A Swift Half with Dave Woods

As the hype builds up towards welcoming the legend Skream back to LE11 alongside Disclosure on 11th October, we put the spotlight on some of the guys wholly responsible for the ebb & flow of our night. Whether its warming up the crowd for our special guests or supplying the grooves in the second room to offer that little something different, our residents do a fantastic job every party and over the next week we find out what makes these guys tick. Consider this a virtual 30 minutes down the local, with them supplying the tunes on the jukebox, a possibly sketchy back story and a discussion on what their favourite tunes of the moment are = A Swift Half with...



It's never by fluke that someone wins a DBE DJ competition, proven by case in hand Dave Woods. After fending off some tough competition in 2011 to win a set opening up the main room for Beardyman, he didn't waste any time in settling into the big room atmosphere and kick starting what was a massive party.

Then, like a true rock 'n' rolla, he went AWOL for a year, with plenty of rumours as to his whereabouts and general concerns for his safety outside the confines of LE11. Some tell the tale of a young man trapped in an underground lair of Hard Wax in Berlin, living off a drip feed of the latest bass heavy releases whilst being solely responsible for sorting the recycling before collection on a Wednesday. Others tell of a year in industry but we weren't so interested in actually listening to that story.

Whatever the truth, the man is back and Dave Woods returns to Loughborough with a years worth of anticipation bottled up inside him, ready to assume his rightful place as a DBE resident. To celebrate this return we have a 30 minute insight into the musical mind of Dave Woods, free to download and stick on your music machine of choice. And if you listen hard enough, you can almost hear those broken glass bottles and the tearing up of Modeselektor cardboard cut-outs...
