Dazza D

I'm Darren Donkersley better known on Vectis Radio as DazzaD and I present a weekly 3hr dance show on a Friday Night 7-10pm called 'The Mashup'. The show covers trax across the dance genre along with a weekly visit to the UK Dance Chart and a whole hour dedicated to Old Skool Dance music. I love to share my love of dance music to anyone who wishes to lock in and I try to play something for everyone of all ages.

I came into Vectis Radio just over a year after it launched in Jan 2010 and since joining this amazing team I have seen the station grow from strength to strength. Considering its only a small modest community radio station it certainly packs a punch and I am very lucky and privileged to part of this great little Island station. It does wonders for the community and champions those with special needs by supporting them to learn new skills to prepare them in later life through the 4Ps Training School. This is why I love this station so much, it gives some much and asks for a little in return through show sponsorship and advertising local businesses. It's an amazing station, an amazing family and best of all an amazing sound. #VectisRadio #FM104.6 #TheMashup '
