Greg played a key role in introducing black electronic dance music to the UK via his early 1980s residencies at Wigan Pier, Manchester¡Çs Legend and The Haçienda, as well as over the airwaves on the city¡Çs Piccadilly Radio. Working with Technics turntables, a Revox reel to reel tape machine and a razor blade, Greg carved out his reputation as a UK pioneer and champion of electro funk. Whereas, more recently, following his 2003 comeback after a two-decade hiatus, he¡Çs gained international renown at the vanguard of a now global re-edits movement.  ¡ÈThis album mainly consists of straight up old-style edits, where I¡Çve worked with the stereo tracks, extending, re-arranging and sometimes overdubbing. There are also some reworks / remixes where I¡Çve had the stems at my disposal and been able to bring into play additional instrumentation, courtesy of remix partner Peza on a couple of the tracks - 2016¡Çs ¡ÆHold On¡Ç by Luxxury featuring The Reynolds plus the futuristic ¡Æ70s Disco hit, ¡ÆMagic Fly¡Ç by Space.¡É  Kicking off with Haçienda DJ Mike Pickering¡Çs T-Coy project, the loose- limbed Latinate shuffle ¡ÆCarino¡Ç is very much a cult classic. Greg¡Çs instrumental edit of Todd Terje¡Çs edit of ¡ÆGlad To Know You¡Ç, 37 years on from the Chaz Jankel original, has been a big club and festival favourite and is made available here for the first time, while Escort make their second ¡ÆCredit To The Edit¡Ç appearance with Greg¡Çs remix of their 2010 release, ¡ÆCocaine Blues¡Ç.  The near-pornographic funk classic ¡ÆJungle Fever¡Ç, recorded by Chakachas, a group of Belgian-based studio musicians, is a playful mixture of Latin music, jazz and European-style exotica. More recent favourites come courtesy of Psychemagik and Red Rack¡Çem.  With re-edits culture continuing to grow ever-stronger and becoming a staple of the contemporary dance scene, it brings back into play a whole era of music for a new generation.  ¡ÈTo have played a part in this recent evolution fulfils my personal criteria as a DJ, which is to draw from the past whilst informing the present. I was always cautious of nostalgia traps, where DJs fall into playing the old music in the old way, whereas this was about bringing new context to what was always great music, introducing it to a younger crowd, with the re-edits movement providing the perfect connection from then to now - my role as a ¡Æbridge-builder¡Ç crystalizing as a consequence.¡É - Greg Wilson
