Been ridin' the waves of groove in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas since '91. Dave VanHook was introduced to music production at the age of 7. He was born a drummer! All throughout his years in school and into college, he excelled at anything having to do with percussion. When he discovered E.D.M. in 1991, it was all over. The love affair had begun, and to this day he still moves the hearts, minds, and bodies of people everywhere that he dj's or plays. His passion for the dance music industry has kept him around enough to know and work with numerous production companies and Dj's in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area, such as: Crown Music Events, The Soundtribe, Dallas United, Friends With Headphones, Fully Funktional Productions, White Light Productions, Morningside Tribe, Texas Proper Productions, and Invisible Empire-as well as most of their dj's and crews. Dave VanHook has been around and intends on remaining around, as long as there is good music and good people;) Music loves us. Music gives us the ability to share a unique & incomparable intimacy with all who listen. Keep on keeping on.The scene loves me, and I love the scene. LONG LIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC!!!! One Love and World Peace;)

shams D m – also known as Shams Drop Microscopic – has been a vibrant force in the Dallas DJ scene since 2002. His journey into electronic music began serendipitously in 1996, cruising the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh, when a friend played the timeless track "Children" by Robert Miles. At the time, neither the artist nor the song title was known to him, but it left an indelible mark. Years later, upon arriving in the United States, Shams rediscovered the same track while walking into the legendary Lizard Lounge in Dallas. That moment solidified his destiny in electronic music.

Shams soon became a regular at Club One and felt an irresistible pull toward DJing. He gained recognition among the Dallas rave community as a founding member and resident DJ of Afterlife. After Afterlife closed its doors, Shams took a brief hiatus but returned stronger than ever, commanding the decks for two years at Lower Greenville’s Nora alongside his crew, The House of Champagne. Building on this resurgence, he joined the renowned collective Capsul, further cementing his place in the scene.

Shams has also been instrumental in organizing celebrated music festivals such as Destination Unknown and has shared the stage with global icons like Doc Martin, Josh Wink, Sahar Z, Khen, Davi, One of Them, Stelios Vassiloudis, Quivver, Audiofly, and more.

Rooted in a love for synth-pop and new wave, Shams weaves sonic journeys characterized by melodic synthesizers and hypnotic rhythms. His sets blend Deep House, Techno, and Breakbeat into immersive experiences that connect deeply with his audiences.

In his recent work, Shams focuses on curating hypnotic techno, house, and breakbeat tracks, showcasing underground artists from across the globe. His sets evoke powerful emotion, unrelenting rhythm, and a profound sense of unity on the dancefloor.
