Al Shack

Presenter

I have a career spanning almost 30 years in the music industry DJing bars & clubs all over the North West including Ikon & Jaxx, J2 & The Attic, The Bar & Bamboogy across Bolton over the years, as well as Tokyo Jo's Preston, Mr Smiths Warrington, Sol & Viva in Bury & Liquid Blackburn to name but a few.

I also run my own events brand called Discoland which produces both the Jaxx & Ritzy Reunion nights annually, as well as a couple of other brands under the same umbrella, Shakedown which is focused on House music & Sing it Back which is a night built around singalongs & power ballads. 

I have been a part of Friday nights on Bolton FM since 2012, starting on the Ultimate Dance Show until 2019,  Shakedown between 2020 and 2022, Jaxx 2022-2024 & now The NRG Hour leading us through 2025. I spend most of my free time locked away in my little studio making flyers, posters & video promo as well as producing & remixing tracks as Al Shack or under the alias of 2 Fat Deejays. 

My life has always been clouded by music in whatever genre it comes & radio was always something I always wanted to get into due to being heavily
influenced by Stu Allan & Mark Freejack in the 90's. Whilst I play dance music on the radio, in my own time, it's spent mostly listening to country music which
is a fact that people never believe.

You can catch the NRG Hour every Friday on Bolton FM at 10pm.
