This is a real gem, got directly from the man himself, a
rare live set by one of the most influential and
prolific ambient/chill out/eclectic djs in the scene.
if you get a chance to see him play live, don't miss it,
you never know what weirdness he'll concoct :) keep
your eyes peeled for his new irresistible force album
that's being completed these days.
Bio:
"Mixmaster Morris is an underground legend who hardly
needs any introduction. He started on pirate radio in
'85 with "the Mongolian Hip Hop Show," and since then
he's been a dynamic force on the international avant
garde music and festival scenes.
Morris started The Irresistible Force in '87 and made
two very collectible early singles. He developed a live
acid house concept into The Madhouse (1988), which was
widely credited as the first live techno event in
London. He joined up with The Shamen at the end of '89,
creating the highly acclaimed Synergy club, which toured
the UK and Europe for over two years. Morris supported
The Orb at many of their early shows, and other bands
including Spiritualized, System 7...
MMM then signed to Rising High and released two classic
Irresistible Force albums, Flying High and Global
Chillage. Both made the indie top 5 and were released in
the US (Astralwerks, Instinct) and Japan (Sony.)
The Mixmaster made his name as the hardest working
chillout DJ in the world, doing all-night soundscapes in
30 countries at a bizarre selection of parties. In the
US he appeared at 'Even Further' in '96, at the Full
Moon Party in the Mojave Desert, at the Plantasia rave
in San Bernadino, on a boat party in San Francisco, and
at many small clubs in NY, SF, LA, Chicago, Boston,
Baltimore, Milwaukee etc. In Germany, he appereared at
the Berlin Love Parade for ten years running (the
world's largest techno event,) and recorded two deeply
chilled Dreamfish albums with Frankfurt electroguru Pete
Namlook. Morris is still one of the UK's most popular
DJ's across the country, he has been resident DJ at
Glastonbury Festival for six years, warming up for The
Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Jamiroquai, Stereolab etc.
In Japan he played all over the country, including the
massive Rainbow 2000 raves on sacred Mt. Fuji.
Morris recorded The Morning After mix CD in 1996 for
Positiva, which shows his mixing style at the time,
blending trip hop and ambient jungle into a cool
soundtrack for head-nodding. He also made a classic
ambient mix CD, split with Alex Patterson for Mixmag.
From 1995 to 1999 he was the only DJ with his own page
in the latter magazine, with a chance to champion
underground music and chillout vibes. Nowadays he's
recognised as a leading critic of corporate dance music.
Many of the leading electronic acts had their first
press coverage courtesy of the Mixmaster: Aphex Twin,
Ken Ishii, Black Dog, Orbital, Atom Heart, Bedouin
Ascent and more recently T Power, Squarepusher, Dot
Records and Jimpster. No wonder Radio 1's John Peel
named him as his 'natural successor.'
After a break from recording he signed to Ninja Tune,
and recorded the acclaimed "Its Tomorrow Already,"
releasing the single Nepalese Bliss/ Fish Dances to
preceed the album release in 1999. The single contained
strong remixes by the likes of Fila Brazilia, Jimpster
and Amon Tobin.
In early '99 Morris recorded the "Quiet Logic" album
with SF's Jonah Sharp (Spacetime Continuum) in Tokyo's
YMO studio, released by Daisyworld. Later in '99, Morris
ran the acclaimed 'Nubient' night at the Dogstar in
Brixton. A weekly Sunday event, Morris played alongside
heavyweight friends such as Luke Vibert, Coldcut and
Claude Young. Best of all, it was free!
Morris toured extensively in '99, completing a mini-tour
of America with a larger US tour at the end of the year.
He giggied in the UK and Europe, and somehow kept up
with his relentless schedule of DJ bookings around the
world.s
Over the last year, Morris' schedule has been equally
relentless, but just as rewarding. He played several
sets on Kiss FM, and completed another U.S tour. During
his time in the States he put together sets for several
internet radio stations, including Icast, Dublab and
Groovelab. He won the 1999 Ibiza DJ Award for the best
experimental/ chillout DJ, and has been nominated again
this year.
Further to this, MorrisÆ has put together several mixes
for Solid Steel showcasing his incredible sense of the
eclectic, and the size of his record collection! This
year, MorrisÆ will be the only British DJ to have played
at all 10 Berlin Love Parades, an event he remains
enthusiastic about.
