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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where's your head at

Where's your head at (Where your head at)
Where's your head at (Where your head at)
Drozze it

Okay are you ready, I'm ready

Don't let the walls cave in on you
We can live on, live on without you
Don't let the walls cave in on you
We can live on, live on without you
Don't let the walls cave in on you
You get what you give that much is true
Don't let the walls cave in on you
You turn the world away from you

Where's your head at (Where your head at)
Where's your head at (Where your head at)
Wasn't that?Okay are you ready, I'm ready
You have now found yourself trapped in the incomprehensible maze
Where's your head at, you'll know how to be
Where's your head at, you don't make it easy on yourself
Where's your head at, what you give is what you get, is what you get
Where's your head at (Where's your head at)
Where's your head at (Where's your head at (Okay are you ready, I'm ready)

Don't let the walls cave in on you
We can live on, live on without you
Don't let the walls cave in on you
We can live on, live on without you
Don't let the walls cave in on you
We can live on, live on without you
Don't let the walls cave in on you
We can live on, live on without you

Where's your head at, Where's your head at
We can live on, live on without you
We can live on, live on without you

We can live on, live on without you
We can live on, live on without you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dave Pearce's song "Where's Your Head At" speak to the concept of being trapped in an incomprehensible maze or feeling lost in life. The repetition of the question, "Where's your head at?" throughout the song emphasizes the importance of having clarity and focus in one's life. The line, "Don't let the walls cave in on you," serves as a warning against self-destructive behavior and urges the listener to avoid becoming "trapped" by negative thoughts or emotions.

The song suggests that by maintaining a clear head and avoiding negative impulses, one can "live on" and move forward in life. The lyrics also emphasize the idea of cause and effect, suggesting that we "get what we give." This means that if we put in the effort and maintain a positive outlook, we will be rewarded with positive outcomes. Conversely, if we allow negative thoughts and behaviors to consume us, we will likely experience negative consequences.

Overall, the song encourages listeners to take ownership of their thoughts and actions, and to work towards maintaining a positive mindset in order to achieve their goals and find happiness.
