Dave Pearce

Dave Pearce is a British dance DJ and record producer, who has played gigs across the UK and the world, although he is perhaps best known for his work in radio. He formerly presented the long-running Dance Anthems show on BBC Radio 1, which was for most of its time aired on early Sunday evenings before moving to late Friday nights in its final year. His last show on BBC Radio 1 was broadcast on Friday 26 September 2008. He has brought several sayings into the world of dance including "putting on your trance trousers" when he plays a trance record, "roll another phat one" meaning to play another great record. He is also known for his cry of "Oi Oi!" from the DJ booth. Pearce has also broadcasted on BBC Radio 6 Music. He is currently a presenter on BBC Radio 2. more »
