Having been involved in music since the mid-nineties and producing seriously since May 2010, it was Daves creation under the System Status moniker that caught the attention of Untracked Recordings. Released in November 2010, Downtime was his debut release and a lifetime goal crystallised in 180 gram wax that went on to receive airplay from Gilles Peterson. Dave then emerged with Take Root from his concept project The Detroit Urban Gardening Ensemble, taking inspiration from the Julien Temple documentary Requiem for Detroit. Ashley Beedle loved the track and thought it would be perfect for his Out Here Audio label. The buzz on Take Root was huge following airplay from Ross Allen. Planet X sees Dave back as System Status and head honcho of his own label Night Sweats. All three tracks on this debut outing for the label are brimming with the analogue warmth of Daves beloved Arp Axxe and soulful samples from his treasured vinyl collection, creating a juxtaposition of sounds that are essential for any discerning space raver!
