djqwest Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 Largely credited as one of the founding fathers of modern DJ culture, pioneering mix-master David Morales emerged on the scene as a dominant force in the 1980s, continuing on to a legendary residency at the revered club of yesteryear Red Zone. His 1993 reworking of Mariah Carey's seminal smash "Dream Lover" became an instant classic, lauded to this day by disc jocks around the world as one of the greatest dance tracks of all time. With a 1998 Grammy Award for Remixer of the Year under his belt, Morales chose to focus on the international scene following Red Zone's closure in the early '90s, and it wasn't long before he secured a string of DJ residencies at some of the world's most celebrated nightclubs. His intercontinental celebrity came with a price, however: In recent years, Morales' profile in the New York scene has become more subdued, and his relentless touring schedule restricted the amount of time he could devote to the studio. Morales hasn't created an original production in four years, and 11 years have passed since his last artist album. But all of that is about to change with the release of 2 Worlds Collide. Morales' first full-length artist disc since 1993's The Program, the album has been riding a wave of buzz-heavy anticipation for the past year thanks to the sublime single "How Would U Feel." Without exaggeration, the track has been a favorite of most every DJ in the world, and has seduced dance floors around the globe with its haunting production and the sultry vocals of Morales discovery Lea Lorin. In a rare interview, Morales sits down with The Revolution to discuss the evolution of his career, his extended hiatus from the studio, and his journey in creating 2 Worlds Collide-an album that could possibly represent the masterwork of his 20-year career. Log on. Tune in. Listen up. On Wednesday, October 27th at 8pm David Morales joins THE REVOLUTION.
