Just me but currently involved in collaborations with other producers for various projects and remixes.
Influences
My main influences are mainly music I was listening to in my teens.....David Bowie, Herbie Hancock (genius), Chick Corea, Cameo......reggae music and lots of the early 80 club music just as it was moving from disco into a more electronic sound. At the moment listening to everything from Radiohead to John Coltrane. Other big influences are Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Reggae Regulars, Mantronik, Shep Pettibone, Leroy Burgess, The Beatles, Prince, Twilight 22, Depeche Mode, Light of The World, Underground Resistance, Die Warsaw, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Arthur Russell, N.I.N, New Order, Strafe, Airto, Foremost Poets, Fela Kuti, Leroy Hudson, Cameo, Clock DVA, Aurra, Slave, Skyy, Jamie Principle and Juan Atkins.
To call Colin Dale "legendary" is no over-estimation.......here is a Dj that has been one of London's most cutting edge Djs for over 20 years and still continues to surprise and marvel. Music was always a big part of the Dale family's life......Soul, Reggae, Jazz and Funk.....even before Colin left school friends included Fabio, Grooverider, Dave Angel, Jumping Jack Frost and Bryan Gee........all who went on to be top Djs in their respective scenes. It all began in 1982 when Colin who was then working as a banker in the city of London began to warm up for Hip Hop supremo "Tim Westwood" at the cult Gossips nightclub in Soho playing cuts like Soul Sonic Force, Strafe, Shannon and Donna Summer. In 1985 Colin was one of the key members of the pirate radio station Kiss FM and soon after left banking to pursue a career in music and the "Abstrakt Dance" radio show was born. For 16 years "Abstrakt Dance" was a ground-breaking show which quite simply bought Techno to the masses. Guests on the show included All the UR crew, Hawtin, Angel, Pullen, Garnier, Saunderson, Craig, May, Cox......the list goes on and .. the show was put on the internet in 1993 Colin became a household name in Techno circles Worldwide. It was the first ever Techno show to be transmitted live with visuals and it was revolutionary. It was around this time that Colin teamed up with Brenda Russell and Colin Faver to do the "Deep Space" series of clubs in London which again saw the team take London's Techno scene to new highs. Other club nights that Colin has been involved in include Electric Boogie, Vapour Space, Deep and Jelly. Production wise Colin has recorded for Perfecto on their very first LP, Obsessive, Logic, Sensei, Visitor, Abstrakt Dance, Swag, Laus and Alien Funk amongst others as well as 7 well received mix compilation LPs for various major record labels. (see discography*) As well as being a regular guest at clubs such as Fabric, Rex, Pasha (Buenos Aires) and Love (Brazil) Colin has toured the Worlds clubs extensively.....Japan, China, Russia, Australia and Eastern Europe.........Colin is a favourite the World over. Looking back Colin has played some of the Worlds best parties.....Dance Valley, Full Moon, Tribal Gathering, Sunrise, Energy, Love Parade, Automatik and Rage @ Heaven. Fast forward to 2008 and its all systems go...there’s the new revamped Abstrakt Dance record label and web-site due in March 2009, lots of new music productions a new studio in London and also regular “Wildlife nights. There’s also the first ever DJ management agency that specialises in the world of the digital DJ......"WildLife" Artist Management feat: Colin Dale, Sophie Oliver, Jacksonville, Pure Science, Jacksonville, Pure Science, Living City, Mark Dale, Tomoki and Steve Strawberry amongst others. We are really pushing all the new technologies like Ableton Live, Traktor and Final Scratch.......there are also some new and innovative soft synths like Reaktor 5, Spectrasonics, the new re-vamped Acid 6 and of course the old favourite Reason.......don't worry I haven't turned my back on vinyl.......there's just so many other just as usable sound sources that it seems a shame not to use them. Still as busy and popular as ever these days Colin sound is still tough and funky with blissful shades of Electro and Tech House. New to Colin’s sets are Dex and FXs..3 turntables, Rane Serato, Pioneer CDs and FXs and exclusive tracks and edits..the future is here Colin Dale is sponsored by Allen & Heath DJ mixers and also featured in the Sony publication All time 100 DJs
