D.A.V.E. the Dummer

Deck technician and production wizard, D.A.V.E. the Drummer is no newcomer to the world stage. Over the last three years he’s taken his unique DJ sound to countries such as: Brazil, Japan, Australia, Venezuela, America, and Canada to name but a few.

D.A.V.E.’s roots are in the controversial London acid techno movement. His productions over the last six years have appeared on labels such as Smitten, Bionic Orange, Hazchem, C.O.S.H.H, and of course the Liberator DJ’s Stay Up Forever imprint.

There have also been many releases on labels like Noom, Pounding Grooves, Primate, Harthouse, Molecular, Euka tech, Chris Liebing’s CLR label and Fine Audio Recordings (which appeared in the German charts). Remixing duties have led to work for Hardfloor and chart bands The Orb, Secret Knowledge and Jesus Jones.

But fast forward to the present day. His diverse taste in music and shift to a more widely accepted production style is reflected in the establishment of his own label Hydraulix, receiving phenomenal support from a wide cross section of DJ’s that have included everyone from Carl Cox to Judge Jules.

Predictably the U.K. national press has been quick to acknowledge him. Interviews and guest reviews have appeared in all major publications such as Mixmag. DJ Magazine. and Wax magazine.

Dave the Drummer is a rare breed of musician who possesses the ability to cross techno with many other different forms of music ultimately driving the genre forward in the 21st century.
