Dave, you are taking the crown for ‘PMOTY2024’ - tell us how you feel?
Happy New Year everyone!! What a way to start the year, absolutely buzzing with this. This is completely unexpected as these days as don’t get the opportunity to play out anymore. I have only played one gig in 5yrs which was at this year Halloween Masked Ball. This was one of the best and showed I’ve still got it.

Your mix sat among our most popular for 2024 and gained momentum throughout the year to be THE mix of the year. Talk us through how you created such a popular mix and how you captured so much love?
I just played the music that I love and enjoy listening to. It helps it flow and build the energy. But maybe I’m just lucky that everyone likes the same music as me?

This would be a great time to shout out to those that have supported you as an artist throughout 2024.
I’d just like to thank the Masked Ball gang for asking me back to play at the Halloween Ball. It was amazing to play to such a great crowd and on a banging rig again. Definitely my highlight of the year.

What’s next for 2025?
Hopefully a few more chances to play some music.
