I love to be creative with music and sound. Especially for setting the right kind of mood in a song.

Dave Skinz is an experienced campaigner who has donned many hats in his 20 year plus involvement in the South African Electronic Music Scene.

He was born and raised in Cape Town and moved up to Jozi in the late 90’s to study. And while he was exposed to the vibrant Loop Street Scene and burgeoning Rave Culture that was arising in the Cape around the time, it was only in the throes of his tertiary education in Jo'burg that Dave began to feel that his passion and his path might lie within music and he proceeded to teach himself to DJ off a set of SL1210’s and a 626. And so Dave Skinz was born. 

He quickly moved into various small club residencies in before getting involved in managing and running a handful of record stores when vinyl was still the format of choice. On the back of the retail store experience Dave helped establish a series of DJ Schools and helped set up and, manage an array of retail stores aimed at DJ’s and budding producers as well as introducing and helped teach accredited music production courses. With his huge product knowledge and experience Dave is a perfect fit as the product specialist and brand manager for distributor Audiosure where he gets to works with brands such as Akai Professional, AKG Professional, Alesis, Xone DJ, Samson Audio, Hartke, and Gemini DJ. 

Musically Dave Skinz is a core member of Ctrl_Alt_Del who perform live electronic music as a band in which he is the producer and instrumentalist, while still engaging in regular DJ gigs. Over his career he has played with an incredible array of the biggest names in the local and international scene while serving over 20 years of his career as a weekly resident in some of SA's most underground venues.

Dave Skinz is a hugely respected figure in the South African Electronic Music scene and has a deep understanding of the many facets of the industry. He can connect with all levels of the industry and his knowledge and passion leaves a lasting impression wherever he goes.
