Simon Neale (born 20 January 1977 in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England), known by his stage names Shadow Child and Dave Spoon, is an English radio DJ and dance music producer.
Simon Neale grew up listening to a mixture of synth-pop and early '90s house and rave, and attended a secondary school that had an undiscovered TB-303 and Juno 60 in the music room cupboard.
With an added vocal in 2007 from Lisa Maffia, the track crossed over as "Bad Girl (At Night)" on Universal, earning Spoon his first top 40 hit, with the second coming in 2008 in the form of "Baditude" with collaborators Sam Obernik & Paul Harris from Dirty Vegas.
He has launched his own label "Televizion", where he released the Pete Tong collaboration "Gas Face", which was used as title music for the Hammer Horror film Beyond the Rave.
"Friday" featuring Takura managed to enter the UK Singles Chart at number 193 after support from the likes of MistaJam on BBC Radio 1Xtra.
