Welcome to the November edition of 5 Out Of The Box! This month we are lucky to have DJ Dave Seaman take time out from his busy tour and show us what five tunes have been inspiring him as he plays around the country.
Dave Seaman’s talent as a DJ is undeniable, and he never fails to please Australian crowds whenever he tours down under. With over a decade and a half of DJing in every corner of the globe, producing and remixing many successful track under Brothers in Rhythm, and mixing some incredibly successful compilations under the Renaissance and Global Underground brandings, not forgetting he was editor of Mixmag at one point, Dave is at the forefront of the development of dance culture.
Dave Seaman’s DJing career began at the age of twelve, back in school discos. “I’d been on holiday when I was eight years old and saw a guy DJ in the hotel. So I wanted to be a DJ since I was eight really.” But he only acquired his first piece of equipment when he was twelve and went from there doing friends birthdays and so forth.
For those who have never heard Dave Seaman play as a DJ, then I recommend you take a listen to any of his Global Underground or Renaissance CDs. I would describe their sound as fun, bouncy progressive house, containing uplifting melodies and hypnotic trance elements. I ask Dave if this is a common thread within his music; I quickly find out that trying to label his sound is fruitless. “I just pick out records I like really. There are no rules to what I look for, if it’s a good record and I think I can get it into a set, I’ll try and work it into a set.”
It’s interesting to see that tracks don’t have to be the ‘latest and greatest’ to belong to a DJs top five collection. A track that Dave has had for almost a year is still giving him Goosebumps. Take a look at the clip to find out what it is.
