RavePool | Ep 3: Interview with RavePool Founder

Welcome back to RavePool, a haven for rave music that focuses on independent electronic artists. For our third instalment, we present our long awaited interview with RavePool's founder, Dave Curran - also known as DJ Dave Skywalker. An intimate and engaging interview, hosted by not only long-time raver but also Dave's wife (!), this brings to light the catalyst, motivation, past, present and future of this platform. About the Hosts: Shazza: Shaz has been going to raves even longer than Dave has - having begun going to raves around the M25 and on the south coast in the early 90s, Shaz has a  direct knowledge on the history of rave music. In terms of RavePool, she has been the person who has watched it come to life, listening to unending discussions about the platform even before a line of code was ever written. She's the perfect host for this interview with questions hopefully everyone has considered at least once. Dave: Dave Skywalker, RavePool's Founder, began DJing at friends house parties in 1994, a full 8 years after first buying records. As acid house progressed into rave, and then splintered into dozens of different subgenres, Dave has been there. His background in going to raves, becoming a label owner, helping to run events, producing, and travelling across continents and meeting thousands of people proves the foundation for what has become the RavePool platform, all while spending almost four decades as a software developer.
