Better known as Blade from The Sect, Section 63 was drawn to the breakbeat hardcore emanating from London’s pirate radio stations in the early ‘90s, collecting records and tape packs for events he was still far too young to attend. Joining forces with Virtua and Method to form The Sect, the trio’s first release was on DJ Red’s Distance Recordings in 2003. However, they really exploded onto the scene in late 2006, with their debut single on Obscene and self-titled EP on Offkey dropping in the same week. Numerous singles, EPs and remixes across a host of seminal labels swiftly followed, cementing both their status at the forefront of the burgeoning Techno-DnB movement and their place in the wider scene. Operating as a duo from 2009, Blade and Virtua maintained a relentless release rate and DJ schedule. Their album ‘Fractured State’ was released on Subsistenz in 2011 and they founded their own label - The Sect Music – the following year. At the end of 2017, after countless hours in the studio and DJing extensively around the world for more than a decade, they released The Shutdown EP, before performing for the last time on New Year’s Eve, signalling the end of the project. The first Section 63 release was a collaboration with Mako on Warm Communications in 2016. Dave adopted the moniker full-time in 2018, for his debut EP on Mute:8. A steady flow of singles, EPs, collaborations and remixes has followed since on labels including VIA, Mute:8, Perkussiv and Subtrakt.
