Dave Ralph was on-point at HFStival in Washington, DC last Sunday! He tore it up!!!

He is a nice guy, too. I talked to him after one of his sets at Buzz last year, the night before Ultraworld's Odyssey. Buzz was closing early - noone was really even left in the building, and he was trying to pack his stuff up to go, but was still as polite and cool as could be. He ended his set with Steve Miller's "The Joker" that night, with nothing mixed in, just the original vinyl. That was pretty unforgettable.

I saw Dave Ralph last year here in madison (one of my friends actually got him booked at one of the fraternity houses on campus). Anyways it was a pretty good show, decent mix of prog/trance. Ended with Flesh, that was cool.

Dave Ralph used to do a resident in Philly at Evolution. I'm not sure anymore because I haven't had the chance to get out to Evo for him.

But every time I've ever seen him there, he was amazing! Dave does not play alot of anthems and tracks that we would hear in a Tiesto / PvD set. He's more progressive and definitely more of a chill style. Kinda like Christopher Lawrance.

As in any DJ, you have to hear their livesets to really appreciate how good they are. Most CDs that DJs release do not really showcase their talent.

Seriously! Yeah, for the most part Dave's chill, but sometimes he delivers a hard edge - enough to set the dance floor on fire.

Although not at all new, there are some decent live sets of his that I've gotten online. I haven't downloaded his Kharma set, but his Transportation in Alaska is pretty good.

yeah, dave is resident here in washington dc @ buzz. i've seen many of his sets, though i usually try to avoid them. most of the time i don't like them, but every so often he impresses me. actually, he's impressed me twice.

i've never really liked his mix CDs either, but i have all of them. the naturalized 2-disc set is the best, but that's not saying much. some good tracks on it, but not much flow.
