David Morales has been DJing for more than three decades and has transformed the sound of New York house music and subsequently the sound of mainstream dance music. 

David Morales was born in Brooklyn to Puerto Rican immigrants. He spent his youth in a tough part of the Brooklyn projects and dropped out of school in the ninth grade. While working as a cook, he took his first tentative steps at DJing and was turned on to disco music in the legendary New York clubs, the Loft and the Paradise Garage.

By the early '80s, he had built a formidable reputation on the New York dance scene, having DJed in every major club in the New York area. Morales moved on to remix and production work in the '80s, hooking up with Frankie Knuckles to form the Def Mix Productions crew. Morales seminal Red Zone remixes were highly influential in the development of the progressive house movement.

As dance music moved into the mainstream in the '90s, Morales adapted his sound and brought his remixes from the nightclubs to daytime radio play lists. Morales' remix of Seal with Def Mix began a long list of high profile remixes and a growing reputation as remixer to the stars.

David Morales went on to work with artists like U2, Madonna, Mariah Carey and Bjork. Morales has had hits of his own with "In De Ghetto" in 1994 and released his own albums The Program.

David Morales is an expert DJ knowing how to pump the sound, push the crowd with his gospel of house music. So get your dance shoes on and check out the house stylings of David Morales on at the Spirit Dance Arena at Oxegen 2006.
