Born in Bristol, from 12 years old David spent most of his adolescent years in Marbella, Spain. This place was famous for its nightlife and by the age of 18 David was already helping run a bar with school friends. After a brief spell working back in the UK and travelling he set down in Ibiza, in need of some new scenery and a summer job.

He landed a job as barman in one of the island's top clubs, Space. There he worked for 3 summers. During a winter in Barcelona he teamed up with one of Space's resident Djs, Jeremy Norris, and together they opened Flat Cat, a bar hidden away in a posh area of Barcelona. It became a hangout for Ibiza heads and the city's movers and groovers. They began promoting their own nights in clubs such as Moog, La Via, OnOff, Apolo/Nitsa and were the first to use the venue which now houses one of the city's main clubs; La Terraza. All this time David had one eye on the decks and was getting into some of the fresher genres flying around at the time; The nascent West Coast and Nu Skool breaks scene, Drum & Bass, the whole Wall of Sound Skint - Mo`Wax beats thing.  

Soon David was back in Ibiza, and no longer a barman by trade. First playing down at Sa Trincha, Salinas Beaches favourite hangout when resident Jonathan was away, then a regular in Pacha's Funky Room and on the roof terrace for Ministry of Sound and Renaissance. Still keeping his hand in the bar section he was also resident down at one of the top bars in Ibiza port, The Rock Bar.  

1998-2001: After a winter playing at various breakbeat nights in Bristol and London and a spell as resident of the notorious Manumission Motel he was singled out by Danny Whittle (now Pacha director) and WeLove boss Darren Hughes who was about to open the superclub HOME in London. There he was full time resident for two and a half years helping program the line-ups and playing alongside some of the best and most upfront names in the business. Despite the premature demise of the club, David had gained a wealth of experience living and working in the UK club scene. A regular at The End and Fabric, living and DJing in Brighton and working for Skint records clearing samples. By now he was also playing gigs further a field in the Uk and Europe including a full time residency in a top new club in Zurich, Q. 

2002: Still a resident in Pacha`s funky room, The Rock Bar and Manumission, he began a 7 week stint at DC10's famous all day Monday session, Circo Loco. Here he could really cut loose, labels of that time like City Rockers coming to the fore meant that he could play stuff he'd never had the chance to air in Ibiza. 

Darren Hughes and the WeLove crew were onto this and by the end of 2002 they had taken him up again as their new resident. Summer 2003 they booked him for the evening set inside Space every week alongside James Zabiela. The change of sound from these two drew the crowds in as the terrace wound things up outside. The last 4 summers have come and gone and David has rocked Space week in week out, putting together sets of some of the most forward-thinking sounds in the club scene previously overlooked in Ibiza's sunny environment, yet still capturing the imagination of the die-hard house fans that Ibiza attracts. Nowadays, in the wave of German minimal/electro sounds he is more in his element but still strives to create a sound that is his own, adding a disco/Italo/punk funk element to his sets. 

The last two winters he was based in Zurich, touring for Sleepless Nights (responsible for the Ibiza reunion that goes on there), resident at Club Q and a regular on the scene. He also remains a resident for We Love events worldwide. Last winter (2005/6) saw him re-locate to London, starting as resident of Tim Sheridan's new after hours project, Very Very Very Wrong, and Ditched disco at TBar. After another fun filled summer, David began the autumn with a tour of Brazil and Argentina flying the flag for WeLove, playing in Sao Paolo, the famed 'Warung Club' in Santa Catarina and Cozumel in Porto Alegre, and is now playing constantly in central Europe and London.
