"Beloved DJ of the Moscow Bohemia" back in Moscow

XIII proudly presents the only performance of the beloved DJ of the Moscow bohemia, Grammy Award winner, the first producer of Mariah Carey, international celebrity, and leading American DJ - David Morales. Defining David Morales' creative profile is not so easy. He has long outgrown his DJ status, proving himself not only as a club celebrity but also as a talented producer, excellent musician, successful businessman, social lion, and even fashion model. His path to fame began in 1989 when native Brooklynite David Morales became a resident DJ at the hottest club in New York at that time - the famous The Red Zone. Soon, musicians, actors, wealthy idlers, and gangsters – all those who called themselves New York bohemia – knew very well that there was no better DJ in the city than Morales. With such a reputation, finding a decent job was easy. Especially in the early 90s, when house music rapidly gained popularity, and pop stars rushed to make dance versions of their own hits. During this golden time, Morales' clients included Michael Jackson, Madonna, Tina Turner, Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey. David Morales had especially close relations with the last one. He not only worked on remixes of her hits but also "created the sound" for her albums. This did not go unnoticed by music critics. Morales was nominated three times for a Grammy as Best Sound Producer. In 1998, the award finally found its hero, - he received the Grammy for remixes of songs by the same Carey. The money earned from making remixes Morales wisely invested in his own record label. In the late 90s, together with Judy Weinstein, he opened Def Mix Productions, which was destined to become one of the most prominent players in the American dance music market. Today, albums of recognized classics of the genre Frankie Knuckles, Satoshi Tomei, Hector Romero, and of course Morales himself are released on this label. In early 2005, David Morales' debut album "2 Worlds Collide" was released - 12 tracks of top-notch vocal house recorded in collaboration with excellent singers Lia-Lorraine and Tamra Kiinan. The disc topped the dance charts of Billboard and was released in 10 countries worldwide. Including Russia, by the company "Government of Sound." However, David Morales did not limit himself to musical achievements alone. His striking appearance allowed him to become the face of the advertising campaign Iceberg Jeans, and billboards featuring his image adorned the streets of New York, London, and Tokyo for a long time. As a DJ and fashion star, he performed at Versace shows during Milan's Haute Couture Week. As a socialite and a desirable groom, he appeared in the pages of Vogue, GQ, Wallpaper, and ID. His club Stereo is now one of the trendiest venues in Montreal (Canada). Today, David Morales has the reputation of a true pop star. He hosts two dance shows on national radio stations, serves as a consultant for MTV, and is a resident at clubs Stereo (Canada), il Muretto (Italy), and Pacha (Ibiza, Spain). David has had long-standing relationships with Moscow's social scene. He first visited the Russian capital two years ago and performed at the "Friday XIII" party at "Shambala." Since then, Morales has secured a reputation as the "beloved DJ of Moscow bohemia," a title that the renowned musician and producer seems to value highly. At XIII, he will perform a special set tailored to the tastes of the metropolitan audience, featuring both timeless hits and completely new dance tracks.
