DJ / PRODUCER — Releases on Anjunadeep, Baroque, Alter Ego & more

Biography

DAVE HORNE (aka DJH) is a long-standing presence in the UK’s underground progressive and trance scene. Best known for his warm-up sets at The Gallery at Turnmills during the golden era of London clubbing, he regularly set the tone for artists like Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, and Paul Oakenfold — delivering early-night sets built on restraint, depth, and emotional pacing.

As a producer, Dave’s sound blurs the lines between house and trance — melodic, spacious, and compositionally rich. His early releases on labels such as Baroque Records, Discover Deep, Anjunadeep, Solaris, and Alter Ego earned praise for their clarity and identity. Tracks like The Road to March (under his DJH alias) captured a moment, while Q.E.D. challenged the pace of trance with a deeper, slower aesthetic — released at a time when few were willing to take that risk.

Now in 2025, he remains quiet — but connected. There are murmurs in the background. Something’s building… slowly.

Since it emerged in the 90s, progressive house has impacted the lives of countless people around the world. Heroes like Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sasha, John Digweed, Lee Burrige, Anthony Pappa, Dave Seamen, Dmitry Molosh, Dicky Trisco, Greg Wilson, Andrew Weatherall, Carl Cox, Soulwax/ 2manydjs, The Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada, Harri & Domenic, Justice, Flight Facilities, WhomadeWho, The Prodigy, Aphex Twin,LF System, Moby, Daft Punk, Slam, The KLF, Orbital, Underworld, 808State and many more have been advocates of this unique brand of club music.

House music isn’t just about the dancing it’s straight from the soul… 

I had to steal the following paragraph from ERAN AVINER SIMPLY because it is 💯 % unarguably correct.. 

“Because absolutely nothing compares to music. This language, whose universal vibes can 
be understood by anybody, connects people around the globe be it religions, cultures or ethnicity. Great tunes turn strangers into friends. One note expresses more emotions than a thousand words. Music goes on where words fall short. It simply touches your soul.
