Dave Lee (JN) tickets and 2024 tour dates

Biography

In a flash in the pan industry like music, Dave Lee is one of its notable survivors. As a record producer and remixer, DJ and curator, he’s now clocked up well over 30 years and, if such things existed, would be nailed on for a carriage clock for long service to

add to the numerous hits and landmarks he’s enjoyed over a storied career.

Lee’s first role in the industry was working for Rough Trade, eventually setting up the label Republic, one of the first in the UK to champion the house sound of New Jersey. They released tunes like Phase II’s timeless ‘Reachin’’ and also featured some of Lee’s

earliest productions and remixes, including early Brit-house classic Raven Maize’s ‘Together Forever’, one of Dave’s first pseudonyms.

His breakthrough came through with 1990’s ‘Do It Believe It’ on cool NY indie Nu Groove under his most well-known moniker Joey Negro. The follow-up ‘Do What You Feel’ on the newly minted Z Records, eventually went Top 40 pop and landed him a deal with Virgin

Records. It was the start of a purple patch that saw him become one of the most in-demand remixers on the nascent UK house scene, while later in the decade he had further crossover successes with ‘Must Be The Music’ and ‘American Dream’ (respectively as Joey Negro and Jakatta).
