Biography
With Bristol widely considered the capital of British underground dance music, native Pearce was presented with the ideal environment in which to launch his career as a DJ; he quickly became a resident at the local club nights Ripsnorter and Scream, and was able to secure his first gigs on the continent off the back of that success. He didn’t really rise to any kind of mainstream prominence, though, until 2011, when he signed to Pets Records and released a well-received single, ‘Entrance Song’.
Since then, he’s been a regular fixture at some of the biggest venues and festivals in the dance world - think Creamfields, Fabric, The Warehouse Project, Space and DC10 - as well as crossing over into mainstream festival territory, packing out tents at Glastonbury, Bestival and Secret Garden Party. In addition, Pearce has produced Essential Mixes for BBC Radio 1 at the behest of Pete Tong, and was the first ever resident DJ at new London club XOYO. He’s remixed tracks for the likes of Chicken Lips, Four Tet, X-Press 2, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Jamie Jones, and count count a slew of awards to his name already, too: DJ Magazine’s ‘Best British DJ’ and ‘Best Breakthrough Producer’ among them, in 2012 and 2011 respectively.
Live reviews
Eats Everything should perhaps be called Beats Everything. His completely mastery of almost all genres and his ability to tie them together near seamlessly is a skill I envy. Seeing him live was like watching a master artist create a new masterpiece and knowing that never again will you witness something so perfect.
His willingness to embrace new music and different genres make his show unlike any house or other gig you will ever attend. Eats himself dances around his tables with an awkward grace. His movements seem like he is coaxing the music rather than directing it to do his will.
He appears deeply contemplative but was more than willing to talk and joke with anyone coming up to him in the club. A kindly and jovial man Eats has a kind of quiet yet open intensity to himself. The same way that he embraces different types of music he seems to embrace different types of people. He added a lot of funk to some mixes and coaxed wailing beats out of others while keeping a deep, rarely interrupted baseline throughout the entire set. Instead of relying on heavy repetition his mixes seemed to constantly be adding fresh material and he moved through songs like a hot knife through butter.
Daniel Pearce, better known as Eats Everything has appeared on nearly every festival lineup across the UK with any form of dance tent since he became known on the scene in 2010. Now commanding a large following and impressive discography, he sits atop lineups at the likes of Reading and Bestival as he is assured to bring a hedonistic late night party to keep his revellers raving into the wee hours.
After a residency at XOYO and some incredible sets including Secret Garden Party and The Warehouse Project he now has an expert ability at holding a crowd and making sure they are enjoying the show to the absolute max. There is no real need for over complex visuals so instead he has some pretty simplistic screens flashing in bright colour to compliment certain tracks in his extended mix tonight. It really is all about the music though as he merges genres of house, bass and techno with his recognisable electro to create a hedonistic dance environment. Although Dan is yet to get round to recording his debut album he has EPs to reach from and holds the whole room for an hour of high class dance tonight.
