"A DJ for the people, always aiming to please the crowd through an energetic and eclectic mix of no-nonsense music" Jay Cunning's been in the mix since day one with various styles of Old Skool, House, DnB and dare we say it… Garage. In 1996 he started to consolidate this jockey sluttage and opted for a bit of monogamy and settled down with Breakbeat. Nowadays his Weekly show on Kiss FM, residency at Andy C's Ram nite at 'The End', international gigs and the running of Menu Music see's Jay as one of the hardest working DJs on the scene.
