Trevor Fung & Colin Hudd-Spectrum Night, Legends, Manchester - Early 1989



Trevor began DJing in 1977 quickly gaining a reputation alongside the fondly remembered Steve Walsh including radio shows and live support. This led to him joining the Funk Mafia with Chris Hill, Greg Edwards and Bob Jones etc. playing the Soul Weekender & All-Dayer circuit but by 1981 his taste had exhausted the purist confinements of the "Soul Boy" movement and he branched out at Rumours London playing a broader selection of music.

In 1982, Trevor was invited to play at Amnesia (Ibiza) with respected resident DJ and friend Alfredo and later that year teamed up with long time friend Paul Oakenfold to set up The Funhouse. They then formed the infamous Project club in Streatham where they gave opportunities to many up and coming deejays.
The Project has been credited by The Media as one of London’s first clubs to play House Music. 
In 1987 Trevor returned to Ibiza with the Project Club concept playing a mix of Hip Hop, Indie, Acid and House, which became known in the media as Balearic Beat. 
His influence and what followed during this particular period is immeasurable. Fellow DJ's and friends Paul Oakenfold, Nicky Holloway, Johnny Walker, Lisa Loud, Nancy Noise and Danny Rampling were all visitors to Trevor’s events in Ibiza in 1987 inspiring them to launch seminal club nights in the UK including Future, Shoom, Spectrum, The Land Of Oz, and Trip thus changing the face of The UK Club Scene. Trevor played at all of these nights and went on to headline at the M25 Orbital “Rave” events Sunrise, Energy, World Dance and Biology.
