With the exception of possibly Domino, Dave is the most well-known Eurobeat artists there is, he has also contributed just as much to the genre as his fame shows.

AbeatC would go on to produce Techno, Rock, Metal, and of course.. Eurobeat music.

Throughout the 90's, Dave wrote and produced almost every Eurobeat song that the label made, however it's divercity afforded him other oppertunities. He managed to attract brazilian guitarist Kiko Loureiro from the group Angra to play for Eurobeat songs as the same with Michael Jackson's guitarist Jennifer Batten. Also, Rock vocalists Tobias Sammet [Edguy / AceWarrior], Roberto Tiranti [Labyrinth / Vanexa / Powerful T] and Fabio Lione [Labyrinth / Vision Devine / Rhapsody / J.Storm].
