Switch is a renowned British DJ, producer, and songwriter, born Dave Taylor in the United Kingdom. Emerging from the vibrant UK dance music scene in the early 2000s, Switch quickly gained attention for his innovative approach to house and electro music, blending funky, off-kilter rhythms with sharp, inventive production techniques.
