Polish-born and Yorkshire-bred, Simon Morell is both hard-working and tight.
He is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about DJs on this page and I once saw him dissect a mouse with only his teeth and a white label of John
Lennon's "working class hero".
Through his residency at DDD, which he co-promotes, Simon has played alongside some of the longest names in the business and it is a testament to both his modesty and his self-belief that though there was usually very little room left for his own billing he neither cried nor asked any of them to shorten their names. Simon's forte is in being able to perfectly judge the pitch of a night then bend it to his own will taking it to profoundly unexpected and uplifting places and it is this unerring ability which has seen him secure the patronage of the likes of Ralph Lawson, Loco Dice, Alex Under and Andrew Weatherall.
With Simon at the helm as both resident DJ and co-promoter, DDD is fast becoming one of the most credible and innovative breakthrough nights in the
UK and it is a measure of its success that this year sees the night go bi-monthly as DDD spreads its love and its wings to a series of as yet undisclosed underground venues.
Away from his beloved decks Simon is a gibbering wreck and therefore hast of times to be sent out on location to play some of the best venues round the country (lest he eats his own slippers). To this end 2005 saw him man the decks at Asylum, Leeds, the Mulletover warehouse parties in London as well as the much vaunted We Love Sundays, Ibiza whilst back in the capital Simon enjoyed stints at Ministry and The End. This year promises to be a massive one with bookings already confirmed at Circo Loco and Ministry as well as the imminent ubiquity of DDD marking Simon Morell out as one of the most coveted acts on the club scene.
