DJ DAVIE
Hi i’m DJ Davie. I present THE ESSENTIAL DANCE SESSION on Thursday nights from 7.30 – 9pm. I compile sets which are a blend of up to the minute and classic dance tracks mixed with current and recent hits from the UK Top 40. My musical influences started with the 80′s electro and new romantic scenes, sampled in many of todays top dance tracks. I pay tribute to these with 80′s and 90′s specials laced with trivia from those decades. Check out my show most Thursdays.
