'My name is David Peacock and I am a dj from the North East of England the style of music I play is mostly techno but also some tech house. I play most types of techno the Swedish Drumcode sound, the Detroit Axis sound and the Tresor Berlin sound as well as lots of different music in the Detroit style, deep Echospace music and Basic Channel music through to fast minimal percussive sometimes tribal techno, and onto harder hypnotic sounds. I also play the present day slower minimal tech music on labels like Minus, Perlon and Sleeparchive.

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.'
