Disco Waltons Sunday Service 10th July 2022 - with Ewan Mack

This week's special guest is Sean Benton, a talented DJ and radio host with his finger firmly on the pulse of disco.

Hailing from Birmingham although he has called the North West his home for over 20 years, Sean’s DJ career started way back in the very early 90s, playing a variety of different bars & clubs. From this, a residency at Bakers Nightclub, one of the forerunners of the house music scene in the second city ensued and he continued hone his craft. 

Having then spent 4 years DJing in both Greece & the Canaries, in 1997 he hung up his headphones for nearly 20 year and had a massive hiatus away from that side of the music scene.

Since starting back in 2016, Sean embraced the emerging Disco / House sound and having always had a love for all things 70’s & 80’s disco, started to source edits as he developed his newfound love for DJing again.

Over the last 6 years, Sean has built a reputation through his radio shows, initially with Influx Radio and the lure of NDC Radio was too much to turn down and he has hosted the Sundessential Disco show for the last 18 months. He also co-hosts The Spin on Radio Warrington which as well as having a massive following, puts on hugely successful live broadcast shows in his hometown of Warrington. He has also developed his ‘Some Kinda Disco’ branded nights which he hosts with his DJing partner in crime Christian Reilly under their ‘Play Something’ moniker.

The festival is where Sean most recently likes to ply his trade, with Beat-Herder & Creamfields his regular haunts as well as appearances Neighbourhood Weekender & U Know Festival. Also being involved with the events side of NDC Radio, Sean has been instrumental in setting up NDC events at ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event).

BLD Aug 1st 2022 with Pookie Knights & Ben Banjo Field

This week's guest is Errol Russell, a veteran DJ who has been spinning beats since 1994. He has excellent taste in music as well as exploring multiple genres and crossover styles. His set for this week's show will be mainly soulful house, with influences of disco, gospel and funk.

** ERROL RUSSELL BIO **
It all started for Errol in 1992, when he created the legendary Club Kinetic, a weekly club night, in a multi arena venue, serving the very best in hardcore, jungle and techno. Errol was able to experiment and showcase the very best DJs, MCs and PAs of the day. That same year, he was instrumental in the creation of Quest, another weekly club night in Wolverhampton providing the very best of jungle techno. In 1994, Errol turned his hand to DJing and was soon playing extensively throughout the Midlands. 

Errol secured a number of residencies over the years, and played at numerous bars and clubs in Brighton and Swansea, playing alongside such artists asTony DeVit (R.I.P), Fabio, Allister Whitehead,  Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Foncett, Jon Da Silva, Graeme Park and Carl Cox. 

Errol then called time on his DJing and took a 15 year hiatus, until March 2020, when the UK went into its first national lockdown in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The advice was stay at home, so he dusted off his Technic 1210s and realised he had so missed playing music.

In November 2020, lockdownfm.live (LDFM) an internet based radio show, invited Errol to livestream as part of their House Sessions crew, where he continues to play regularly with an accomplished crew of DJs.

In April 2022, he curated his first show ‘FUNKADELIC SESSIONS’ on LDFM and showcased House Legend DJ Romain. This collaboration opened many doors and led to an invite from SoulfulHouseDJs, where Errol performed his first ever Mixcloud live set to wide acclaim. Hot on the heels of this, came an invite from Brixton Jamm. Errol has now teamed up with 4TheMusic (4TM) and has recently been approached by ChoiceFMUK. .

You can also catch Errol at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) in October, later this year.

Errol describes his musical style, as a subtle blend of Soulful, Funky, Jackin, Tribal, Deep, Tech House and Nu Disco, interlaced with American Soul, Funk, Disco & Gospel influences. Errol loves happy, inspirational and uplifting music and that is what he delivers whenever he plays.

muao - tonight (Zylenth Remix)

Based in Lille (Northern France), Briak is influenced by soul, disco & funk and artists such as Larry Levan, Dave Lee or Dimitri From Paris to name a few... His passion for this music has pushed him, for the past ten years, to re-edit and make his own versions of disco tracks… which has allowed him to release some...
On the DJ side, his sets are very eclectics, ranging from Disco to Afro through a House filled with huge soul...
