Dave Audé has to date produced 133 #1 US Dance tracks, which means he has more number ones than any other producer on the Billboard Dance Club charts. He won a Grammy for his remix of Uptown Funk and has worked with everybody from U2 to Rihanna, Beyonce to Lady Gaga, Sting to Madonna, the list is endless.

And it all started with him establishing the Moonshine label together with Steve Levy in the early ’90s which was tremendously influential in the EDM space.

In this inaugural episode of Sound Habit, I talk with Dave about the music he grew up with, his influences from Giorgio Moroder to the Eagles, how he had to get rid of all but 800 of his vinyl collection and he did so by giving it to some of his fans. We also talk about something that is at the heart of Toneoptic, the power of the record sleeve, how he listens to much of the same music anyone would in his spare time, and how his career started with being a fan of Erasure and he is now producing them.

To accompany the interview we created a playlist featuring almost all the artists and songs Dave mentions during the conversation. Listen while you hear him talk, or after the interview, regardless, get ready for some 80's flashback and 90's club smashes, with a fair share of Dave's remixes sprinkled within.
