David Morales
David Morales (/məˈræləs/; born August 21, 1961) is an American disc jockey, record producer and remixer.
David Morales has remixed and produced over 500 releases for artists including Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Spice Girls, Eric Clapton, Seal, Pet Shop Boys, U2, Donna Summer, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Madonna, Selena, and Jamiroquai. Morales was nominated for his first Grammy Award in 1996 as a Producer on Mariah Carey's album Daydream for the song “Daydream Interlude (Fantasy Sweet Dub Mix)”. He was nominated again the next year and won the 1998 Grammy Award for “Remixer of the Year”.
Morales is considered to be one of the first so-called superstar DJs. He has performed at many clubs around the globe, including numerous dates at Ibiza venues such as Pacha and Space. Morales also contributed to radio shows and released DJ mix compilations.
David Morales grew up in an influential era for dance music and was a regular at his native New York's fabled clubs such as the Loft and the Paradise Garage. He also started his own night club in Brooklyn in 1981 at the Ozone Layer, taking cues from both the Paradise Garage and The Loft. His residency at the Ozone Layer (which lasted until 1986) led him to play at the Paradise Garage in 1983.
He was also a DJ at Club Zanzibar in Newark, New Jersey in the 1980s, home to the Jersey Sound brand of deep house or garage house.
After Morales became a regular DJ during the mid-1980s he began a remixing career, at the same time that remixing other artists became popular. Alongside Chicago house music pioneer Frankie Knuckles and For The Record DJ Pool founder Judy Weinstein, Morales founded Def Mix Productions to manage their work.
David Morales' solo production debut came in 1993 with the Mercury Records album The Program, credited to David Morales & The Bad Yard Club. In 1998, he released "Needin' U" on the Def Mix label, DMI Records, under the alias The Face. The track licensed to Mercury Records UK became a number one Dance Record and video which became licensed and covered globally.
Ultra Records released Morales' second album Two Worlds Collide in 2005. The single "How Would You Feel" was performed by Lea Lorien. "Here I Am", performed by UK artist Tamra Keenan (remixed by Kaskade), is featured in the 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada. "Feels Good", performed by Angela Hunte features in the end credits of 2008 film You Don't Mess with the Zohan.
