Dave Pearce chats to I Like Music

It's that shared moment and hands in the air thing and the great energy you get from people listening to trance. With trance and the instrumental breakdowns it's quite spiritual and uplifting anyway and there are euphoric moments which I like.

ILM: You began your broadcasting career in 1981 on pirate station Radio Jackie, in South London, whilst still at school, then worked behind the scenes at BBC Radio London. You're living your dream, career wise, what's your advice to young people on pursuing their dream career?

DAVE: Well, I've probably made about 5 million cups of tea throughout my career, doing all the donkey work, but that's all part of it. I would always recommend to anyone to go in and do all the voluntary stuff and learn that way, because you can see lots of people at work and see how everything is connected. Anything that's on the creative tip where… some days, for example, I'll work for 24 hours solid or two days or work through Christmas, so you have to be completely dedicated and a bit nuts but if you can get through doing loads of work for nothing because you love it, you're probably on the right track, because when you get it, you'll appreciate what you got and still be prepared to put in 100%. To be successful you have to be dedicated and go the extra mile. Just stick at it and do what you believe in. I stuck with the trance thing which went out of fashion but now it's coming back again.
