His unique and extraordinary talent to complement any DJ and all styles of ‘House Music’ .

​

Naturally gifted, you only need to witness how he understands, connects and excites the crowd, taking them to another level, fusing the groove between DJ and dancefloor.

​

David is all about the live interactive show and has thrilled millions of clubbers across the globe, playing alongside the world’s top DJs including the late Frankie Knuckles, Ferry Corsten, Pete Tong, Tall Paul, Erick Morillo and Fat Boy Slim to name but a few. 

Playing drums since 1977

Along the journey David has  enjoyed top flight residencies in Ibiza’s Manumission, Space, DC-10, Pacha, El-Divino, Eden, Amnesia and Underground. He's played the top venues in Europe, North America, Africa and Asia and has worked with the biggest brands in dance music including Hedkandi, Ministry of Sound and Cream. David’s biggest capacity was playing in front of 15’000 dancing people at the Bacardi Blast ‘Full Moon Party’ in Goa, India.

UK-based and affectionately known as ‘The Bongoman’ (or, when in Ibiza, ‘El hombre timbale’), David’s past major British club residencies include Pussycat Club, Brighton (2001-2002), The Syndicate Superclub, Blackpool (2002-2005), The End, London (2002-2004) and Fire, London (2002-2011). Since 2011 David has been the resident percussionist at Popcorn in Heaven Nightclub, London. 

For David, it’s all about the ‘live’ performance, he has a style and consistency that is completely unique: “I never know what the DJ is going to play… you have to feel the vibe… organically I connect the DJ to the dance-floor.” And connect he does! David has won the trust and respect of the club scene’s elite DJs, his pure improvisation of rhythm is simply infectious.