Morris recently produced a track to go on the "Groove
Movie" soon to be released on Sony
www.groovethemovie.com. Morris is extensively quoted in
an MTV produced book "Looking for the perfect beat". And
in between DJing dates, he's still working on the
perfect beats for his next Ninja release." -

"DJ, musician, journalist, and self-described
"international cheerleader of ambient," Mixmaster Morris
has been one of the most visible ù and most active ù
proponents of new ambient and electronic music. As
renowned for his inventive, wide-casting DJ sets as for
his original works under the Irresistible Force name,
Morris's influence on the direction of post-rave
electronica has been enormous. From his relentless tour
schedule, weekly playlists, and monthly release reviews,
to his extensive website chronicling the evolution of
ambient and experimental electronic music, Morris has
helped bring a whole range of otherwise obscure artists
(from Terre Thaemlitz to Photek; Ken Ishii to Robert
Rich) to a wider audience. And while his holographic
suits, Zippy connections, and soundbite approach to
musical evangelism might seem a bit ridiculous, his
commitment to the music and the quality of his ongoing
contribution is undeniable.
English-born Morris Gould got his start as a DJ in the
early '80s ù not in warehouse party chill rooms, but in
dive-bar punk clubs spinning experimental rock, jazz,
electronic, and other assorted weirdness in between
bands. Eventually taking his deck proficiency and
rapidly expanding record collection to pirate station
Network 21 (where he worked with Jonathan More and Matt
Black of Coldcut), Morris earned his nickname from his
eclectic radio shows, during which he might pair Terry
Riley with Tibetan monks or Captain Beefheart with
Amazonian field recordings. After finishing college in
the mid-'80s, Morris worked in computer systems
administration before forming Irresistible Force with
friend Des de Moor in 1987. The pair played clubs and
toured with Meat Beat Manifesto, eventually releasing a
single before Morris dissolved the partnership in 1989.
Retaining the name, Morris delved deeper into the
growing U.K. rave scene, touring with the Shamen in
1989, playing side gigs and parties, and organizing
London's first ambient club events, Telepathic Fish.
Although Morris had experimented with real-time tape
loops and low-rent electronics since the mid-'80s, it
wasn't until the early '90s that he began to seriously
pursue recording. He released his first full-length
work, Flying High, on the Rising High label, and
recorded a celebrated collaboration with Frankfurt
ambient composer Pete Namlook, Dreamfish. Both albums
landed Morris at the forefront of the new ambient
movement ù a position he graciously accepted ù and a
string of remix work for the likes of Coldcut, the
Shamen, Barbarella, Rising High Collective, and Higher
Intelligence Agency followed. Growing problems with his
label, however, would plague Morris into the recording
of his second album, with was delayed for two years.
Following the release of Global Chillage in 1995, Morris
dissolved his relationship with Rising High and began
recording for old friends Coldcut on their Ninja Tune
label. The 1998 full-length It's Tomorrow Already was
the first under the new deal." - Sean Cooper,

"Mixmaster Morris (real name: Morris Gould) began his
career as a DJ around 1982, spinning indie and punk
music while attending college in London. As he
continued, he expanded to experimental jazz and fusion
artists like Sun Ra and Captain Beefheart. He also
started to host one-man electronic shows, using loops
and tapes to make hypnotic, ambient mixes. He began to
work in London's pirate-radio scene, where he first
gained the nickname Mixmaster Morris. After college,
Morris worked as a computer systems analyst, but kept
DJing when he had the chance. In 1985, he started
working under the name Rhythm Method, only two years
later he changed it to the Irresistible Force when he
began working with Des de Moor. They began a techno
event called Madhouse in 1988, an annual show that was
one of the first to celebrate electronic music. A tour
with Meat Beat Manifesto led to the recording of his
first single, 1989's "I Want To," and a split from de
Moor that saw him retaining the name Irresistible Force.
He was the supporting DJ for the Shamen's tour of
Europe, taking breaks to play chill-out rooms at
underground parties. In 1990, he took a regular gig at
the chill-out room in Heaven, a club started by the
Orb's Alex Patterson. He also played an infamous show
with Aphex Twin around this time that lasted 16 hours.
In 1992, he finally released a full album under the
Irresistible Force name, Flying High. A flurry of work
followed, including singles, remixes, and eventually a
second album, 1994's Global Chillage. The album was the
first he made strictly on his computer, a trend he would
