DAVE MAYER
DJ / Producer / Remixer
Dave Mayer (real name David Meijer) was fascinated by music from a very young age. The Dutch youngster (born in 1986) created his fine style and feeling for music by listening to the big variety of music styles in his father’s record collection.
In the late 90s he got interested in the funky and groovy sounds of house-music. He started playing house at small parties to gain experience, to get used to playing for a crowd and to learn from other DJs.
Dave Mayer’s career took off in 2006, when he got the opportunity to spin at the beautiful Hotel Arena, Amsterdam.
One of the residents cancelled and gave Dave the opportunity to prove himself, and so he did.
Dave was asked to play across the country, together with biggest Dutch DJ’s in house music, like Roog/Hardsoul.
In 2007 he started to produce his own tracks, which brought him a worldwide appreciation. His first project, a remix of JJK’s ‘Primitive Future’, was picked up by Defected’s Copyright and got released on Soulfuric Deep. Dave was now also getting requests to play outside of Holland.
Nowadays, under the wings of Hardsoul, Dave has proved to be a talented producer with his high quality remixes and tracks on labels like Strictly Rhythm, Soulfuric, Hardsoul Pressings and more.
Dave’s wide interest in house music makes him able to play at those intimate, deep and soulful parties, but also work the crowd with techy sounds in the bigger rooms.
Dave’s latest EP on Strictly Rhythm is charted number 1 in Traxsource’s Top 100 chart, world’s leading website for underground house music. |
