Del Fortune – Play Fm Dublin

The Sound Selection Mondays 6-8pm

I started djing in 1994 at the age of 15 in London where I put on house parties and small gigs for my friends, with heavy influences from the Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Shades Of Rhythm with a set of 1200’s and a 626.

I moved back to Dublin in 1995 where i spun tunes with Dublin’s Old Skool djs in the 13th floor and the Harp bar O’Connel Bridge then joined a Dj agency as a house Dj for 5 years playing in many clubs across the city.

I started promoting my own nights ‘Rise’ in the Voodoo Lounge in 2002, with Dublins finest djs and then moved it to Spi bar where it grew to a successful Friday night for a year under Break of Dawn promotions.
I then took residency in Ozone in Leixlip for 4 years with Rise spinning anything from Hed kandi to old skool and banging Ibiza classics.

Moved to the canary Islands in 2005 where I had residencies in a host of clubs and bars for the summer season,when I left in September that year to further fields in Australia.
I took a residency in Da Palace, Coogey Bay, Sydney where I had the pleasure of playing with Dimitri from Paris, Sneaker Pimps and the legendary Irish Pot Bellies.
I also had residency in Moulin Rouge, Kingscross, Sydney.

I have also played in the big clubs here in Dublin such as Tripod, Switch, Spirit, South William and Galway’s G PO. I now have the pleasure of playing on Play Fm every Monday 6-8 pm with my show “The Sound Selection” playing a feast of fresh beats and organic sounds from the best of local and international producers. I love to drop vocals and piano melodies with a tendency to indulge in the banging side of bass-lines and lots of percussion.

Influences: Groove Armada, Frankie Knuckles, ATFC, Inland Knights, Mark Knight, Gabriel Rocha, Sergio Fernandez, DaftPunk, CJ Boland and anything from Strictly Rhythm
