The Early Years
Dave London grew up in the dance music enriched country of the UK where dance songs are considered Top 40 and trance anthems are regularly feautured in the BBC Radio 1 Top 40 sales charts.
Dave grew up listening to such dance anthems as "The Spice Must Flow" by Eon, "Acid" by D-Mob & "Devotion" by Nomad. He cites Faithlesses anthemic "Insomnia" song produced by Rollo as the main influence that steered him to become an electronic dance music producer.
Dave London moved to Florida in 1996 where he actively began producing music with infamous breakbeat producer Huda Hudia.

"Clap Your Hands" was licensed to hard house monster label Tripoli Trax reached #7 in the Radio 1 Dance Charts. Dave London & Huda Hudia would part ways in 1998 due to Dave wanting to create his own record label.
