BIG DAVE

Big Dave’s love for psychedelic trance was sparked on the shores of Kariotahi Beach, New Zealand. That moment changed his life forever, setting him on a path through the vibrant world of electronic music. From that day, his journey has been one of constant exploration and growth within the global trance scene.
His passion for music took him to the UK, where he spent three immersive years in London’s underground rave culture. He became a regular at outdoor raves and legendary squat parties, where the raw energy and unfiltered sound had a profound effect on him. It was in these late-night spaces, surrounded by fellow music lovers, that Dave formed lasting connections and fully embraced the underground vibe.
Eventually, Dave’s passion for the music pushed him behind the decks. His first DJ set took place in a massive, five-story party in North London, where the energy was electric. From that moment on, he became known for his epic morning mash-up sets, playing alongside Wildthings Records, Beardy, and EVP at some of the most intense underground gatherings.
The pivotal moment in Dave’s journey came when he experienced the Opus sound system, an encounter that changed his perception of sound. Inspired to bring that same visceral energy back to New Zealand, Dave returned home and launched Dimension Festival. His vision was to revolutionize the Kiwi trance scene, and he succeeded, creating unforgettable events that introduced the Opus experience to a whole new audience.
Big Dave’s DJ style is a direct reflection of his roots in the London underground—fierce, psychedelic, and unapologetically intense. Every performance is an energetic journey, driven by the beats that captivate the crowd and keep them moving from start to finish.
You can experience Big Dave’s unique style live at Dimension, where he’ll guide you through an unforgettable trance adventure. It’s a performance that promises to leave a lasting impression, as Dave brings his signature sound to one of the most exciting stages in the scene.
