DAVID DUNNE'S  FUNKADEMIA CLASSICS VOL 3- Nov 2016

DJ and radio presenter for over three decades. Did my first Dance show on Radio in 1988! Still playing music in clubs and on the radio even now. 
Also part of the remix team Triple Dee (remixes include tracks by Cevin Fisher, Duke, Dennis Christopher, Timmy Vegas, Solu Music  and Simply Red).  

Might I suggest that seeing as Soundcloud's stupidly outmoded copyright policy makes it very hard to upload ANY mixes, you should go to some of these pages to find mixes that I daren't try to post here:

You will find quite a few downloadable mixes there that aren't on Soundcloud!

Been in love with all things House since back in the dizzle. 1987 going into 1988 and onwards.
I'm sort of addicted to house beats and never lost my love of the scene, going out to hear the best DJs play the best upfront tunes that were around and, of course, legendary private parties. 
Early Acid House, The Hacienda, Blackburn warehouse parties, and the Rave scene inspired my listening pleasure. From then on, I was hooked.
I was lucky enough to have Sasha and John Dasilva play a party for me in 1988.
I ditched hip hop and found my aural drug of choice.
As it went more hardcore, I settled down and did my thing.
Had it again the early 2000's when Funky house blew up, 2Risque at North in Manchester has to get a mention. 
Ultima and bigger, more glamorous type events began to get me out again. 
I also learnt then how to DJ for myself and began collecting vinyl and blending mashups and finally understood how I was a bit more of a listener than a performer. 
Now in my early 50s, I still take a daily dose , combining a huge hit of the classics, Tech funky house, disco, and Elecrtro breaks and less cheesy bassline Basically, stuff that would make your gran get out of her chair and dance despite her knackered hips. Gear to make your bass bins bosh, and your tweeters pop. Bring the funk and a beautiful, soulful,  uplifting vocal and get those feet moving type of gear.
This is the stuff I get down to.....aswell as a fair bit of beach vibes,chillout, and some psytrance that i chill and fall asleep to.
Although to be fair , it's more likely I fall asleep to a club set for some strange reason?
I hope you like the stuff I like. I've posted a bit. 
Still going out , whilst I can. 
Housework in London reignited my passion post lockdown for going out and I'm beyond super pleased things have got even better.
loving Dirty Stereo and all of the amazing material Soundcloud finds for me. 
So. 
Turn it up, nod your head even if you're on the tube or in the car.... and you'll be fine.... give it your best and get up and dance.
I couldn't have my piece of musical heaven without the most amazing army of talent put there using this platform. Massive respect and shout out to you all. Keep spreading THE vibes. Music is the answer. 
Thank you. 
Big love ❤️
