Tenacious’s journey began in 1998 when Dave, along with his younger brother Steve and close friend Lewis, set up a recording studio and started making music. Initially exploring Trance, they achieved some success under the name ‘Aptness’. Their track ‘The Answer’, signed by Graham Gold to his Good as label, became one of Judge Jules’s favorite tracks of 1998 on Radio 1 and Graham Gold’s ‘Kicking Cut’ on Kiss 100FM. ‘The Answer’ was featured on various mix albums, including Ministry’s ‘Clubbers Guide to 99’ and Trance Nation 2, as well as a Playstation Fifa Football game. They also did remixes, including DJ Tiesto’s ‘Theme from Norefjell’ on Blackhole Records.
In 2013, Tenacious decided to shift their focus as the dance music scene evolved and Trance became more commercial. They embraced a new direction, specializing in Underground House Music and energetic Bass Driven Tech House. Since then, Tenacious has released music on esteemed independent dance labels such as PP Music, Hotfingers, Jeepers, Subteranneo, Influential House, Onefold DGTL, Summerized Sessions, Whorehouse Records, and more. Their recent releases can be found on Ultra Music, Revoke, Traded Music, Stash Records, Automation Nation, Phonetic Recordings, Freakin909, Cheeky Trax, New State Music, Criminal Hype, Kidology, Kukushka, and others.
