A Guy Called Gerald is the stage name for musician, record producer and DJ Gerald Simpson. He has proven to be among the most innovative modern electronic music figures of the past two decades.

He is perhaps best known for his early work in the Manchester (UK) acid house scene in the early 1990s and the track "Voodoo Ray". At that time, he specialised in techno music produced using retro equipment, such as the Roland TB-303 bass machine and the TR-808 drum machine (he sourced much of his equipment from Johnny Roadhouse, a second-hand music shop on Oxford Road in Manchester).
