This Saturday 25th April Red Rooms welcome back BBC Radio 1’s DAVE SPOON.
Dave Spoon is no stranger to Red Rooms or Derry as it was him who brought in 2009 at Red Rooms with his New Years Eve show at the club and what a night it was. Currently gearing up for Radio 1’s Big Weekend and a summer of residency’s In Ibiza, namely Cream in Amnesia and Space with Carl Cox, Dave is first of all coming back to Derry to get the summer started here first.
Simon Neale, aged 30 from Portsmouth, has been playing with electronic music for years. Nowadays using his 'Dave Spoon' alias he's firmly established himself as one of the hottest DJ/producers the scene has to offer, releasing top quality productions with his trademark groove and rocking dance floors across the globe.
Dave’s first track '21st Century' was signed to Toolroom Records by Mark Knight in 2004 and this was a key point for Spoon, an instant success it was supported by the likes of Pete Tong and Roger Sanchez. The piano led 'Sunrise EP' followed and was instantly signed to Seamus Haji's Big Love imprint. With a lot of buzz surrounding his releases, the remixes poured in with re-works for the hottest underground labels including Stealth, Cyber, Toolroom & Cr2.
In 2006, keen to push musical boundaries and break new sounds, Spoon released 'At Night' - a dance floor killer. Championed by everyone from Deep Dish to Tiesto, the track caused a stir on dancefloors. With an added vocal in 2007 from Lisa Maffia the track crossed over as 'Bad Girl (At Night)' on Universal, it was one of the biggest records last summer, earning Spoon his first top 40 hit.
2008 was the breakthrough year for Dave Spoon and what a breakthrough it was.
Having landed himself a show on Radio 1's 'In New DJs We Trust', writing his artist album and writing with the likes of Pete Tong last year also saw the release of the massive Summer hit 'Baditude' Spoon recorded with Paul Harris & Sam Obernik on Vocals. A Chart and Dance floor smash this raised Spoon's profile to a new level and a new Audience. Spoon also released a Tool Room Knights compilation in 2008. Dave also launched his own label Televizion and it’s first release - Tong & Spoon ‘GAS FACE’.
He also wrote the title music for the film "Beyond The Rave" even remixed Madonna (both with Pete Tong).
2009 has continued to be successful for Dave. His label TELEVIZION has launched a bi-monthly residency at Manchester’s Sankeys Club, and between his Radio 1 show and touring to every corner of the world Dave is a very busy DJ. Dave always plays a blinder at Red Rooms and this weekend will be no different, in fact it will be better. Doors open at 9pm. Admission is £5 / £7 with Early Specials. This is an over 18s event and Red Rooms operate the 5-ID Initative.
