Any blurb about his career is bound to exclude many seminal moments, such is the extent of his achievements in almost four decades behind the decks. In 1982, he started warming up for Tim Westwood in central London clubs like Gossips & Heaven. He cut his teeth playing soul, funk and boogie in clubs and on pirate radio station Phase One, until landing a slot on Kiss FM in 1986. Over the next 16 years, Dale became London’s answer to The Wizard, with his Abstrakt Dance show (and related Outer Limits mix CDs) introducing a whole generation to the cutting-edge sounds of Europe and USA.
