FUNKADEMIA RADIO SHOW WITH DAVID DUNNE #1 MARCH 2020

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!

Disco, Edits and feel good House music. 

Shared with love and admiration. Mixed on vinyl.

After finding the rave scene in 1990, Lee bought his first set of decks a year or two later. Initially influenced by the music in the North West and clubs like Legends (Warrington), The Quad, Cream, The Hacienda he started his music collection and would play at parties, the odd bar gig and create mixtapes for friends.

Fast forward to the turn of the decade (and century!), now living in London, Lee was part of an underground party collective called Most Excellent, putting on parties at various South London venues such as Brockwell Park Lido and The Telegraph (Brixton), playing classic, funky and soulful house music playing alongside a few notable guests like Trevor Fung and Stuart Patterson. 

After a break of about 10 years to get married and start a family, he started listening to the likes of Fingerman, LNTG, The Reflex and was hooked on the underground edits and disco scene. The decks were dusted off and he started to buy music again…

Lee is now proud to be part of the #DiscoWaltons family, a DJ, Producer and music fan collective who frequent the chatrooms of some of the best music shows and livestreams available to humankind!
