Dave is an influential DJ who has graced the decks now for over thirteen years, his unique multi-genre capabilities ensure that whatever your requirement, the complete solution is always at hand.

Dave first got involved with Dance Music at the age of 16 when he started attending various under 18 events locally, this was where he was inspired by the sound of electronic music, something he was determined to be a part of. At the offset he learnt how to beat mix on a single belt drive deck with no pitch control and a mixer with a single tape player connected to the other audio channel, I suppose this is where it all began.

On a quest to succeed, Dave spent a lot of time & effort acquiring both the skills & the finance needed to start out in this very difficult industry, and before long had purchased his first set of 'turntables' from a top local DJ, this was to be the starting block from which he could build a career in an industry which was once unknown to him, and so he began compiling his very own mix tapes which were distributed to clubs & promoters in the area. Soon after, contact was made by a local club interested in giving Dave his first chance of playing live in a real clubbing venue, this is where the transgression was made from bedroom to club environment, which saw numerous club & private booking’s follow on from this.

Dave & his music partner at the time, decided it was time to take thing a step further, and so they both ventured into the world of self promotion, by starting their own club night called 'Bass Jam' a very successful night which spanned almost 18 months, hosting a variety of styles and guests through its time, like all good things this had to end eventually and seen the guys taking their own respective routes from there.

Next on the table for Dave was the 'Nu Generation' DJ competition which was held by M8 Dance music magazine, comprising of 3 separate heats and a final, Dave saw the contest through to the end and was announced 'Winner' of this prestigious event, which paved the way for many lucrative & profiled booking's that followed shortly after and even saw Dave promoting & headlining his very own event 'Parallel' in Falkirk with support from some local up & coming talent, and guest DJ's from 'Colours'. He has also run events under the guise of 'Dimension' in previous years.

Dave has fully committed himself into the Dance Music scene, constantly acquiring fresh technology required to make the grade as a 21st century DJ, he has also recently started producing some of his own tracks and hopes to spend more time in the studio developing his production ability. His overall ambition, dedication & love for Dance Music make him a unique figurehead in Scottish dance music.
