With over 16 years in the music industry, Gavin Payne is no stranger to a packed dance floor. His prolific DJ Career has seen him play with some of the biggest names in dance including Judge Jules, Hed Kandi, Seb Fontain, Mood 2 Swing, Kerri Chandler and John Cutler. Gavin is no stranger to radio; 2 years on Corks RED FM established him as commercial radio DJ, but Gavin’s real love is playing house music to people that love house music. His “Weekend Sounds” house show on the Cork pirate “Radio Friendly” ran every Saturday for seven years.

Dave Manning has been involved in music for 13 years. During this time he has earned a reputation as one of the most dedicated and passionate Irish DJs in the business. He has played alongside the likes of Boy George, Tim Delux, Krafty Cuts and Hed Kandi, and is currently deep in studio producing records on his own “Rinse’n” label. Dave regularly graces clubs across the country, wows with his technical ability and lives up to his name as one of the rising Irish DJs to look out for.

The Pre Party with Gavin & Dave is every Saturday night on RTE Pulse. It’s all about getting ready for a serious night out. The world’s best dance music, upfront anthems and a sprinkle of old classics, all mixed up into a two hour show that should be played VERY LOUD.
