Anyone who knows urban music will know the name Ronnie Herel.
This year sees Ronnie presenting 3 weekly shows for BBC 1Xtra.
Alongside the now legendary “RnB Show” (Mondays 22.00-00.00), Ronnie now presents 2 new radio shows; The 1Xtra Chart Show (Saturdays 13.00-16.00), an eclectic mix of everything new in dance and urban music and The Ronnie Herel Show (Sundays 13.00-16.00) where Ronnie plays the best music mix new and old from his record box.
Ronnie has also completed filming for the MTV series ‘DJ Takeover’ which sees him present 5 programmes focusing on different genres of music that have influenced his career.
Ronnie Herel’s roots in the RnB club scene date back to 1989 with his first promotion The Kat Club at Bar Rhumba London. This soon led to 2 impressive London residencies…Club Yo Yo and Sound London further established Ronnie as one of the UK’s premier RnB DJs. Ronnie soon joined Trevor Nelson at the MTV Lick parties in Ayia Napa, Leeds and on the Radio 1 Stage at Notting Hill Carnival. Simultaneously he was co-founder of Uptown Records in Soho, working in the midst of new music. All this culminated in Ronnie being voted Best Club DJ by the readers of Blues & Soul in 2000.
Perhaps even more significantly, he had caught the eye of the BBC who were in the process of putting together an exciting new radio station that was to become BBC 1Xtra. Ronnie was one of their first signings and his RnB show, originally called Uptown Anthems, is now in its 7th year.
Alongside his broadcasting commitments, Ronnie is still very much a fixture on the RnB club scene. He is a resident for Love Dough (Newcastle), The Southport Weekender, Bohemia (Torquay), The Apartment (Swindon), Vibin (Liverpool) and Evolution (London). He also finds time to promote his own monthly night ‘The Big Squeeze’ in central London.
Internationally Ronnie plays regularly in Dubai, Ibiza, Ayia Napa, Athens, Mallorca and Thessaloniki.
It’s no wonder that Ronnie has been nominated regularly at the MOBO Awards in the category of Best DJ.
