Happy Mondays with A Guy Called Gerald, Danny Rampling, and more

Happy Mondays, from Salford, England, were pivotal to the 80s-90s Madchester scene, blending indie and acid house. Led by Shaun Ryder, they mixed funk, techno, and psychedelia. Known for albums like "Bummed" and "Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches," their hits include "Kinky Afro" and "Step On." Ryder's surreal wordplay and their unique sound made them icons alongside The Stone Roses and Inspiral Carpets.

A Guy Called Gerald, born in the UK, is iconic in dance music for pioneering acid house with "Voodoo Ray," shaping jungle/drum n bass, and collaborating with 808 State. With 11 albums and remixes for David Bowie and others, he is celebrated for his innovation and independence in electronic music.
