BIOGRAPHY
 

We Love... Remix competition winner.

At the start of 2009 Dave was featured as ‘One To Watch’ in iDJ Magazine being described as someone you will be hearing a lot more of very soon, and we agree. No stranger to the magazine he has also won iDJ’s prestigious Raw Talent competition and also featured in the top 3 of DJ Magazine’s Pick ‘N’ Mix feature. He is a name that most within the industry will already know due to him having played at some of the countries best nights and clubs already, supporting and playing alongside some of the biggest dj's and acts in the world.

After making his name in what some would say in today’s climate the old school way of firstly being a dj, Dave has honed his sound by years of rocking dance floors learning how music affects people and what sounds get into peoples heads plus having an understanding of how dance music works through being in the booth looking from the inside out and it’s this that makes him a rarity among many of the new breed of dj’s emerging these days.

After a string of successful releases on UK and European labels picking up praise and support from the likes of Afrilounge, Perc, Max Cooper, Solee, Tomcraft, Gabriel Ananda, Konrad Black, Chris Carrier plus lots more, his talent and hardwork in the studio paid of when he was announced as the winner of our 'We Love… remix' competition with his remix of Yousef's ‘Africa’ being picked by the man himself as the winner. His remix is now featured on the end of summer compilation cd mixed by Jem Haynes and will be released by Yousef with the original on a major label in the near future.

His club night Freq! has just celebrated it’s first birthday and within that time  has hosted a whole host of big names and upcoming talent from the house/techno scene. It’s picked up top night placing in the midlands in all major industry magazines and is truly creating a new scene in his home city of Derby bringing it in line with what other credible parties have to offer across the country.

The last few years have seen Dave continually rise and rise going from local dj to being known on an international scale as a dj, a producer and now a promoter he constantly attracts major attention everywhere he goes and his success is a credit to his continued hard work, dedication, ambition and most importantly a love for music.

Dave James - we love... mix - November 09

After winning the We Love remix competition with my take on Yousef ‘Africa’ it was my first major achievement as a producer. Although I had lots of stuff released previous to this it was defiantly the time I realised all my hard work and sacrifice had paid off and I had truly been recognised.

So then We Love asked me to do a dj mix to go with my profile on the website which I jumped at the chance of doing. I have always been firstly a dj and have achieved a lot just through being a dj. With my dj mixes I try to encompass all the sounds I’m into and I like to think it’s the same with my sets. So with this one I start deep and groovy then it gets abit more techy mid set before ending on a tougher techno note. I always like to put a track in that all people will recognise and that’s why this one finishes the way it does.

 

I hope you enjoy the mix as much as I did making it.
