Deep Cliffs Weekender David Ripolles 2018/2019/2022/2023

David Ripolles ( Manchester, U.K) Ultimate Choice

Ive been collecting Soul 45’s of all genres for over 40 years but only began djing in the 90’s. My first dj’ing experiences were in Manchester, usually as the warm up, largely playing odd and obscure crossover tunes but since then I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to play at some of the best nights and weekenders across Europe, from Barcelona to Bamberg , Berlin to Oslo and many places  in between!

Playing two hour sets in the ‘House of Soul’ at the Prestatyn weekenders, over a number of years, enabled me to play a wide variety of different genres of music and lead to the style of sets that I like to play today, mixing rare 70’s and 80’s Modern and crossover, with a few 60’s, a touch of funk and a splash of disco!!

In recent years I have been a co-promoter and member of the Manchester based dj collective ‘Ultimate Choice’ playing at venues in and around the city and presenting our own monthly radio show. Currently a resident at the fantastic Deep Cliffs weekender since 2018, it’s been a pleasure to see this event just get better and better!
