“Dark Beat” is the new Club Bad Records release from Venezuelan DJ & producer Dave Ruthwell and Colombian artist SGX, an Afro-House version based on the 2002 original track by Oscar G & Ralph Falcon.
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Dave Ruthwell has established himself as an international DJ and producer within the Afro House, Latin House, and high-energy House scene. From the very beginning, he has blended Latin percussion, African grooves, and modern club energy — a fusion that has earned him support from major names like Hugel, Tiesto, David Guetta, Nicky Romero, Martin Garrix, Swedish House Mafia and other leading figures in the industry.
A major milestone in his career came when he was selected as an official remixer for “Finally” by Swedish House Mafia & Alicia Keys, marking his arrival among the most respected producers in the global scene. His music has been released on renowned labels such as Make The Girls Dance, Spinnin’ Records, and more, while his name was featured in the Top 101 Producers of 1001Tracklists.com, proving his growing impact within the DJ community.
This year has been one of his strongest yet: his remixes of classics like Pump Up The Jam, Milkshake, Nuevayol, and DMTF have become favorites among DJs and charted high on platforms like Hypeddit, reaching #1 positions and gaining international traction. His catalog combines underground club power with refined aesthetics and global appeal. Now leading his own imprint, El Código Records, Dave Ruthwell is focused on pushing his unique sound and supporting emerging talents. His vision is clear — to build a bridge between Latin-Afro rhythms and the global electronic music scene, with elegance, authenticity, and undeniable energy.
SGX is a Colombian DJ and music producer with over 15 years of experience in the electronic music industry. Known for his explosive performances and refined sound, SGX has been part of major tours across Latin America, performing in countries such as Chile, Peru, and Panama, as well as holding residencies at some of Colombia’s top clubs and festivals.
Throughout his career, SGX has shared stages with global superstars including David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, performing at renowned festivals like Wonderland, Mysteryland, Viva Fest, and Storyland.
As a producer, SGX has achieved multiple Top 10 and Top 100 positions on Beatport, earned two #1 global rankings on Hypeddit, and released music on prestigious labels such as Universal Music, Armada Music, Revealed Recordings, Make The Girls Dance, and Nervous Records. His official remix for Armin van Buuren further solidified his position within the global dance scene.
Now based between Miami and Latin America, SGX continues to expand his international presence, performing at some of the most iconic venues in the United States and collaborating with top-tier artists and producers.
He is also the co-founder of El Código Records, alongside Dave Ruthwell — a label dedicated to pushing innovative sounds across the melodic, house, and progressive spectrums.
Driven by passion, precision, and a deep connection to rhythm, SGX represents the evolution of Latin electronic music on a global scale.
