It all started 20 years ago when I bought my first vinyl. Pretty soon it became a collection and I bought my first Technics and a Rodec mixer. Time to learn to mix  track after track like a pro! My first bookings became reality and now I'm resident in Bocca, Insomnia Nights, Top Radio's Retro Arena,  Club Bar-LO, Chess Afterwork, ...

Festival : Beachland and hopefully more to come!!

Always passionate about music and clubbing, it was in 2001 that dave bought these first turntables "to make his weapons" and it was in 2002 that Dave really started his DJ career behind the turntables of Star Rock Café (Tournai, BE). 

But it was in 2003 that everything really took off when he took over as resident every Sunday at the famous after club Le Cube (Blaton, BE). 
For more than 3 years he will thrill & dance clubbers with a mix of his House & Progressive of the time. 

In 2006 he was entrusted with the decks of the "main room" of Escape Concept (Pecq, BE) which would quickly become the essential place for Tournai evenings.

In 2009, he decided to leave the adventure and take monthly residences in club. 
During all these years, he will have the chance to walk his records in the big clubs of Belgium : 
La Rocca, Le Café d'Anvers, H2O, Bliss, La Bush, Le Pulse, Le King's, Catacombes, Zoo, Mackenzie, Factory, Mosa,…

Since the day he was born Tom has been infected by a virus called ‘MUSIC’, growing up only made it stronger so he decided to do something with it…

Years of passion,practice and sweat resulted in a DJ career starting in the early ninetees when he swapped ‘all round music’ for ‘club and house music’.

From that time on he has been long term resident in some of Belgium’s most important clubs such as Extreme, Zillion and currently @ Versuz. Next to his residencies he was also invited all over Europe playing at Pacha-Ibiza, Nature One-Germany, Love Parade and more recently Sensation White and Tomorrowland.

His style is not so easy to subscribe but we’ll give it a try anyway: the music he brings is mainly House with some progressive, minimal and groovy influences….

Next to DJ-ing he also tries to spend some time in the studio, teaming up with PUSH he created Aspiral, Super Tiger with Peter Luts and some other releases to be found in the discography. 

Final quote: ‘The most essential thing in a set is the groove, if you hit that right you can make any crowd go wild!!’
