Bio
Dave Lock is a Mexican DJ and electronic music producer with 31 years of experience, beginning his career in 1995 in Arizona and steadily expanding across the United States and Mexico. Known for his versatility behind the decks, he has performed across a wide spectrum of genres—including house, techno, trance, and breakbeat—while ultimately refining his signature sound in Deep House and Progressive House, where he is now most recognized. His sets are defined by hypnotic flow, emotional depth, and a commitment to the underground ethos that shaped his early years. As a producer since 2006, Dave has released music on respected labels around the world, earning a reputation for intricate melodies, evolving arrangements, and groove‑driven storytelling. His studio work blends modern progressive sensibilities with classic deep‑house warmth, resulting in tracks that resonate equally on dancefloors and in dedicated listening spaces. Dave has also contributed to the global scene through his past work as a moderator and music critic at ProgressiveHouse.com and as a resident DJ at DJZone.gr, roles that helped shape community dialogue and support emerging artists within the progressive house movement. Now based in Tucson, Arizona, he continues to champion forward‑thinking underground music while maintaining strong ties to both his local community and the international progressive house landscape.
