DAVE MAYER
DJ / Producer / Remixer

 

 

Dave Mayer (real name David Meijer) was fascinated by music from a very young age and 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, groovy and soulful 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 professional 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 and international DJ’s in house music, like Roog/Hardsoul, Derrick Carter, Sergio Flores, Junior Jack, Danny Marquez, Kid Creme, Random Soul (Yogi & Husky) to name a few.

 

In 2007 he started to take producing seriously. 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, like Italy, Hungary, Greece, USA and Australia, with residencies at renowned clubs, like MIX Club Budapest (HU) and REX Club Hilversum (NL).

Nowadays, under the wings of Hardsoul, Dave has proved to be a talented DJ/producer with his high quality remixes and tracks on labels like Strictly Rhythm, Soulfuric, Hardsoul Pressings, Salted Music, Ultra, etc and with tracks on the renowned Defected In The House compilations.

 

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 jacking and techy sounds in the bigger rooms.

 

Dave’s latest EP ‘Club Section’ on Strictly Rhythm was charted #1 on Traxsource.com, world’s leading website for underground house music. ‘Funky Like That’ ft. Roland Clark was charted #9 of best selling House tracks of 2011.
