Dayton started going clubbing to hardhouse in 2000 at Storm, Coalville. he soon became a dedicated raver going to every hardhouse event he could. In 2002 he met a few people that he was soon friends with who introduced him to hardstyle and they started a night called Religion where the main genre was Hardstyle. It was here where he grew to love hardstyle more and more.

In 2004 as the hardstyle scene grew at the emporium in coalvile, Religion's 2nd birthday
came around where they booked Mark E.G, this is who inspired him to get his first set of decks. Once he got his decks, learning in his bedroom was really hard as he did'nt have a clue how to do it. So he took courses in DJing through Confetti Studios in nottingham where they taught him how to basic beat match. From there on it was hours and hours of mixing.

Once confident to play in front of his friends at parties which was every other weekend, friends persuaded him to take his vinyl to an illegal rave him and friends were going to which he got to play at 6 o'clock in the morning, back to back with a mate called DJ Spook. Since then he has played at pubs and small clubs which has made his confidence grow. You can visit DJ D8's site at this link www.djd8.moonfruit.com
