As though the decks weren't enough this talented artist also play keys and..DJ, Producer, Music Journalist, DJ Store Owner, Promoter and all round nice guy are just some of the multi-faceted roles that Dave Skinz is recognized for in his 16 year love affair with the electronic music scene in South Africa. During the day he runs DJ Mix Club, a pro audio store, which hosts the Denon Digital DJ and Traktor DJ Schools, while also offering Ableton Live and Reason Accredited Music Production courses. Skinz is also a respected industry journalist who writes regular gear articles for BPM and Muse magazines, a free DJ and band orientated publication distributed round South Africa. When the sun sets he is the longest running resident at one of the oldest clubbing brands in South Africa, ESP. When not cooking the ESP floors, Dave also throws his own small scale events under the brand name Skin Deep with his own rig, lighting, and gear. Dave has recently dedicated a lot of time to some dynamic new projects including producing and recording an electronic band "Ctrl,Alt,Del," in which he plays keyboard and bass. Another side project receiving a lot of interest is a live back to back DJ/VJ experience with close friend, designer and visual guru Paul Clark with whom he also scripts and conceptualizes ideas for TV shows.
