We've got on board five of our favourite djs not renowned for a disco style and asked them to give us their take on all things disco.

First up this Saturday, Gareth Brooks - XFM Manchesters weekend headline DJ - more renowned for his love of Indie & Electronica will be breaking from the norm & airing his favourite soul-funk-disco tunes.

Then its Dave Haslam on the 24th July. Best known for being the longest running and final night dj at the world famous Hacienda where he helped pioneer the UK house & acid scene Dave will be bringing his Sweet Sensation brand to Funkademia.

On the 14th August old Hed Kandi stable mates, David Dunne & Jason Vereker will be re-united for one night only to give their take on all things Funkademia.

Last up Graeme Park on Sep 25th who needs little introduction. Graeme has been at the forefront of the UK house scene since the early eighties including a decade at the Hacienda and is still going strong today all over the world. Graeme jumped at the chance to debut at Funkademia, dust down the vinyl disco gems from his youth and relive the tunes that first energised him into Djing.
