David caught the music bug at an early age when his father returned from England armed with all the popular music from the 60..s and 70..s. Growing up listening to the likes of the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, David Bowie and the Beatles among numerous others, his passion for music developed into visiting the Hacienda, at the time the biggest club in his home country of Tenerife.
Hooked on acid house, David was inspired by watching the likes of Dan Technics, Mr C and Steve Foster. Transfixed, the decisión was already made that no other career would do.
Fast forward to 2007 and David has become one of Europe's most in demand DJs and one of Spains best known exports.
Playing arguably the worlds best club – Space Ibiza at the closing party of 2006 is undoubtably a highlight. This year will also see David grace the decks in Singapore, Italy, Morrocco, France and Switzerland amongst numerous others. Based in Ibiza every summer, David is resident for Salvation @ El Divino, as well as many guest appearances at Space and Privilege – The worlds largest club.
Back in 1991, David was playing a small bar in Tenerife when the owner of The Hacienda happened to walk in. He was immediately offered a gig at the afterparty. Suitably impressed, a residency was offered on the spot. The last 16 years have seen him progress from small clubs to the worlds largest. It was after having nowhere left to play in Tenerife that David packed his bags and moved to London. It was this association and exposure to the electronic music of the time that prometed yet another move in 2000 – this time to the clubbing mecca of Ibiza.
Almost immediately the gigs started flowing in the small bars frequented by the club promoters. It was then that he was noticed by the promoter of Gorgeous who offered him a gig on the terrace of Amnesia. After a storming set at Amnesia, David was asked to play at the after party at Space the very same day!
Over the years David has played every club and superclub in Ibiza and some of Europe's most desirable clubs including Discotec in Barcelona, Ministry in Ãmsterdam, Friends in Valencia ton ame just a few, not to mention appearances in Brazil, Columbia, Miami and Argentina amongst others, sharing the decks with the likes of Erick Morillo, Steve Lawler, Deep Dish, Danny Howells, Sasha and Darren Emerson. The list goes on and is testament to the quality of David..s music which spans the House genre from Tribal grooves to Tech house and Electro and Techno. The early acid house influence still shines clear in David..s sets and it is clear this man has years of experience at the highest level and is set to go still higher.
This year sees David Herrera returning to Salvacion Ibiza as its top resident dj. You can catch him weekly at El Divino every Tuesday...please click on banner below for more info.....
