Ah Greg Wilson. An edit legend. A disco master. A true head and DJ supreme. Sought after for his finesse and touch he's been credited (the edit) as being the first person to mix two records on British TV. A DJ and OG from back in the 70's/80's he took a long (decade) hiatus from DJ'ing but has jumped back in the game and been setting shit on fire. Proof positive is fully realized in this Essential Mix, a mix that has many stating it's one of the best Essential Mix ever. Not this year, not recently, but yes -EVER! That's major praise as Essential Mix has been a DJ institution for decades and in 2009 Greg Wilson bangs out the best ever? Listen and learn.
