In 2013, David released , a collaborative EP with producer and songwriter, Philip Lawrence. The EP featured a more experimental sound, with tracks like "Pray" and "Kinda Girl Ya Are (Remix)."
Continuing his modern streak, this album leaned heavily into contemporary UK hip-hop, trap-infused R&B, and smooth dance grooves.
The modern, aggressive electronic basslines and complex synth stabs require FLAC encoding to prevent the high-end frequency clipping common in low-bitrate MP3s. DJ Record Pool Notes:
Thumping, aggressive kick drums, polished synthesizer brass lines, and intricate vocal multi-tracking. The audio mastering is noticeably louder and punchier than his debut. Key Tracks for DJs:
Continuing his resurgence, The Time Is Now struck a deliberate balance between his classic 2000s R&B sound and contemporary UK urban trends, featuring collaborations with a new generation of British talent.
Returning to the UK spotlight, David signed with Insanity/Sony Music and dropped an album that debuted at Number 1 on the UK Albums Chart. The record updated his classic sound for the modern electronic era, collaborating with contemporary house, garage, and grime producers.
The atmospheric production on tracks like "I Know You" relies heavily on spatial depth and reverb tails. Lossless encoding preserves this stereo width, giving DJs a wider, more immersive soundstage during transitions.
