About Me

Am a reggae DJ based in Manchester, UK. Play live in Hulme (near Moss Side) and on radio. I especially like to play unsigned and up-and-coming artists from Manchester first, UK second and worldwide next (well, I am a Manc after all!haha) For gigs, radio shows and anything interesting, check the 'upcoming shows' section on here.
On a serious note, in the aftermath of so many shootings in our city, a reminder that life is precious. Don't glamourise gangs and their wrongdoings. And above all, dont be deceived into thinking that its all exciting and thrilling being involved. I've seen too many parents filling in the graves of their children and know for certain that there is no glamour in death. Respect life. Respect each others lives.
Watch my video's and playlist 'tubes' on www.youtube.com/DJRavenManchester
See me at 'A-Fe-We' on Royce Road in Hulme on Wednesday nights.(sometimes I bully my way onto the decks on sunday and tuesday nights too lol).Every thursday, Jam Night at A Fe We. Musicians and performers welcome. Just come down and join in! (I don't always play on Thursdays, but am always there for Jam Night!)
Bless
