#5 - David Silver

Born in Bozen, Italy. Lives in Berlin, Germany. At an early age, David Silver got to know the pleasure of making people dance. His love for everything house and techno came with listening to recordings from friends in Italy’s flourishing club scene, and his passion is reflected in his ever growing record collection. His never-ending digging sessions for vinyl are a reflection of a broad interest in music. All sections of the record shop are turned upside down when David visits. And what he takes home is a wide selection of records from the past fifty years.  David Silver’s style ranges from jazz to techno, with funk and disco being combined with classic sounding house. His style leans on Detroit’s tradition of combining various musical forms with raw electronic drum machines. The combination of classic sounding house, raw funk and uplifting disco proved to be a deadly cocktail for Sisyphos’s Wintergarten, where he regularly gets people dancing on the bar. Furthermore, his uptempo and energetic sound embraces the timeless sounds of Roland drum machines and the funky grit of MPC-sampled jazz & disco.
