PAWSA

PAWSA is the stage name of London DJ and producer David Esekhile, a central figure in contemporary tech house. His productions are often stripped back and dancefloor-focused, built around driving grooves, sparse melodic material and vocal samples. He began releasing music in the mid-2010s, with the Pilot EP arriving in 2014 on Lost Records and early tracks drawing support from established selectors.

In 2015, PAWSA co-founded Solid Grooves Records with Michael Bibi, and he later launched his own PAWZ imprint. Both labels became vehicles for his productions and wider club culture. His profile grew through tracks such as Party and The Groovy Cat, alongside regular appearances at clubs in Berlin and Ibiza. DJ Mag has characterized his sound as minimal, micro tech house.
