Dave Mak (aka DMak) sharpened his needles on the midwest rave scene in the early to mid-90's before transplanting to San Francisco in '98. Beginning as a radio jockey in college, DJing quickly became a passion and an outlet for his love for music and dancing. Drawing from his influences of Chicago house, Detroit techno and ever evolving underground electronic dance music, much of the music he plays is a fusion of melodic grooves, clean percussive rhythms, heavy baselines and often dubby overtones with atmospheric sound effects. Little is more satisfying to him than moving the dance floor with his music which is what he loves most about mixing records. Always striving to create easy listening dance music his mixes are long and smooth; forward thinking how to transport the listening audience from point A to B through his musical sound scape creating a "vibe" and a feeling to his sets.
