Pulse X Karnival: Mr. G (live) There have been many generations of British dance culture, but throughout almost all of them, only one Mr. G. By his late teens, the Derby-born Mr. G, or Colin McBean as he was then better known, was saving his cash to regularly visit London. Immersing himself in soundsystem cultures and emerging trends beyond, his emerging tastes covered everything from classic soul to contemporary indie rock. After departing the Midlands, McBean had assisted in founding the legendary KCC and the Rocking Crew Soundsystem, a carnival-demolishing, reggae-roored rig that welcomed Detroit masters such as Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May and Richie Hawtin, each on the cusp of their journey to international stardom.
