From House to Progressive, and everything in between, a sense of control is paramount to a tight track - it contains a sound that is balanced, and arranged with a high attention to detail; it allows the producer to maximise the effect of subtle creative decisions that essentially defines their unique sound. For Californian producer/DJ, Marlo Morales, this is no exception. Inspired by a master of the genre in the likes of Axwell, Chicane, Bicep, and Joris Voorn, Morales boasts an uprightly, forward-heading sound, both in the studio and behind the decks. From the age of 21, Morales ditched his gig as a punk rock guitarist, and instead dedicated hours learning the ropes of audio mixdown and arrangement, whilst carving out a recognizable electronic sound. As a result, his sound is refined and tasteful, culminating in the creation of unique atmospheres from track to track - whether it be a smooth, tech house roller for those Sunday sessions, or a late night 2am bumper to drive the party. Soon after diving into audio production, Morales found himself behind a Pioneer setup and never looked back. At the mixer, Morales’ style is a testament to what a selektor is supposed to be - spontaneous; with an eye on the decks and one on the dance floor; he spins with both the crowd and himself as an artist in mind.
