Dave Clarke was born in Brighton, on 19 September 1968, and he's one of the most respected (and idiosyncratic) techno DJs and producers in the '90s.
Dave Clarke began his music career as a hip-hop DJ in the mid-'80s, shifting to acid-house and later rave near the end of the decade. He began recording for Stress Records (as Pig City) in the early '90s and also appeared on R & S Records, XL Recordings and his own Magnetic North. By the mid-'90s, he had gradually shifted away from rave to a brand of straightahead techno with the ferocity of hardcore yet the sublime feelings of classic Detroit techno. A series of three singles named "Red" gained fame during 1993-96 (the last went Top 40 in the U.K.), as did his ferocious DJ sets.

He's also known as a radio presenter, at the end of the year 2000 he hosted his own radio show, Technology, on Studio Brussels in Belgium where he promoted new techno and electro artists (like for example Terence Fixmer). But due to recording and touring commitments the show was canceled.
In September 2006 he launched a new radio show called White Noise, originally broadcasted on 3FM in the Netherlands, his show gained success and is now played in the Netherlands (3FM), Belgium (Studio Brussels), Ireland (2FM) and Turkey (FG Istanbul).
Also thanks to the success of White Noise he launched a new label, called White Noise (4) too, where he targets to release music that he played on his radio show and has not been released on other labels, mostly by less known producers.
