Euphoria ( /juːˈfɔəriə/; from Ancient Greek εὖ, "well", and φέρειν. "to bear") (semantically opposite of dysphoria) is medically recognized as a mental and emotional condition in which a person experiences intense feelings of well-being, elation, happiness, ecstasy, excitement, and joy. Technically, euphoria is an affect, but the term is often colloquially used to define emotion as an intense state of transcendent happiness combined with an overwhelming sense of contentment. It has also been defined as an "affective state of exaggerated well-being or elation." The word derives from Greek εὐφορία, "power of enduring easily, fertility".
Euphoria is generally considered to be an exaggerated physical and psychological state, sometimes induced by the use of psychoactive drugs and not typically achieved during the normal course of human experience. However, some natural behaviors, such as activities resulting in orgasm, love, or the triumph of an athlete, can induce brief states of euphoria. Euphoria has also been cited during certain religious or spiritual rituals and meditation. Euphoria can also be the result of a psychological disorder. Such disorders include "bipolar disorder, cyclothymic personality, head injury, and hyperthyroidism". Euphoria may also occur with "diseases affecting the nervous system, such as syphilis and multiple sclerosis".
Dave Pearce is a British dance DJ and record producer, who has played gigs across the UK and the world, although he is perhaps best known for his work in radio. He formerly presented the long-running Dance Anthems show on BBC Radio 1, which was for most of its time aired on early Sunday evenings before moving to late Friday nights in its final year. His last show on BBC Radio 1 was broadcast on Friday 26 September 2008. He has brought several sayings into the world of dance including "putting on your trance trousers" when he plays a trance record, "roll another phat one" meaning to play another great record. He is also known for his cry of "Oi Oi!" from the DJ booth. Pearce has also broadcasted on BBC Radio 6 Music. He is currently a presenter on BBC Radio 2.
He began his broadcasting career in 1981 on pirate radio station Radio Jackie, in South London, while he was still at school. He later ran his own pirate station, DDP Radio in Claygate, Surrey, together with Paul Kent (Eugene Perera), who later went on to operate a licensed station in Brighton, and Steve Collins (Stephen Benzikie) the Daily Mail journalist-turned-PR adviser. DDP was closed down prior to his joining BBC Radio London. He then worked behind the scenes at BBC Radio London, where he later took on a late Monday night show - 'A Fresh Start to the Week' - playing new club tunes. He was then one of the original presenters on BBC GLR in 1988, presenting their weekday evening show, which focused on dance, acid-house & rap. In 1990, Pearce joined London's Kiss 100, and presented the drivetime show with Gordon Mac before taking over the breakfast show from Craig Charles.
