1) a Spanish alternative-pop-rock band which was founded in [year formed]1992[/year formed]. The Band currently consists of the sisters Christina Llanos (guitar/vocals) and Amparo Llanos (guitar), Jesús Antúnez (drums), and Samuel Titos (bass) who recently replaced former bassist Álvaro Díez. Their music ranges from heavy to sweet, shouting to dreaming, but always with a groovy drive.
Dover originated in the outskirts of Madrid at the beginning of the 1990s when the Llanos sisters decided to form a rock band encouraged by the alternative scene from Seattle. In 1994, the drummer Jesús Antúnez and the bass guitarist Álvaro Gómez joined in. One of the band's demo tapes reached the radio program Disco Grande on RNE Radio 3. The band then entered into a one-year contract with the small independent record label Everlasting-Caroline. Their debut album Sister in 1995 lacked promotion and sold poorly; however, the Spanish fanzine Mondo Sonoro included it among the 10 best national albums of the year.
After their initial contract expired, they signed with the independent label Subterfuge Records, which produced their second album Devil Came To Me. This album turned out to be an unprecedented success in the Spanish independent scene. A fragment from the title song was included in a popular Radical Fruit Company television commercial and the band got launched to national fame. While promoting this album, the bass guitarist was replaced by Álvaro Díez, who had already been part of the band at its beginning. The album sold over 500,000 copies and gained them fans also abroad in Europe and the Americas.
Their relationship with Subterfuge Records deteriorated and they signed with Chrysalis Records. In 1998, the band created their own label Loli Jackson Records. The next year they recorded their third album Late At Night in Seattle.
In 2000, they received the MTV Europe Best Spanish Artist award. In 2001, Chrysalis re-released their first album Sister including a bonus unreleased song Noche tras noche. In September that year, after tense recording sessions in Los Angeles marked by disagreements with their album producer Barret Jones, the band released their fourth album I Was Dead For 7 Weeks In The City Of Angels.
In 2003, they released The Flame, recorded in Spain and produced by Rick Will, an album that shows all the fury that has made them big without forgetting those great songs of melody and quality. Stephen Marcussen (Marcussen Mastering, NYC) did the mastering, a classic that has mastered a lot of the legendary records of the last 15 years.
In 2006, Dover released Follow the City Lights. It was recorded at PKO Studios and self-produced along with Daniel Alcover. The album was preceded by the single Let Me Out, and broke away from their usual sound to create a more dance-like style.
The band's 2007 release 2 is a greatest hits compilation, which exhibits the rock sound that brought them to stardom, as well as the band's new electronic sound.
The first single from 2 is entitled "Soldier."
2) An artist associated with the doujin circle Tokyo Audio Waffle, or en;dolphinrecords. He is a producer of a wide range of genres, from house to hip-hop, to chiptune, and to deep house.

Dover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been with someone else, I've been with someone we both need
DJ, don't you dare to leave
I tried to figure out what others, what others did, oh no
DJ, am I pure and clean?
I tried to do my best, I tried to be the girl of your dreams
DJ don't you fuck with me
Slow down, oh baby, it will take years
It's not what it seemed to be
Slow down, oh baby, it will take years
Pray hard to get to be here
DJ, don't do this to me
I tried to do my best, I tried not to sing out of key
DJ don't you dare to leave
I tried to be the one and now I'm, I'm on my knees, oh no
Slow down, oh baby, it will take years
It's not what it seemed to be
Slow down, oh baby, it will take years
Pray hard to get to be here
Slow down, oh baby, it will take years
It's not what it seemed to be
Slow down, oh baby, it will take years
Pray hard to get to be here
The song "DJ" by Dover is an emotional plea to a DJ to stay with the singer. The singer acknowledges that they have been with someone else, someone they both need, but begs the DJ not to leave them. They question their own purity and cleanliness, wondering if they have been good enough to be the "girl of your dreams". The singer insists that they have tried their best and begs the DJ not to mess with them.
The chorus repeats the phrase "slow down" as if to ask the DJ to take a moment and reconsider leaving. The singer acknowledges that it will take years to get to where they want to be and that it's not what it seemed to be, but they ask the DJ to pray hard to be with them. Overall, the song is a desperate plea for love and affection from someone who holds a lot of power and influence over the singer's life.

He aquí el claro ejemplo de que con bajo, bateria, una stratocaster y otra telecaster con un Marshall se consigue un sonido brutal y demoledor. Sin pedales ni multiefectos, sin complicarse la vida. Producción de 10.

pocas producciones conoces tú, y eso que me encanta Dover, mirate el oido.

No manchen, no conocía tan bien al grupo y me decepcionó bastante ver unos videos donde cantan POP o no se que rayos, que no eran ROCKEROS jaja, mi canción favorita desde hace 13 o 14 años ha sido CHERRY LEE, significa mucho para mi esa rola, lo máximo, no me harto de tocarla en guitarra. Pero que rayos les pasó al final? jaja
