Dave’s musical endeavors kicked off in the ’80s as the drummer for legendary hardcore punk band Discharge (check back of the first Metallica album)… Later he switched to guitar, recording an album for the infamous Earache imprint… After this recording he became immersed in the new electronic soundz from Detroit & Chicago that were infiltrating the UK, and found inspiration from the productions of Maurizio & Basic Channel.

Today, he continues pushing forward and finds his productions/remixes appearing on: Supplement Facts, Rekids, 100% Pure, Connaisseur, Kanzleramt, Intacto, Remote Area, Cocoon…

He brings with him a DJ fanbase that stretches globally from current top draw DJs through to established old-school titans such as; Jeff Mills and DJ Rush, to Gilles Peterson & Michael Reinboth.

Together with 2000 and One, Dave penned the massive summer ’06 hit “Pecan” and other hits include “Standing In Line” & “Today Tomorrow and Yesterday” amongst others. His Tracks have appeared on compilations by: Ministry of Sound, Global Underground, fuse, Kontor.

His DJ & Live act has seen him perform at major festivals: Awakenings, Welcome to the Future, Sensation, Tomorrowland & Mysteryland.

Never afraid to take on fresh ideas and innovations, Dave constantly surprises. As dance music shifts and changes he keeps on top and adapts, but still roots his productions in quality & originality. His output has become renowned for its pumping rhythmic style and melodic hook lines. Tracks can be both smooth and dreamy, or dark and pounding (often at the same time). He can switch styles as only a bona fide musician can, but what set’s him apart, is the innate ability to combine his sound with double doses of rawness with elegance!
