He currently works for the BBC 6 Music. He formerly presented the long-running Dance Anthems show on BBC Radio 1, which was for most of its time aired on early Sunday evenings before moving to late Friday nights in its final year. His last show on BBC Radio 1 was broadcast on Friday 26 September 2008. He has brought several sayings into the world of dance including "putting on your trance trousers" when he plays a trance record, "roll another fat one" meaning to play another great record. He is also known for his cry of "Oi Oi!" from the DJ booth. Pearce now broadcasts Dance Anthems on BBC 6 Music.

Pearce joined BBC Radio 1 in April 1995, taking over the weekday early-breakfast show from Bruno Brookes. He took over the weekend mid-morning slot in October the same year. February 1997 saw Pearce taking over weekend breakfast and on October 13 the same year, he went on to present the drivetime show from Kevin Greening, who had taken over Breakfast, alongside Zoe Ball. In addition to drivetime, Pearce took over the Dance Anthems show on Sunday evenings. In October 1998 Chris Moyles took over the drivetime show and Pearce began presenting a Monday - Thursday evening show from 6-8pm entitled The Late Drive. This show was axed in 2004.

Dave Celebrated 10 years of dance anthems in August 2007. The 5 hour special Dance Anthems show included input from Pete Tong, Judge Jules and a phone in from Tiesto.

His first show on 6 Music was broadcast on Sunday 5 October 2008 from 8pm to 10pm, playing dance music from the last 30 years. Noel Gallagher was the first celebrity guest to pick his favourite dance anthem, which was "Strings of Life" by Rhythim is Rhythim. Pearce has also presented occasional shows on BBC Radio 2.

In late 2008 Dave Pearce launched a weekly podcast - Trancecast - which focuses on his interest in trance. It features upfront tracks as well as a weekly guest mix.

You've got me dancin' and cryin'
Rollin' and flying
Love don't let me go
You've got me drownin' in a river
Cold but in fever
Love don't let me go
Don't let me go
You got me dancin'

You've got me dancin' and cryin'
Rollin' and flying
Love don't let me go
You've got me drownin' in a river
Cold but in fever
Love don't let me go

You've got me dancin' and cryin'
Rollin' and flying
Love don't let me go
You've got me drownin' in a river
Cold but in fever
Love don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Love don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Got me drowning in a river
I was cold really in fever, he, he

He, he, he
Dancing and crying

Cold but in fever
Love don't let me go

Don't let me go

Dancing and crying
Don't let me go!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dave Pearce's song "Love Don't Let Me Go" describe a feeling of being overcome by love and the fear of losing it. The repetition of the phrase "Love don't let me go" is a plea to the singer's romantic partner to not let their love slip away. The image of dancing and crying, rolling and flying, and drowning in a river while being both cold and feverish suggest a sense of emotional tumult and confusion. The singer's emotions are intense, and they seem to feel a sense of vulnerability in their love. They want their partner to recognize the depth of their feelings and ensure that their love remains strong.

The chorus's repetition of the phrase "Don't let me go" creates a sense of urgency and desperation. The singer is so consumed by their love that losing it would be devastating. In contrast, the playful "he, he, he" interspersed throughout the song suggests a sense of lightheartedness or perhaps a charming quirkiness in the singer's personality. Overall, the lyrics to "Love Don't Let Me Go" convey a passionate and emotionally charged state of being, in which love is both exhilarating and potentially dangerous.
