'My name is David Peacock and I am 31 years old. I first fell in love with dance music when I was just 16 going to all the big raves around the country. For the next 5 years I must have gone to every rave and club going (or at least it felt like it!). I was really into Techno although at the time it wasn't much faster than House music and nobody paid much attention to the different genre anyway. When Techno started to getting progressively faster I started buying tracks from labels like Harthouse and Eye Q (as well as some slower Techno, at only 130 bpm!)

I first got into DJing when I was messing about on a friend's turntables... I was instantly hooked. I was still going to lots of clubs but spent more and more time playing at friends' parties.

In November 2000 I entered and won the Muzik magazine 'Bedroom Bedlam', with what was described as 'easily one of the best Techno mixes they had heard in ages'. The demo had started off gradually, building up into some harder Techno. The victory led to performances at several clubs.

My next competition success came in April 2002, when I entered iDJ's 'Reader's Mixes' with a CD described as 'Soulful Detroit Tech House' (with the emphasis on the word 'Tech'). The mix came a respectable 2nd place.

In April 2003 I once again entered iDJ's 'Readers Mixes', this time with a Techno mix, which placed 5th against strong competition. The mix was described as 'warm' and 'Detroitian' at first, gradually 'transforming itself into peak-time stuff'.

In April 2005 I entered iDJ's 'Raw Talent' competition and won (against equally strong competition!).

Whilst I enjoy producing mixes for competitions, my passion is playing to a live audience. Over the years I've played at many house parties and a number of pubs and clubs. I would very much like to be considered for bigger venues in exchange for excellent dj-ing rates.'
