It was great to sit and chat with Dave Neven about what’s in the works for his music and how he has found a way to pace himself with the Groove Cruise experience as a veteran attendee going for his 5th time this year. He talked about how a ton of people, including himself in the past, party the hardest on the first day and start getting burnt out already on the second day. He even said on day 2 during our chat that he was ready to fit in a work out right afterwards. Dave shared about how music and fitness have been some of the biggest parts to his life so far, and he makes it a point to go to the gym first before sitting down to work on his music.

Before he knew he would be pursuing music as a career, he went and got his Master’s for personal training. Even though he is fully pursuing only music now, he is still thankful to have the knowledge of personal training and fitness to take with him. We also chatted about his current focus which is now mostly going into his progressive trance alias Ocata. Dave makes it a point to apply his signature “darklifting” sound to anything he works on.
