Street Sounds Radio Presenter

Sam Shelley is a young DJ & Remixer in the Soul, Funk & Disco scene based in London.  As a child growing up he was surrounded by the music his parents played at home and on car journeys. This included his Mum Disco collection, his late Dad’s Funk/Jazz-funk music and both of their Soul tracks. His Dad’s collection included people like Donald Byrd and Curtis Mayfield. His Mum was a Disco girl back in it’s late 70s heyday going to many London night spots and even once going to the world famous Studio 54, he loves telling people that. Sam loves Soul, Funk, Jazz-funk, Brit funk, Rare Groove, Disco & Boogie music, his favourite artists include people like Chic, (featuring Nile Rodgers a very big hero of his), Earth, Wind & Fire & Donald Byrd. He is really enjoying this current revival of 70 & 80s Dance music.
