Miami Music Week reaches peak groove.
PAWSA takes over
LIV Nightclub Miami on Thursday, March 26, 2026 for an unforgettable night of stripped-back, dancefloor-driven tech house inside the legendary
Fontainebleau Miami Beach. One of the most influential figures in the global underground scene, PAWSA brings his signature precision, rolling percussion, and carefully curated sets to Miami's most iconic nightclub during the week that matters most.
With chart-topping releases, a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, and accolades including Beatport Producer of the Year, this is tech house at its finest—inventive, hypnotic, and built strictly for the dancefloor.
About PAWSA
David Esekhile, known professionally as
PAWSA, is a British DJ, producer, and label owner born on March 31, 1992 in London, England. Specializing in tech house, PAWSA has earned a reputation for his distinctive, groove-led sound—stripped-back, impactful, and built with the dancefloor in mind. His music draws on influences from classic house and hip-hop, shaped through a modern minimal-leaning lens with driving grooves, clever sampling, and understated hooks. His sound has been described as
"inventive tech house with an old school vibe."
PAWSA officially launched his career in 2014 with the release of his debut EP
Pilot through the renowned Lost Records. His productions quickly caught the attention of industry heavyweights including
Damian Lazarus,
Jackmaster,
Green Velvet,
Nicole Moudaber,
Adam Beyer, and
Pan-Pot. He released EPs on Green Velvet's
Relief Records and Moudaber's
Mood Records, cementing his reputation as a producer destined for lasting impact.
In 2015, PAWSA co-founded
Solid Grooves Records alongside fellow tech house pioneer
Michael Bibi. What began as a club night in London warehouses quickly evolved into one of the UK's leading underground imprints and event series, with regular happenings in London, Ibiza, and Berlin. In 2017, PAWSA launched his own imprint,
PAWZ, as a more personal creative outlet for tracks outside the Solid Grooves sound. Solid Grooves celebrated its
100th release in 2025 with the
Summer Sampler 2025 compilation, featuring PAWSA's track "Rendezvous," and held a summer-long residency at
DC-10 Ibiza.
PAWSA's catalog of club-ready anthems includes fan favorites like
"Party," "The Groovy Cat," "All Eyez," "Dog Days," and
"Collect the Commas" (via CircoLoco Records). In late 2024, his rework of The Adventures of Stevie V's 1989 classic
"Dirty Cash (Money Talks)" peaked at
#3 on the UK Dance chart and amassed over
56 million Spotify streams—far surpassing any of his previous releases. His 2025 single
"DOUBLE C" was featured on the official soundtrack of
F1 the Movie. He also delivered a landmark
BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in October 2024, showcasing two hours of his own productions alongside tracks from legends like Eddie Richards and Dauwd.
PAWSA's accolades reflect his standing at the top of the scene. He won
"Best Producer" at the
DJ Mag Best of Britain Awards in both 2021 and 2024, was named
Beatport Producer of the Year in 2024, and is recognized as one of
Beatport's Top 10 Best-Selling House Artists of All Time. Solid Grooves was awarded
"Best Label" at DJ Mag's Best of British Awards in 2023. Mixmag ranked him
#19 among producers who defined 2024, praising his influence in pushing deep house and dancefloor classics.
In addition to his solo work, PAWSA is one half of
GOLFOS, a collaborative project with Spanish DJ and producer
Dennis Cruz. The duo has delivered standout performances including a celebrated b2b set at
Kappa Futur Festival in Turin. In 2025, PAWSA headlined his biggest UK show to date—
PAWSA In The Park – All Day Long—at London's Gunnersbury Park. He continues to tour globally, with recent performances at
EDC Mexico,
ARC Music Festival Chicago,
Music On Ibiza,
Circoloco Amsterdam, and alongside
The Martinez Brothers and
Marco Carola.
