David Morales in todays Metro

quote:

DJ spins into T.O. Name: David Morales Occupation: DJ International dance music producer and veteran DJ David Morales is on a non-stop trek around the world with one mission in mind: getting partygoers on their feet. His latest stop is Toronto with the April 29 launch of Sonic, a new after-hours nightclub he�s spearheading with local DJ Nevio Persia. �I�ve spun at the old space before and I saw it�s potential,� says Morales, who after 31 years of spinning and winning a Grammy, ranks as one of the world�s top mix masters. In addition to running his own label, Def Mix Productions, he has remixed the sounds of musical giants like Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson and his personal favourite, Mariah Carey. �She�s a workaholic like me,� notes Morales, who takes credit for giving Carey club credibility when he transformed her 1995 pop hit Fantasy into a high-energy house anthem. From then on, he�s remixed a string of Carey hits for the club: My All, Honey, It�s Like That, and her latest release, Say Something. In addition to having spawned one of the biggest dance hits last year with How Would You Feel, the Brooklyn, N.Y., native is also known to ravers in Montreal with his club Stereo, praised for its simplistic, intimate setting and impeccable surround-like sound system. Those features are echoed in Sonic, his second major business move in Canada. �I�m not afraid of the competition because there is no competition. I have the best sound system and my name is money,� says Morales, who flew into town last week with bags under his eyes to personally supervise the finishing touches to his investment, which has clearly cost a mint in renovations. The space, which has gone through three name changes in three years (from Boa to 270 Spadina to Sonic), is now decked out with a Moroccan-themed interior � a stark contrast with its rather odd location, the heart of downtown Chinatown. Even more odd is that the space used to be a Chinese theatre, but thanks to the DJing duo, the floors have been levelled with sound-absorbing hardwood. �I love the location, and besides, I can always get the best Chinese food,� says Morales.

both.

He's total Hollywood....I like the arrogance

To me the article makes it seem like he is impassioned by profit, not music, even though his credentials are clearly listed.

It's incredible how a single quote can throw an entirely new slant on an interview/article.

I highly doubt that any people who would want to go to sonic would be turned off by those comments, so I'm sure David's not too worried about it.

I'm sure with the Brooklyn accent it prob sounds pretty cool.

It's an article in the metro...I'm sure it's being read by people who have no clue about Sonic or even house music, so it could be a first impression for many.

LMFAO

bullshit it's the truth, he has serious fucking competition (some of the toughest in the world), his stereo system is yet to be proven, and his name means fuck all to me.

Did someone shit in your cornflakes today?

hah not at all, RJ it's hardly the truth, c'mon fack. I appreciate what Sonic is trying to do, but Morales' is talking crazy talk.

The current scene will, for the most part, eventually get old and stop going out to after hours. If any venue is going to be successful long term, it needs to try to interest people who normally don't have any interest/knowledge about the club or the EDM scene. It is these people who will replace the current partiers as they get older.

Articles like this - in a publication such as the metro which has a HUGE readership - is more of an advertisement than it is an interview.

true, but for every old foggie who decides to hang up their afterhours career, there will be a young buck, fresh on his way from his days of all ages and mainstream that will step in their place.

(now more than ever with the crossover EDM is making into the mainstream these days)
