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.

Toca's Miracle
Dave Pearce Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you're gonna save the day
And you're hearin' what I say
I feel your touch
Your kiss, it's not enough
And if you believe in me
Don't think my love's not for real
I won't take nothin' less then a deeper love

Let me tell you
You, no I,
I need a miracle
I need a miracle
Its more physical than
What I need to feel from you

Let me tell you
You, no I,
I need a miracle
I need a miracle
Its more physical than
What I need to feel from you

Tell me that you understand
And you'll take me as I am
You'll always be the one to give me everything
Just when I thought no one cared
You're the answer to my prayer
You lift my spirits high
Come on and rescue me

Let me tell you
You, no I,
I need a miracle
I need a miracle
Its more physical than

What I need to feel from you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dave Pearce's "Toca's Miracle" describe a person in need of a miracle, which is interpreted as a deeper love that is more physical than what they are currently receiving. The person is calling out to someone they believe can save the day and is pleading with them to understand and accept them for who they are. The person acknowledges that the love they seek is more physical than what they have experienced in the past, and they need someone to lift their spirits high and rescue them.

The song's lyrics suggest a plea for intimacy that goes beyond what the person has felt before. They are looking for someone to share a deep connection with, someone who can physically demonstrate their love and lift them from their current state of despair. The song also touches on the idea of being saved or rescued, both emotionally and physically, by the person they are addressing in the lyrics.

If you're gonna save the day
If you plan to be a hero

And you're hearin' what I say
And you're listening to me
