Pete Bromley, a DJ legend ranked 17th globally by The Dancefloor Diaries, continues to make his mark from a record shop in Stoke-on-Trent. While many international vinyl buyers may not realize it, Bromley has a deep history in dance music, once playing across the UK in the 1990s. He has now concentrated on his local scene for the past 20 years, valuing the loyalty of his community. The Dancefloor Diaries recognized him as a respected underground selector with extensive musical knowledge and dedication to electronic music. Bromley taught himself to mix early on, practicing with radio megamixes and developing his skills by blending Madonna tracks in the early 1980s. His rave nights, like Introspective in the late 1980s, drew crowds of around 800 people. His record shop, managed for nearly 34 years, has shifted from local DJs to predominantly online sales, shipping vinyl globally. His personal passion lies in 1980s breakdance and electro, leading him to embark on a 15-year project to collect every seven-inch record that ever meant something to him, amassing approximately 4,000 singles.
