Moz Morris :: DJ : Remixer : Producer

About Me


Based in Blackpool, UK Moz Morris is a DJ, Remixer & Producer. I've been into music since I was about 3 years old. I graduated through being into pop and rock music until I got into dance music and started DJ'ing in the 1980's. I was the mainstay at the Flamingo in Blackpool and helped build the venue up to it becoming one of the premier gay clubs in the UK. I have gigged at various venues around the UK including Dot Cotton in Cambridge, The Syndicate in Blackpool, Confetti's in Leeds and various other venues in Manchester, Preston, Newcastle & Birmingham. I've also hosted and played the main stage at Manchester Pride too. My DJ Bookings are handled by Dance Crazy Management - please contact Kelly Isaacs for information for the UK or overseas bookings. I'm more suited to the big room style of playing, very uplifting hands in the air type sets that move a crowd. I love to play basically, the rapport between a DJ and his audience should always be two way. Unlike some people who are in it to stoke their ego I think entertaining while maybe bring some new music to a crowd is a good thing!
While DJ'ing still holds a major attraction for me I've become actively involved in the remixing and production side of things and have gradually built up a respectable home studio. I began working with primitive tools on the Commodore Amiga, taught myself to edit tape from watching an engineer in a studio. Originally I started coming up with my own unique versions of tracks to pepper my DJ set as I like to bring something different to the table when DJ'ing to make it more memorable. Over time I got into working in studios with engineers and as computers got more powerful I built up my own home studio to work on projects to release standards there. I work on commissioned remixes and I also do on spec work also so please feel free to contact me if you have anything you think I might be interested in. So far I've had remixes released in the UK & USA for Kelly Wilde & Abigail (now Abigail Zsiga ). I've worked on various projects that haven't seen a release yet forHazell Dean amongst others too. The Mach 12 track "Wonderful Life" was a studio project with a guest vocalist that I put together along with Col McKay. I also work with Daniel Edwards on mash ups and remixes under the name Dam Mad Tunes.

I'm always looking for other people to work or collaborate with. Due to Col being busy on other projects I'm currently looking for a new collaborator/programmer - please get in touch if you are close enough to Blackpool or in the North West UK and would like to have chat about it!
