Testimonials

I worked with David for over five years, from Masti to bringing him to both our LSL Capital restaurants, Mimi Mei Fair and Jamavar. I never saw David as an external contractor. He was a partner and a core part of the team, always there, always involved, genuinely invested in the music management and audio across all our venues and always putting in extra effort to help grow the business. I trusted him completely to take care of everything music related and never had to worry when he was there.

Daniel MirandaGroup General Manager, LSL Capital (Mimi Mei Fair & Jamavar) / Masti

David worked with us for several years across multiple venues covering private events, brunches and dinner services, and was one of the best DJs we've had. Great music, smooth flow, and he always knew how to read the room and keep the energy suitable for our guests. Reliable, always available, and happy to help with anything sound related our venues required.

Charbel MhannaCEO, Blackspoon Management

Dave '13uxz' Buckley is an exceptionally talented DJ and producer I've had the pleasure of collaborating with. He's one of the most driven and hardworking artists I've come across, with a constant hunger to learn, connect, and create. He's already delivered one of our standout releases of 2025 on my label, with more strong material on the way. Beyond music, Dave is a person of great character, thoughtful, insightful, and deeply dedicated to his craft. He has all the makings of an artist with limitless potential and a wonderful future ahead.

Aritra 'ARIII' DasguptaLabel Founder, Dyno Music Records

13UXZ has been a huge part of the journey at Sounds by AKS. From early on, he played a big role in shaping the energy and identity of the brand. His creative style, fresh selection of music, and especially his own productions really stood out and connected strongly with our audience. He brought a unique sound to the floor and consistently delivered sets that people remembered. Artists like him are a big reason Sounds by AKS has grown into what it is today.

Karanveer SinghDJ KV5 - AKS and Laya Events

I've worked with many artists and DJs over the years, but DJ David stands out. He has a deep understanding of atmosphere and knows exactly what vibe to create, backed by an immense knowledge of music. He reads the motion and flow of any event or restaurant setting and plays accordingly, consistently earning appreciation from guests and colleagues alike.

Bhim GaurRestaurant Manager, Jamavar Dubai

DJ David brings the perfect combination of professional communication, an ability to read the room, and was always comfortable with different audiences. Respected by everyone at Masti, guests always commented on his performances and we were sad to see him leave.

Joseph AdegokeManager, Masti Dubai

DJ David is one of the most refined and sophisticated DJs I've worked with. His music selection, timing, and ability to read the room were perfectly aligned with our restaurant's mood, delivering both elegance and energy at the highest level.

Jeet VermaBar Manager, LSL Capital

Dave attended my music production course, where he showed strong technical ability and a clear focus on sound design. He has a great ear for detail and a solid creative instinct. He's also played at my techno events, delivering well structured sets that connect with the crowd and build energy properly. Reliable, easy to work with, and committed to his craft. I'd happily recommend him for bookings.

KevisenDJ, Cattaree

An incredibly versatile DJ with the ability to deliver open format, house classics, and upfront sets.

Jon BesantPartner, Mais Musica

Sharing the stage with 13uxz was a great experience. As a percussionist, I really value his musical sensitivity and his ability to connect with the audience in real time. The dynamic between DJ and percussionist is really important and flowed naturally, making every performance feel authentic and full of energy.

Osmany Ramirez VaronaPercussionist, Miti Percussion

I've had the chance to share the same space at Mimi Mei Fair with David, and even without fully overlapping, his presence and musical awareness were always noticeable. He really knows how to read a room and create the right energy. Definitely someone who adds value wherever he plays.

DJ Miss RichDJ

Dave's one of those DJs you can tell actually lives the music he plays. We've worked together in the studio on edits and originals, and that production knowledge really comes through in his sets. Playing alongside him you notice he's always a few steps ahead, and it never feels forced. Solid guy to work with behind the decks or in the studio.
