DJ Profile & History

Starting out somewhere in the Mid-90's as a mainly Indie / Alternative DJ in Preston, Lancashire, England, a wide and varied number of jobs later, we find Simon on the airwaves each Sunday for KURE 88.5 - Ames Alternative - KURE being Iowa State University's radio station, presenting a Sunday Lunchtime show, titled 'technical itch' (mainly because everything that can go wrong, might, and often has..). The show features a wide range of alternative, funk, disco, and a liberal helping of house and techno thrown in for good measure. The show can be picked up as MP3 archive, here (opens in new window).

Some places you may have heard Simon DJ over the years, in some kind of chronological order;
