Dale Mannette
Guysborough NS
Dale, originally from the vibrant Halifax, Nova Scotia, has been an enthusiastic devotee of house music since the late 1980s. At just 18, while working as a busboy at JB’s Show Palace in Lower Sackville, he had an electrifying moment that transformed his life forever—mixing two records at an after-hours staff party. This experience ignited an unstoppable passion for vinyl, leading him to spend countless late nights honing his craft in a world of beats and rhythms.
His DJing journey truly took flight in the mid-1990s when he moved to Moncton. As a founding member of the city’s blossoming rave scene, Dale immersed himself in the local nightlife and sharpened his musical direction. He became famous for his unforgettable marathon sunrise sets, blending funky basslines with enthralling vocals that left audiences captivated.
When he returned to Halifax in early 2001, Dale seized the opportunity to perform more frequently and foster valuable connections with promoters. Throughout the 2000s, he became a beloved fixture in the scene, electrifying crowds in clubs, after-hours events, and festivals across the Maritimes. His reputation as a dynamic force behind the decks grew, and in 2007, he moved to Calgary, where he continued to captivate audiences throughout the West.
Upon returning from Calgary in 2016, Dale joined the Classics Crew, and since then, he has been dedicated to organizing thrilling events that feature some of the world’s premier house DJs. Known for his high-energy performances, he delivers an incredible experience filled with infectious funky basslines, smooth vocals, and an exhilarating 4/4 house onslaught.
