DJ Bruise Lee

In the 90’s Lee was a legend in his bedroom, spending vast sums on vinyl. Then, real life relegated the Technics and it took a pandemic to rekindle his love for DJ’ing. 30 years on, technology has changed, but the passion still burns strong. These days Bruise spins just about anything, focusing on disco and tech house

Simon H

Based in Yorkshire, I mainly play House (Funky/Disco & Tech), but will do the odd Indie and Hip Hop show too.

Arguably one of the least experienced DJs on Raindrop Radio but I've a passion and drive which resulted in me setting up the station, along with Steve James and the growth has been amazing, creating a platform and playground for some of the best DJs around.

RIch T
In the 90s I held a couple of resident spots playing US House and I'd DJ at the occasional house party. Sensible life took the better of me and I pretty much gave it up until just before COVID when some friends were throwing a Glastonbury event in their garden and I offered to play some tunes.  That reignited my love of DJ'ing and its consumed me (in a nice way) ever since! I now enjoy playing Vocal, Funky, Deep and Tech House.

James Lopez
lopez

DJing since the early 90's starting with Jungle and house before the emergence of UKG. Co-founder of Hertfordshire's iconic pirate radio station Prestige FM, Lopez also played regular sets in the late 90's and early 00's at various clubs throughout the Home Counties and London, warming up for some of the pioneers of the UK Garage scene. After a lengthy spell away from the scene, and partly thanks to the emergence of a new and evolved wave of UKG, Lopez has rekindled his passion and is back to doing what he enjoys most.

Bryan Ketler
D3D Drop (Dead Drop)
Bio: Bryan was born and raised on dance music. From following around his Uncle who was a DJ to falling in love with all things electronic in the 80’s. His journey into DJing started in high school when he would borrow his uncles dj gear to play music at parties. But it was attending his first rave party in Orlando FLA in 1993 that  gave him a desire to spin house and eventually breakbeat. He’s played all over Ohio and North Carolina and with Raindrop Radio now all over the world. He hopes to not only bring music to the masses but to educate about that music as well.
