Description
In the history of dance music, Morales’ name is on Page 1, Chapter 1. The Brooklyn-bred deejay remains one of the world’s most respected and influential deejays, producers and remixers; one of only a handful that can rightly claim to be there from the beginning and still rock it just as hard at any club today. DJ Times doesn’t call just anybody “one of New York’s greatest house DJs”.
A deejay since the age of 14, Morales was a fixture at such seminal spots at The Loft and Paradise Garage. Morales spent his days producing future house classics and remixing everyone from Madonna to Aretha Franklin to U2. One of music’s most prolific remixers—his catalog numbers in the hundreds--Morales earned worldwide success with a string of hits with Mariah Carey, picking up a Grammy in 1998 Remixer of the Year along the way.
Morales quickly became one of dance music’s first Superstar DJs, spinning in front of thousands at legendary places like Pacha in Ibiza and Ministry of Sound in London. Classics such as “Finally” CeCe Peniston,” “Needin’ U” Morales and “Dreamlover” Mariah Carey all bore Morales’ production stamp. And as the 1980s and ‘90s gave way to the new millennium, Morales remains in demand as ever, performing still-talked about all-night sets at Montreal’s Stereo and elsewhere. He is one of the ‘Three Kings of House’ music alongside Louie Vega and Tony Humphries.
