Bryan Gee

Real Name:
Gary Bryan
Profile:
Bryan Gee has been at the forefront of dance music since the beginning and a crucial influence in the evolution of global drum n bass. From being part of the elite group of pioneering DJs that grew onwards from the Acid House era of the late 80's to first releasing Roni Size's music (on his and Jumpin' Jack Frost's V Recordings label), Bryan Gee has always been at the cutting edge. Today Bryan Gee remains equally committed to pushing drum n bass forward both as a DJ, label manager and promoter. In between a hectic international DJ career, managing V Recordings and co-promoting Movement (the name was coined by Gee), you'll catch Bryan mixing the freshest dubplates at Movement.
Bryan's involvement with music began at 13 when he started DJing at Reggae sound-systems, but was always checking all kinds of music: from jazz, soul, funk, then rare groove and hip hop. The defining moment musically came with the emergence of acid house in 1987. A totally new sound, a totally different vibe. It was right up Bryan's street. And it was the foundation of Drum n Bass as we know it today. In essence Bryan Gee's musical history reflects the history of Drum n Bass: a unique, urban London sound influenced by a mix of musical genres that developed from Acid House, Jungle and ultimately into drum n bass.

Review by crugga_records May 09, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Unsung hero of the drum & bass scene. Has been around since the very begining and if Grooveriders the Godfather then Brian G is god. Behind V records which in my view shaped the direction of the drum & bass scene in the mid - late 90's, responsible for bringing through endless amounts of artists including Roni size, Die, Krust, and more recently Dj Marky & Artificial intelligence. And thats just his ear for good music. His dj sets are completely unique, allways has been one of if not the freshest dj, no fillers here just pure quality. Plays across the board Liquid to bouncy jump up and his quick style of mixing where he just rolls the next tune off is completely distinctive and you can tell its him without even knowing. Without a doubt one of the most influential men in this scene.
