I have an eclectic catalogue of styles and productions. My work includes a top 40 single, three solo albums, TV and cinema commercials, documentaries and a symphony.
New York label Minimal Wave have recently re-released my 80s single 'You Don't Know My Name' on the vinyl compilation The Hidden Tapes and on CD in the UK.
Some of my most recent work is with Brighton based electro-swing band Swingoddity.
I hope you enjoy your visit to my site, and leave me some feedback before you go.
Cheers,
DW

Jack Lead is producers David Watts and Gary Dunbar. With help and encouragement from friends and musicians we created our debut album Jack Lead plug-in. We had good times making this album, and singer Lewis Targar contributed some top vocals to our cool funky house grooves.
Jack Lead plug-in is currently available from iTunes

Swingoddity is an electro-swing force to be reckoned with. They record all their own samples and much of the playing is live. I am totally honoured to be producing this incredibly talented outfit, and loving every minute of it!

Celestial Journey is one of three relaxation albums, developed in collaboration with Aromatherapist Jo Kellett. It contains 70 minutes of continuous music and is suitable for all relaxation therapies. I have used gentle rhythms and subtle changes of texture to enhance relaxation and induce a sense of inner peace. I hope you enjoy the atmosphere it creates.
You can buy this album from my on-line shop. Also available in the series Seascape and Forest Song.
The Hidden Tapes album was released in 2011 by New York based label Minimal Wave. The label was launched in 2005 to create a network for synth wave enthusiasts and promote 80s electronic music via an online archive, vinyl and CD releases.
I am thrilled that the Kym Amps recording 'You Don't Know My Name' is a part of this amazing collection of 80s recordings.
The Hidden Tapes is available on iTunes.
