David Garfit

David Garfit is a musical obsessive. He’s also one of the new wave of DJ’s and Producers making waves in his home city. Not bad considering that city is Leeds – a place with a rich rave and party heritage going back to the dawn of electronic music. Moved by his early love of Hip Hop, David cut his musical teeth cooking up underground hip hop beats, with impressive results.
Having grown up hearing his mother clean to the sound of Diana Ross booming from the family gramophone, it’s no wonder David has turned his hand to the deep house and techno sounds which came form that same Motor City in years to come.
David’s style explores a deep house sound that takes in lo-slung grooves, rolling percussion and plenty of late night warmth on labels like Nocturnal, SLiCK, Crossworld, Love Not Money, Agora Audio, Fontek and LS City records. The likes of Miguel Campbell, Darius Syrossian and Miguel Puente have all gotten behind said records and with his Debut Solo album due for release in early 2012 he’s sure to make his presence felt in the underground house scene.
Producing such charming sounds it’s no wonder David is an equally well informed DJ, weaving his way through all things house, disco and everything in between when spinning his various wares around the country. So far he’s played with names like Joris Voorn, Matt Tolfrey, James Zabiela, Clockwork and many more.
The coming months will see David’s profile continue to go from strength to strength with his monthly residence at Leeds hottest underground Night, Nest, and playing alongside DJs like ViVA’s Darius Syrossian and Dutch analogue hero Gerd. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears open because 2012 is set to be a promising year for this rising star.
