{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"DJ Jay Dunaway Music","slug":"jaydunaway","podcastDescription":"

This is DJ Jay Dunaway Music, the official podcast of DJ Jay Dunaway, formerly known as DJ XLNC.

For over 30 years I've been reading rooms and moving crowds, from basement parties and radio waves to clubs, weddings, and cultural celebrations across Cambridge, the Waterloo Region, the GTA, and beyond. This podcast is where all the music lives.

Every episode is a full DJ mix, no talk breaks, no filler. Just carefully curated sets that go somewhere. Whether it's the high-energy Fix Mix series, the deep cultural sounds of FLUX, the soul and romance of Love Bug, or the throwback Archives Mixtape Series pulling from 30 years of crates, there's something here for every mood and every moment.

What you'll hear: R&B · Hip-Hop · Afrobeats · Amapiano · Dancehall · Soca · Reggae · AfroHouse · House · Slow Jams · Old School · Neo Soul · Commercial Pop

New episodes drop regularly. Subscribe so you never miss a mix.

💍 Available for weddings, corporate events, cultural celebrations & private parties 🌍 Specializing in Urban, Caribbean & African cultural events 📍 Based in Cambridge, Ontario, serving Waterloo Region, GTA & beyond
