Music for swimming pools? Well this is what I would enjoy listening to in that setting. Plenty latin and percussive vibes as well as thick bass lines and a shimmer of summery acid amidst the driving sounds of nu-disco I've selected. Dive into the neon waves of yesteryear in this mix of indie dance / nu-disco and the odd housey vibe too.

The Online Dance Music Authority.
Dancing without prejudice since 2008.

Initially falling into dance music through the sounds of the late Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles and loving the soulful house and disco sounds they played, it progressed into a love of pretty much all forms of dance music. From the Old Skool 88-92 sounds that brought Acid House to the masses, to the early progressive sounds of the likes of labels such as Stress, Jackpot, Bedrock and Skinnymalinkey. Starting to DJ in 1994 but only going for 3 years before taking a 17 year break from all clubbing and DJing and starting up again back in 2014. Initially playing Old Skool gigs for a while and building back from there. I listen to and play all sorts. Old Skool, Techno, House, Progressive, Disco and Edits.

Current Residency @ YDNY in Whalley Range Manchester (Bi Monthly 3rd Saturday of the month)(Feb / April / June / Aug / Oct / Dec)
