Paying homage to his formative years at the influential club of the same name, DJ/Producer, David Morales is back with ‘RED ZONE 7’ on his label Diridim which sonically lives up to the high standards of previous Red Zone albums. Comprised of eight intense tracks, ‘Red Zone 7’ draws on a plethora of electronic music styles aimed squarely at big-room and intimate clubs alike.
The release initiates with “Time Traveler”, an atmospheric tech-house track featuring international producer/artist, Blakkat on vocals, that is enriched by pads and synth-stabs that are uniquely tied together to deliver a pulsating beat. From “Don’t Be Alarmed”, featuring vocal chants by Mike Dunn, to the pounding bassline of “Virus”, to “No Fear”, which builds up to a drop that delivers a powerful synth lead, tech-house aficionados will be left wanting more. In contrast, “Mental Ruby”, “Movin”, Spirit Dance” and “Mi Casa” combine the sounds of Afro-House and Techno that will appeal to audiences with idiosyncratic tastes for sub-genres of electronic dance music. ‘RED ZONE 7’ showcases David Morales’s imaginative genius with classic ‘hands-in-the-air’ tracks just in time for Summer 2022.

His unquenchable thirst for newness is precisely why this native New Yorker remains at the top of his game into the new decade - “It’s about keeping an open mind,” as Morales says. In 2020, due to the global pandemic and inability to travel, he launched, Sunday Mass, a livestreaming show on Twitch to entertain his fans across the world. The 2021 IMS Business Report based on data, cited him as one of the dance music artists who experienced online success during the pandemic. Into post-pandemic times and with the reopening of clubs all over the world, David continued his legacy as a native New Yorker and trailblazing DJ, constantly gracing the best international stages with recent standout performances such as the Hacienda Warehouse Project in Manchester, Clockwork Orange in London, Stereo Montreal, EDC Vegas, Hi Ibiza, and After Caposile Venice.

HISTORY
David Morales honed his skills as a DJ in the 1980s and 1990s at such legendary clubs as the Ozone Layer, Paradise Garage, Red Zone, Zanzibar, Tunnel and Club USA just to name a few. When the remix and DJ work began taking off, Morales teamed up with house music legend, Frankie Knuckles, and For The Record DJ Pool founder/NYC nightlife impresario, Judy Weinstein, to create Def Mix Productions.
Morales’ prolific production career kicked into high gear in the 1990s with the release of his solo debut album, “The Program” by David Morales & The Bad Yard Club. In the late-1990s, with hundreds of remixes (Mariah Carey’s “Dreamlover,” Janet Jackson’s “Throb,” Alison Limerick’s “Where Love Lives,” CeCe Peniston’s “Finally,” Jamiroquai’s “Space Cowboy”, Jaydee’s “Plastic Dreams,” Robert Owens’ “I’ll Be Your Friend,” under his belt, Morales recorded the groundbreaking house classic, “Needin’ U,” under the alias David Morales Presents The Face. Morales’ second album, “2 Worlds Collide,” arrived in 2005, followed six years later, by his third album, “Changes.” 
David Morales was nominated for his first Grammy Award in 1996 as a Producer on Mariah Carey’s album, ‘Daydream’ for the song ‘Fantasy’. In 1998 he won a Grammy Award for “Remixer of the Year.”
Though Morales’ past is surely one for music’s history books, the DJ-turned-artist always has his eyes firmly focused on the future—on what lies ahead. He keeps an ear to the ground, regularly exploring new music, new artists, and hotly tipped DJs who might inspire him to “go and do my homework.” He happily embraces the new generation of clubgoers. “They don’t care about yesterday”, he says, with a knowing smile.
