Dave Skywalker

about

Dave Skywalker, who runs Endor Recordings, has always been into electronic music. By 1986, at the age of 8 he was listening to US house music, having purchased his first record - Steve Silk Hurleys "Jack Your Body" - and was already annoying his neighbours with that "boom boom boom" music. As house inevitably moved into hardcore around 1990, Skywalker was known at secondary school simply by his nickname: "Hardcore"! During college in 1994, Skywalker began to produce hardcore mix tapes for friends and by 1996 had began producing his own music using free software under the name "DJ Skywalker", distributing these tracks himself under the Mad-P e-mailing list he ran. During 1996 to 2000 he played in venues around Bournemouth, UK, as part of the University student union, most notably Bournemouths lapdancing club "LoveSexy" and The Gardening Club. In 1999 though the assistance of Lee Richardson aka DJ Delirious he released his first dubplate, "Time and Time", and played a few guest slots on London-based "interFACE" radio. After graduating in 2001 Dave Skywalker released his first vinyl single on Nu Underground Recordings which he ran with companions DJ Hattrixx and DJ Dizzy. This was the now infamous, and considerably remixed, "Killerwhale", credited with being the first breakbeat hardcore tune released in the new 'old-skool' style, premiered on London's Hyper FM and remixed by numerous artists including Kniteforece legend Luna-C (part of old skool act Smart E's).
