Biography

David Herrera AKA Dark Saw is a producer from Cuenca, Ecuador. Since he started playing various instruments at a very young age, music has always played a significant role in his life. At 16 he began attending raves where he met the Minus crew (Magda, Marc Houle, Troy Pierce, Gaiser, Richie Hawtin) and that would mark his taste for Minimal Techno.

At the age of 18, he left his country of origin and went to study music production in Buenos Aires, Argentina at the Sonica school. After attending several Minimal Techno parties in Argentina, he gets inspired and, upon his return to his country, establishes “David Herrera”, a Deep House and Techno-focused musical project.
