Coming straight out of Maidstone, a new blend of Dirty and Twisted Electro is making a name for Dave Silcox.

His work is frequently featured on radio shows including that of Pete Tong, Zane Lowe (Gave a remix 'Hottest Record In The world'), Fearne Cotton, Huw Stevens & Steve Smart from Kiss 100, had live & radio support for his new track 'Only You' from Laidback Luke, Gareth Emery playing 'This Is Love' & even none other than Tiesto playing 'Change My World' in his Clublife Podcast!

Do you have any advice for young people who want to become electronic music producers?
"The main bit of advice for upcoming producers is to make track after
track after track until you get there & don't give up. I made at least 300
tracks before I was happy with what I was making. With so many tutorials &
forums online you can find out what you need to progress so easily."
