Born the son of a Jazz musician and elder brother to British hip-hop artist Monie Love, Dave’s path in music came to the fore during the explosion of acid house in London, back in the late 80’s. Hosting one of the zeitgeist shows of its time, his weekly broadcast on pirate radio station Phaze One (alongside Fabio and Groverider), saw him champion a new sound that was gradually captivating the youth of the country and catapulted him into the media spotlight, with notable publications including Mixmag, DJ Magazine and The Guardian; all proclaiming Dave as a one of the major forces in the UK techno/acid house scene.
Officially launching his name into the limelight, and on a national level, Angel’s reworking of ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics in1991 was such a success it went on to debut at #23 in the UK Singles Chart after RCA were forced to release the track due to the incredible reaction it had received at club level. As a remixer, he has been invited by some of electronic music’s most revered artists and acts to apply his artistic trade to their music including Orbital, Sun Electric, Carl Cox, Spooky, James, Roni Size, Model 500 and Underworld. Whilst the formation of his renowned Rotation Records also gave the earliest platform to some of the biggest names in the scene today, such as Adam Beyer, Christian Smith, Deetron, Vince Watson, Laidback Luke, The Advent, Jamie Anderson, Bryan Zentz, Steve Rachmad and Misstress Barbara among many.
As has long been attested by the scene’s biggest names and continually backed up by his constant slew of robust dancefloor gems, Dave Angel remains one of the electronic community’s true characters, whose industrious approach to his craft gives off an aura of positivity like no other, a kind of warmth that you cannot fail to feel through his exceptionally, uplifting music.
