His show quickly became a must-listen for fans of cutting-edge dance music, and he soon became one of the most influential DJs in the UK.

As a producer, Colin Dale has released a string of critically acclaimed records on labels like Abstrakt Dance, Plink Plonk, and his own imprint, ‘Parallel Recordings’. His music is known for its deep, driving basslines, intricate rhythms, and futuristic soundscapes, and he has collaborated with some of the biggest names in electronic music, including Carl Craig, Derrick May, and Juan Atkins.

Colin Dale has performed at some of the biggest clubs and festivals around the world, including Fabric in London, Berghain in Berlin, and Sonar in Barcelona. He is also known for his skill as a DJ, blending together diverse genres and styles to create a unique and unforgettable sound.

With over three decades of experience in the music industry, Colin Dale remains a true pioneer of techno, and his influence can still be heard in the work of countless DJs and producers around the world. Whether in the studio or behind the decks, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music and inspire a new generation of artists and fans.
