Dave Seaman is one of the original pioneers of house music. He has been DJing for over 25 years, was the first editor of the clubbers bible, Mixmag, and has remixed and produced for everybody from U2 to Kylie and David Bowie to the Pet Shop Boys. He has also done over 20 mix compilations for the likes of Global Underground and Renaissance, been the main man behind the independent dance music labels, Stress Records and Audio Therapy and still found time to model for Levi's in Japan, present TV programmes for the BBC and tour the world probably more than any other DJ.

Old stager or not, Seaman still retains that impish enthusiasm that has always been reflected in his DJ sets and even when discussing dance music’s travails of the past few years, manages to find the sun shining behind the gloomy rain clouds. “We’re entering a new phase,” claims Dave. “Dance music in the UK needed to implode – the great acid house detox. We shed all the dead wood and hangers on. But this is the circular nature of fashion. I feel like I’m starting again almost. It’s very exciting.” He grins, then laughs.

“Although I knew I wanted to DJ really early on, my biggest dream when I was in my early teens was to get a gig at Casanova's nightclub in Wakefield on a Friday or Saturday night,” chuckles Dave at the memory. “I'd never imagined in my wildest dreams that you could get to travel round the world doing this for the best part of twenty years. I remember saying to my careers officer at school that I wanted to be a DJ and he very kindly suggested, ‘well, I think you should have something as a back up’.” He’s still working on the back up.
