Tirk Records unveils Meridian B as newest signing to their shining roster of house and electronica.

Meridian B is the alias of Bristol music producer and song writer David Johnston. His passion for music began growing up on a diet of Orbital and FSOL which led to a deeply entrenched fascination with synths, drum machines and electronic music. At 18 he bought his first toy, a Roland Juno106. As a gay party animal his unwavering devotion for classic disco and electro fuses the Studio 54 spirit with sharp modern production. Influences ranging from T-Connection, Larry Levan & Gwen Guthrie through to Maurice Fulton, Henrik Schwarz and LCD Soundsystem. The music from Meridian B is infectious. With good song writing as the key, tracks often have vocals punctuating the sweaty dancefloor. He may be a new artist but he certainly knows what he's doing.

Greg Wilson - Credit To The Edit Vol. 3

Legendary DJ, remixer and edit exponent Greg Wilson is back at it again with the third instalment of his hugely popular "Credit To The Edit" series. Almost a decade on from Volume 2, "Credit To The Edit – Vol. 3", released 4th April via Tirk Recordings, draws on music from the Disco and Rave eras, adding a seminal Hip Hop cut, a Balearic favourite, 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 '80s residencies at Wigan Pier, Manchester's "Legend" and "The Haçienda", as well as over the airwaves on the city's 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 2-decade hiatus, he's gained international renown at the vanguard of a now global re-edits movement.
