Dive in with Dj Dove

Born in New York City and raised in Hoboken, New Jersey by Cuban parents, Barbarito Capote aka DJ Dove had devoted most of his career fine-tuning the sultry sounds heard throughout his eleven years as a producer. Over a career spanning multiple decades Dove has performed alongside such luminaries as DJ Disciple, Roger Sanchez, Bob Sinclar, Todd Terry, Robbie Rivera and has collaborated in the studio with many more.

DJ Dove’s most notable productions have included Inaya Day’s “I’m Touched and Unkind” with Milk ā€˜N’ Sugar, as well as “Nobody But You” featuring Ladylife, with a sound that rooted in classic house and US garage. More recently Dove has moved into tech house territory, releasing on labels like Circus and Wyldcard, and now lands on Unlearn with the two-track “Your Lovin My Lovin” / “Booty”.

DJ Dove blends classic house and US garage with upfront tech house on the latest EP of his storied career. 6AM gets in depth with DJ Dove on his career, EP, and studio methods.
