	Musicians - Dave Rodgers

Dave Rodgers (Real name Giancarlo Pasquini) is a songwriter, composer, and producer. He started production with the band Aleph. Since then, he has collaborated with artists from around the world and has produced several multi-platinum albums. Rodgers has been honored by the Japanese music industry for selling more than one million albums. Giancarlo is the owner of Rodgers Studio and A-Beat C Productions. Considered by many to be the "Godfather of Eurobeat", he has written and produced songs for J-Pop artists such as Namie Amuro, V6 and MAX, which proved to help introduce some of the Japanese music fans to the style of eurobeat. The real gauge of success for Eurobeat however seemed to be how big the song was as a Parapara hit. To this respect, many songs that Dave Rodgers has produced have become massive hits such as Space Boy by Dave Rodgers himself, I Wanna Dance by Domino, Baby Get My Fire Tonite by Nuage, Go Go Money by Neo Original Sin by Powerful T. and I Believe In You by Dave and Domino Because of the history Rodgers has with Avex Trax (producers of the long running Super Eurobeat series), A-Beat C Productions has generally been the label with the most songs on the SEB (shortened version of Super Eurobeat) album (save for SEB Volume 153 where Stefano Castagna Productions (SCP) took the lead with the most amount of songs on the album).

Dave's most recent song (as of September 30 2005) is Space Invader, a semi-homage to Space Boy and The Final Countdown (both songs sung by Dave) and has been played in the Parapara clubs. Since then Dave has released another song, Eldorado, following in the traditional old school style of A-Beat C not seen in years.
