Colin Dale - Abstract Dance - Kiss FM 3 deck Mix
DJ Colin Dale Profile
Colin Dale began DJing at the age of 18 and is one of the most popular underground Djs on the Techno/Hard Dance scene. A year later he was working on a regular basis as a warm up Dj for Tim Westwood at Gossips and Heaven, as well as working fulltime at various record shops that specialized in Techno. In 1986 Colin Joined Kiss FM as a pirate radio DJ, where he helped create the original and unique sound of ‘Abstract Dance’. In 1991 his show, boasting over 50,000 listeners each week, was voted ‘Best Specialist Show’.
Colin helped launch Knowledge at the WW1 Club in Victoria, London on Wednesday nights (where until recently he was resident) with Colin Faver and Jane Howard of Serious Business. It quickly became one of London’s biggest mid-week clubs dedicated to the ‘Abstract Sound’. e has been able to take his sound worldwide to San Francisco, New York, Washington, Japan and Toronto.
From the Acid House Archives I bring you the first ever 3 deck mix on Colins Abstract dance show, a fantastic snap shop of the forward thinking futuristic techno of that era, and still sounding fresh to this day.

Quality post Tim, used to love his shows, wrote to him once and got a really nice reply… and Colin Favor’s shows too. Sadly don’t think I kept any of my old tapes but will take a look in the loft anyway!
Keep up the awesome blog matey, cheers.
