Dave Skinz Occupation DJ Dave Skinz is DJ, Producer, Music Journalist, DJ Store Owner, Promoter and all round nice guy are just some of the multi-faceted roles that Dave Skinz is recognized for in his 15 year love affair with the electronic music scene. During the day he runs DJ Mix Club, a pro audio store, the Denon Digital DJ School as well as catering for Ableton Live and Reason Accredited Music Production courses. He is also a respected industry journalist who writes regular gear articles for BPM and Muse magazines, a free DJ and band orientated publication distributed round South Africa.
When the sun sets he is a top resident at one of the oldest clubbing brands in South Africa, ESP. When not cooking the ESP floors, Dave also throws his own small scale events under the brand name Skin Deep with his own rig, lighting, and gear.
Recently he has dedicated a lot of time to some dynamic new projects including an electronic band "Ctrl,Alt,Del," in which he plays keyboard and bass as well as producing and recording the three piece band. Another side project receiving a lot of interest is a live DJ/VJ experience back to back with his designer and visual guru Paul Clark with whom he also scripts and conceptualizes ideas for TV shows.
Dave Skinz is a hugely respected figure in the South African scene who is not just known for his energy and technical DJ performances on CDJ's, Ableton Live, and whatever else he can get his hands on, but also for his equipment know-how, musicality, and ability to structure sets from electronica to house to tech that entertain and astound even the most hardened critics.
When he's not working Skinz enjoys spending time with his daughter, jamming his PS3, following the MMA world and patiently counting the days till Arsenal finally break their trophy drought.
