My Mate Dave

About Me

Although a DJ I like to think of myself as more of a selecta. I specialise in playing as warm up for live performances and in between acts. I work the vibe for record releases, label launches and independant artists.Open to all music, with a particular interest in folk and acoustic singer song writers.I spend all day every day listening to music and get a little obsessed from time to time which can send some around me a litle crazy; but it keeps me sane.Growing up; My music heritage was Reggae,Rock, Ska, Dub, Jazz, Funk,Folk,Soul and 60's R&B; these are now my dance floor fillers that I spin alongside Dubstep, Electronica,Beats and Bass (with a peppering of TIN PAN ALLEY POP)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jeff Tweedy, Will Oldham, Gill Scott Heron, Fela Kuti, Odetta, Mark Prichard (without hair) and Alex Pilkington (with hair). Who I fancy... Chan Marshall (Cat Power), Joni Michell from 1976 and my wife (from 1992)
