Dave Beer Punk Rocker (Club Promoter/Producer)A man like Dave Beer needs no introduction to the dance scene. He was
involved in house music from the heady early days of 1988, throwing
house
parties after spending his formative years at art school and in Small bands. Often suspended, scraping through Art school
He
then travelled the world for many years as a tour manager for indie
dance
acts such as Sisters of Mercy, That Petrol Emotion and Pop Will Eat
Itself.
Touring with the likes of The Ramones and Motorhead and with the
rock'n'roll
ethos totally embedded, coming home in 1988; the summer of love, to
discover acid house, bitten by the bug of the Hacienda and the illegal
rave
warehouse parties. David found his vocation and started throwing
parties of
his own everywhere from disused libraries to old mills in the middle of
the
country. The parties were too popular for their own good and far too
much
police attention!As the rave scene exploded to crazy heights and the Criminal Justice
Bill
looming, in 1991 backtobasics was formed in an old gay club as a
kick-back
to the whistle blowing, white glove wearing, vicks rubbing and dummy
sucking
scene at the time. No one expected what was just about to happen. He
started
Back to Basics with his best friend Ali Cooke, who tragically died in a
car
accident only a couple of years later . They started the club as a
place for
their friends, who were tired of travelling to clubs like Venus in
Nottingham and Flying in London and of course the Hacienda. But the
whole
thing just absolutely exploded, within months they were turning away a
thousand plus, this Northern club started to create attention not only
from
England but all over the globe.Whilst remaining at the forefront of club promotion Dave has also been
a TV
presenter on several music programmes whilst running backtobasics as
well as
being very busy in the studio producing records under his sudonim "Out
of
Order". Dave has remixed the likes of David Bowie and Chrissey Hind in
the
past and is doing a lot of travelling and DJing on his own and with his
brand back to basics club tours. Although Dave is very busy he still
finds
time for studio work and has just been recording with New York based
band
The Glass and has a new release called "excuse me" coming out on Hip
Therapist label.Dave's musical style reflects a more open-minded music policy than the
DJs
with their heads stuck up their own arse who had appeared in the mid to
late
nineties. Dave's record collection and DJ style, whilst always
maintaining
his true identity as a four-to-the-floor house man, demonstrates his
wide
range of influences including from punk to funk to electro house whilst
always keeping it very party. This is why he is a favourite with the
fashion
set and is always invited to play the VIP arenas at summer festivals
such as
homelands , tribal gathering ectWith backtobasics having just celebrated it's 14th anniversary, there
seems
no sign of letting up as Dave and his band of merry pranksters carry on
their passion and their brand of hedonistic house into the next decade.Selected GuestingsUK Festivals - Creamfields, Homelands , Homelands Scotland , Tribal
