Biography
_________________
His DJ-Carreer began
in little steps as a 16 year old gifted young Music freak in a popular
Pub. He started to collect all kinds of records and CDs until he
gradually had enough together to present his own music and DJ sets.
With commercial Party music he gained the chance to harvest his
first gage. The piles of records and CDs grew bigger and bigger.
Many years later he had
the opportunity to put on his music as an official Trance-DJ at
a local club in Switzerland, where he was presented under his new
guise Dave Joy. This new job opened many doors to other interesting
contacts which gave him the possibilities for other gigs.
In November 2000 he had
his first chance to produce an own track with a production team
from the French part of Switzerland. His first new born track was
named First Impression.
Out of a lucky coincidence he happened to meet Marco Reverb
Guardia, the mind behind the highly acclaimed Flutlicht
Project. (together with Giotto DJ they do their productions for
the German Label Overdose under the project name S.H.O.K.K.).
This unique remix happened to become a huge hit in clubs all around
the world. The track can be found on more than 50 compilations worldwide.
Beginning of 2002 he
started to produce the follow-up single with his newly found producers
David Kolodziej and
Mario Kaufmann. The track called
Second Chase has been released in
September 02 on Planet Traxx Records. Together with Germany’s
Oliver Kaylab Klitzing and
Alphazone he again was able to place two famous names as
remixers on the record.
At the end of 2003 they
separated from Mario Kaufmann and, as in return, welcomed Sandro
Oswald (Van de Traxx) as our new team-member aboard. This
collaboration started to release several tracks, remixes and projects
such as Schattenmann, Emphasysts, Final
+ Sylas and all the tracks with the name Dave Joy on it and
it's still growing.
In between the work with
his original studiopartners he also did collaborations with several
other artists such as Climax69 from
Germany. This resulted in the 2004 released track called Skywalker
under the projectname Simplex D.S.N.
Another project called
Basic Dawn was born in summer 2003
on the label Difuse from Uk´s
late Alpha-Magic Distribution. They
signed the track called Pure Thrust and let Italy’s NU-NRG
do a stunning remix. This track was written and produced together
with Switzerland’s Franky Fonell &
Chris Reece and became one of the biggest anthems worldwide
in 2003. This collaboration ended after producing two other remixes
and will not be continued. Pure Thrust will be re-released though
in 2005 on Pulsive Records from Germany.
2004 was the year of
the big change in his life. After four years of working in one of
the biggest Record shops of Switzerland, Number
One Recordshop in Zurich, he decided to move to Australia
where he continues to build up his reputation as one of the
best hardtrance-DJs.
