DAVE BENNETT

About Me


Taken from www.g-bar.com;Dave started out as a DJ at in its day ground breaking venue Mood Indigo (Mathew st, Liverpool City Centre) and it was there that he crossed paths for the 1st time with G-Bar legends Neil James and John Cotton who where resident DJs at the venue, Mood Indigo became a Liverpool institution in the 90s and was the first Bar - Club venue of its kind in the city which is now awash with venues of a similar ethos.In the summer of 2003 Dave was given the honour of playing at the infamous G-Bar breakfast bar for the 1st time and 6 years on he still hold a residency at the mighty G as well as now being the assistant Promoter of the venue, acting as right hand man to Promotions director Neil James and being a large driving force in the direction and running of the club. Notable notch's on his CV include promoting massive events such as the critically acclaimed venture of Liverpools 1st after-after hours daytime party: Which was held at the G-Bar the day after boxing day (2006) in which they managed to defy logic and critics in keeping the venue open and full to capacity until 1pm in the afternoon!. As a team Neil and Dave have provided G-Bar with a long list of events and big hitters from the international DJ circuit such as D.Ramirez, Tim Sheridan, Jo Mills, Mastiksoul, Funkagenda, DJ Gee and Kate Lawler to name but a few on a regular basis.Alongside his work for G-Bar Dave has progressed around the north west and national DJ circuits building an impressive and respected name for himself, securing many high profile bookings including a 2 year residency at famous Manchester Club Night Twisted Elegance @ Ampersand, the Gatecrasher UK tour, Area51 plus several bookings at Nation (Cream) amongst others whilst working alongside many more famous names such as Martijn Ten Velden, Sonny Wharton, Jason Bye, Tom Neville & Format B as his success story has continued.Another notable era of Dave's Career saw him launch his own club brand REPUTATION which ran as a monthly Friday Night event for 4 years between 2004 and 2008. Reputation embarked on a roller coaster journey that saw Dave and Carlton build the brand from scratch and transform it from an event held in humble surroundings hosting party's for their friends in small capacity venues into one of the city's most recognisable and celebrated club events. Highlights for Reputation included commandeering one floor of Liverpool super club Garlands for new years eve 05/06 and booking worldwide talent talent such as Laidback Luke, Rebeka Brown, Patrick Grau & Alex Cartana whilst showcasing all the major regional players of the north west in its years of operation, with the brand ending on a high with a lock out 4th birthday event.Over half a decade since his G-Bar debut Dave remains part of the furniture behind the famous G-Bar decks and is resident of the Bassment room for Thursday and Saturday Afterhours!www.myspace.com/djdavebennett
