Aspiring producer, DJ, multi genre dance music lover. 

Hi everyone. Whilst I enjoy all types of music, I discovered dance music in my teens and have been captivated since. Whilst DJ'ing in my 20's on the south yorkshire underground dance scene I was inspired by the house / trance / hard dance music of the time in places like Gatecrasher, Insomniacz, Sundissential and the Warehouse. More recently melodic deep and chilled beats from the likes of Anjuna. 

These influences can be heard in the music I'm now producing which is energetic, soulful and emotional. Whilst trance is my first love and focus, I enjoy collaborating with other artists and dj's so hopefully will be creating a broader range of sounds over time.

I'm one half of The Donny Donkers and part of the Fan Club Collective. Making and playing music, having a laugh and learning- the journey is more important than the destination. Doing it for nothing more than fun and the love of it - this is what makes me happy. 

Hope you enjoy my contribution and would be great to have you along on this journey.

I am a music aficionado who finds joy in exploring a wide range of genres and artists, appreciating the diverse rhythms, melodies and harmonies that fill my world with passion and excitement.

I'm Dave Jobe , I am all about elevating music and the artists behind it. As a music promotion powerhouse, I specialize in brand awareness and digital marketing strategies designed to amplify your sound and expand your reach.

Biography:

Northling began as a collective in 2017 and quickly began to find their place in the arenas of nu-jazz and electronica. 

Originally the band started as a trio but grew in 2020 and 2021 with the addition of three more members. 

They got to work writing an album from home during the pandemic and the resulting self-released debut album ‘Ways of Seeing’ won both the 'Best Album' and 'Groundbreaker' awards at the North West Music Awards in 2021. 

Excitingly, in early 2022, following the success of Genix's remix of their track 'Take Our Time', Northling was signed to 'Reflections', the third sub-label of Anjunabeats, which is owned by renowned, Grammy-nominated artists Above & Beyond. 

Northling's subsequent releases under this label, so far being EPs 'Tycho', released in September 2022 and 'Hallowed Ground', released in September 2023, have garnered support from BBC Radio 1, have enable their release of Apple Music exclusive mixes, and saw Northling booked to perform a DJ set at Anjunadeep Open Air Festival at Finsbury Park in August 2023; two of the six members have prior experience DJing internationally and make a perfect sub-team, as it were, for such events. 

Further, the collective had its first sold out show as a six-piece at The Old Joinery, Greenwich in September 2023, which led to the release of their third EP on Reflections, being 'Hallowed Ground live from the Old Joinery', which includes live versions of the main singles from the EP plus a couple of extra tracks. 

Upcoming in 2024 so far is the band's February 1st show at NTs Loft, Hackney, wherein the band will play as one of three acts at the Reflections Showcase event. 

Northling's DJ leg is also in-line to perform at international events in the coming year.
