Eclectic Method is the name of an audio-visual remix act, originally formed in London in 2001 by Geoff Gamlen, Ian Edgar, Johnny Wilson.

They quickly developed Eclectic Method's audio-visual style into a live performance featuring video turntables (Pioneer DVJ-1000) - mixing the visuals and audio live.[1] As a live act, they have travelled around the world playing hundreds of gigs in Asia, North America, South America, Europe and the Middle East.

After their early period, creating what were considered “bootleg” and “unofficial" video remixes, Eclectic Method were called upon by artists like Fatboy Slim[2] & U2 and by film, video, and television companies such as New Line Cinema[3] and Palm Pictures to create custom a/v remixes.

Eclectic Method (Johnny Wilson) opened the Dance Forest stage at the Virgin Mobile FreeFest in Columbia, Maryland on September 10, 2011.[4]
