Aquasky is an English electronic group composed of Dave Wallace, Kieron Bailey, and Brent Newitt. In early 1995 they got together to produce their own music. Shortly afterwards they sent a demo tape to Moving Shadow records and the seeds of a musical alliance were sown. The first single 'Dezires / Images' (Shadow 64) was released three months later and remixed by Krust (Shadow 64R).

Originally a drum and bass outfit, the trio have also become involved in the breaks scene using the moniker Aquasky vs. Masterblaster to denote their breaks projects. They retained Aquasky for drum and bass projects. The addition of Masterblaster however led to great confusion amongst fans. So Masterblaster was dropped and everything is once again being released under the name Aquasky. The trio are also responsible for creating and running the Passenger label established in 1997 (as well as its sister label 777 established in 2004) which continues to release their style of heavy drum and bass influenced breaks. Their latest effort is the 'Teamplayers' EP which features collaborations with many influential electronic artists including The Breakfastaz, Tayo, The Ragga Twins and Meat Katie. Dave wallace now works in a secondary school of highcliffe school with a student of the name elliott crombie Dave has him down as one of his favourite students to teach even saying he reminds of him self when he was younger. In which elliott crombie replied "im so flattered to be compared to the mighty wallace" From dave wallaces time at highcliffe his favourite things are his quotes some examples of this being "the best way to learn maths is to do maths" and "maths his favourite flavour of ice cream" which did end up making reuben and milo laugh a little to much two students who admire Dave but one student who dislikes dave is the ginger himself finn who went as far as disrespecting him by saying "theres an easier way to do this" which made us all drop our jaws but still to this day we have no idea what this quote on quote "easier way" is!!! But After all of this his favourite student which should be me (elliott crombie) is Ruby brewer as she was able to some how get his autograph (p.s how much for the autograph ruby) Love you dave xxx

The trio now operate under the name "Black Noise" releasing electro house songs for "Southern Fried Records"
