About The Cunning One:
"A DJ for the people, always aiming to please the crowd through an energetic and eclectic mix of no-nonsense music"

Jay Cunning's been in the mix since day one with various styles of Old Skool, House, DnB and dare we say it; Garage. In 1996 he started to consolidate this jockey sluttage and opted for a bit of monogamy and settled down with Breakbeat.
Nowadays his Weekly show on Kiss FM, international gigs and the running of Menu Music sees Jay as one of the hardest working DJs on the scene.
Since his early residency on Breaks FM back in 99 to his 5 year residency @ The End with Andy C's Ram Records Jay's versatility he's seen him putting about across the world from Russia to Canada, Spain to New Zealand and has acclaimed production collaborations with some of these scenes finest.
Jay joined forces with Atomic Hooligan in 2004 to form 'Menu Music', a concept that focus's on throwing up big party tunes on their now highly acclaimed record label.
2009 saw Jay pick up the mantle once more to start Sub Slayers, a brand new record label focusing on tur Breakbeat with a twist of Dubstep.
