Bio: Growing up in Cape Town South Africa, inspired by radio an early interest in electronics, and a Casio keyboard, Dov’s involvement in music creation and production can also be traced back to the days playing with a reel to reel tape recorder and then picking up guitar in his teens.
By the time he headed to University he was involved in radio show production and DJing and always had a latest mix-tape. Apartheid era South Africa enforced a draft policy and while serving in the military Dov used soccer and performing as a rhythm guitarist in the ‘minister’s’ band as a means for avoiding other activities.
He left South Africa in 1992 and the influences he encountered ‘on the road’ would forever change the way he understood and utilized music. Based in San Francisco since 1994 Dov has been instrumental in the growth of dance culture in the Bay Area by producing multiple events, festivals, gatherings, importing and exporting music, working in music distribution, club manager / booker, working as a magazine website content developer, music reviewer, and serving as a label solicitor for major digital retailers in 1998 and an A & R rep and music buyer. Dov coordinated and booked the ‘conference / panel’ side of the first Summer Music Conference in San Francisco. He assisted in the development of multiple underground labels in the past 10 years and finally formed his own label Muti Music in January 2002 and build and managed music and media label, Cyberset since 2004.
Dovs first production on vinyl surfaced in 2002 and has since had multiple remixes and more recently solo outings, he produces as ‘Dov’, ‘Big Dub Project’ and has a collaborative production project with an-ten-nae as “D’n A” and also one with ‘Walter’ as “6C”.
Dov began performing electronic music in 1996 as both a DJ and doing ‘chill’ sets with his Groovebox 303 and has become known as an urban futurist pushing multiple genres usually with bass heavy beats DJing around USA, in the EU and South Africa.
