Successful DJ Marcel Woods from Eindhoven has announced his last DJ gig after a long and fruitful international DJ career. By taking this step he is the first of the ‘golden generation’ Dutch DJ’s who announces the end of his DJ career.
David Beckham Announces DJ Career
Former footballer and global superstar today announced plans to turn his DJing hobby into a full time career after posting his first DJ Chart mix onto Beatport.
The ex-Manchester United legend claimed that “living and growing up in Manchester you couldn’t help but be exposed to the spirit of the Hacienda and acid house” and that he’d always harboured a secret fantasy to be a DJ after his footballing career ended.
“I’m still quite a young man,” explained David. “I don’t see myself getting into management or punditry like some ex-pros, I like the spotlight a bit too much. I would be a pop star but unfortunately I can’t sing a note. Although that didn’t stop Posh,” he laughed.
Beckham’s first mix on Beatport showcased a fondness for tech-house and techno but David claims that “wasn’t too indicative of [his] sound” which he claims is “sexier, more deep house and garage. I’m a London boy innit.”
“Well I’ve always been a big fan of all kinds of music,” continued Beckham. “I fell in love with acid house when I first moved to Manchester as a young teenager and it’s been there for me in bad times, particularly after World Cup 98. ”
David insists that his family are 100% behind his decision saying “in spite of her time with The Spice Girls, Posh actually likes music so she’s totally behind me. Who knows we may even collaborate on a white label 12″ remix of Wannabe?”
“I think he’ll make a great DJ,” said friend and confidante Gary Neville. “He’s already got the slicked hair, sleeve tattoos and dress sense of a DJ.
David claimed that he has had offers from a host of big European clubs but will make his debut in his home city of London next month before a series of shows in Miami, where he is also building a football franchise.
“For the next few weeks I’ll train a bit harder on the decks to get myself fit in time for this summer season,” concluded Beckham. “But I’m really excited to open this new chapter in my career, this is the best club in the world and I’m looking forward to getting the fans out of their seats.”
