Career

David Dunne's DJ careerBBHE IS FATold textold text spans more than twenty years and more than 17 years playing dance music on the Radio. In 1989 he found himself showcasing music from legendary clubs like the Hacienda on Manchester's Piccadilly Radio with his "Isometric Dance Class" show. At that time he gave DJs such as Justin Robertson, Mike Pickering and Jon Da Silva their first radio exposure.

He then became one of the founder staff members at Kiss 102 & 105 and presented shows that aired in both Manchester and Yorkshire. Following a take over by Chrysalis Radio Kiss became Galaxy and he continued to present on the stations. He later joined national station long wave radio station Atlantic 252 to present "BPM" - a dance music show. Then, in October 1998, he was given the job of repositioning the station to attract 15 to 24-year-olds as programme controller. This gave him the freedom to allow rising DJs DJ Lottie, DJ Touche, Eddy Temple Morris & James Hyman their first Radio shows.

Following the closure of Atlantic, he joined Ministry of Sound as Managing Director of their digital radio station in London.

He then joined Wise Buddah as a consultant for development in July 2000 and since 2003 has worked for the Hed Kandi. His role involved producing and presenting the Hed Kandi radio shows on the Galaxy Network until January 2010. The show was also syndicated to over 24 stations internationally. Although David no longer presents the Hed Kandi radio show on Galaxy, he does still host a Sunday morning chill out show on Galaxy called "Nu Cool".
