Greg Wilson is one of the legendary dance DJs – his two club sets at Glastonbury were among the high spots of the festival.  DJ magazine called him one of the top 20 remixers of all time, while his Essential Mix for Radio 1 was chosen as one of the top ten in the show’s 17 year old history. Inspired by the links between the Genet exhibition and dance music of the last five decades, Wilson will be mixing live in The Space. We defy you to stand still. Greg Wilson also writes about dance culture for many magazines, and has a celebrated blog Being A DJ. He will be at the decks in The Space from 9pm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XusReyG4QY
