Having been writing music for many years, Dave started the band, DYMENSION in the early '90's. With the first release "Don't Stop" in 1993, which remained at the number one spot of the Scottish dance chart for over 5 weeks, this provided an ideal building block.

Following this first release, DYMENSION have had to date a further five singles released and one album, "Fantasy". Three of those singles ("Inside My Fantasy", "Give In To Me" and "Power & Passion") also reached the same number one spot, with the others ("I'm The One You Need" & "Move Into The Rhythm") gaining positions in the top five. The release "Power & Passion" was also given the title "Record of the Week" in the music industry paper 'Music Week' when it was released.

DYMENSION have also been regulars on the Live Club/PA circuit since 1993 and have played at and continue to perform shows at venues all over the UK and Europe. A notable highlight was performing at one of the famous "MAYDAY" raves in Budapest, Hungary in front of over twenty five thousand people, which was filmed for Hungarian national television.

Dave has also successfully remixed tracks with his former long time associate Tom Wilson for a variety of internationally known artists and major record labels. Remixing songs by artists such as Belinda Carlisle "Heaven Is A Place On Earth", Charly Lownoise and Mental Theo "Wonderful Days" and X-Pansions "Move Your Body".

As well as having UK national chart success with the remixes of Scooter "Back in the UK" (No. 18 in the UK chart), Mary Kiani "Let The Music Play" (No. 19 in the UK chart), DJ DADO version of the "X-Files Theme" (No. 4 in the UK chart) and ICE MC "Bom Digi Bom" from the film 'Trainspotting' which also enjoyed UK chart success amongst others, both here and in other European countries.

Dave, who is currently busy in the studio, has also collaborated with one of the writers of the well known dance hit "Not Over Yet" by Grace on the Perfecto label, Mike Wyzgowski. Together they have co-written many songs so far using a variety of different musical styles and this has also allowed Dave to meet other writers, such as Rob Davis, the writer of hits such as, Fragma "Toca's Miracle", Sophie Ellis-Bextor/DJ Spiller "Groovejet" and Kylie Minogue "Can't Get You Out Of My Head".

With future DANCELAND projects and collaborations in process, they are the ideal ways for Dave to continue expanding his musical career.
