Local DJ’s Jonesy and lil Alex take up residency on Gaydio every Friday night between 8pm and 10pm starting Friday, December 6.
The station’s relaunch of Friday nights is the latest in a series of changes to both the image and sound of Gaydio over the past year. Jonesy and lil Alex are renowned for their unique ‘party house’ sound, blending anthemic samples with body shaking basslines and beats alongside the latest trends in house music.
Jonesy and lil Alex (aka Steve Jones and Alex Ryan) have been playing around Brighton and the South of England for the last 6 years. Jonesy is no stranger to music or radio, having hosted the lunchtime show on Juice 107.2 for several years and more recently founding Brighton’s biggest music festival, Shakedown. He is also now Promotions Manager and resident DJ at the South Coast’s number one LGBT club, Revenge.
Meanwhile, lil Alex claims to have played every decent dance floor in the UK, with a list of credits including the infamous Wildfruit dance tent at Brighton Pride, Ministry Of Sound, Fire, Hed Kandi and has played alongside acts like Freemasons, Laidback Luke and Fatboy Slim.
“We can’t wait to get back on the airwaves playing the music we love,” said Jonesy. “House music has had a huge resurgence and this is an exciting opportunity to lead the way and entertain both gay and straight alike!”
Lil Alex added: “The world of clubs, bars and house music can be a hard one to navigate, but both Jonesy and I have worked hard to keep our sets fresh and original. We’ll be hunting out the best remixes, mash-ups and bootlegs exclusively for our show on Gaydio”.
