"Over the past two years Dave Avid (David Wagner) has been on the grind in the production and DJing game. With over 50 productions under his belt, and lots more on the way, he is quickly establishing himself for a breakout in 2008. An EP with Aphrodisio (Minneapolis) and two more for Summer Rain (London) will start things off just fine. But the road here wasn’t easy.
David grew up in a relatively quiet community of Rochester MN – not exactly a hotbed for Electronic Dance Music. The Big Beat scene, which sweeped much of the US in the late 90’s with acts like The Crystal Method and The Prodigy, started him off. Dave’s interest quickly grew towards other EDM genres. At sixteen, trance became his first love. The melodic tastes of artists like Armin van Buuren and Tiesto are what pushed him to DJing and later production. Early collaboration with Peter Carr (David & Carr of BlackHole) ultimately led to an ETN.FM radio show under the alias Avid & Petro in 2005. Since then, Dave has buckled down and focused on producing in various styles and genres.
Currently being hailed as one of the best young talents out of the Minneapolis region Dave Avid is definitely someone to keep an eye on. You can find him playing the Minnesota Independent Music Festival on Feb. 8th and 9th in 2008. And on “The Current” radio program with support from Chris Roberts. Of course look for Dave’s upcoming releases that are sure to be as fun and crazy as he is." (-) collapse
