House music is something that lives in some peoples’ bones, once it gets a hold of you, you can’t let it go.  Someone that house music grabbed hold of and it’s been with him ever since is Scottish DJ, Iain ‘Boney’ Clark.  In 1987 when house music had started causing major waves in the club scene, Boney got his first set of decks and his journey towards becoming a big player in the world of DJing began. Having attended the now legendary Club 9 events in Lanarkshire, Scotland, Boney took inspiration from the one & only Yogi Haughton. Yogi’s selection of Soul, Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop and everything House, convinced Boney that DJing and club promotion was the life for him.

Boney has an eclectic taste in music but with such early influences in listening to and playing along side the likes of Masters At Work, Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, Danny Krivit, Francois K, Joe Claussell, Blaze, Arnold Jarvis and Kenny Bobien, his first love of Soulful House always shines through.  He has been an integral part of the club scene in Scotland. Along with some earlier ventures, he was a founding DJ/promoter along with Ricky Magowan, of the very successful Cru Club (1987). It was the catalyst in starting many a clubbers journey into a lifelong love affair with the rave/dance culture. Some of the biggest events of the era was undoubtedly, ‘Dirtbox’ at Glasgow’s famous Barrowlands, where he joined the bill along with now pioneering artists Slam and Revolution at the Plaza Ballrooms where an unknown Judge Jules played one of his early first sets. Iain ‘Boney’ Clark was the original STREETrave resident after starting the brand with long-terms friends Ricky Magowan (Colours, STREETrave, Back To The Future) & Jim McKay. He has been part of the STREETrave/Colours family for over 23 years and continues to be a driving force behind what makes the events so memorable. You name any DJ from Sasha, Digweed, Graeme Park to Morillo, Morales then Iain ‘Boney’ Clark has shared the bill with them.

It’s been STREETrave that has become the longest standing residency for Boney and throughout his time with the brand he’s played some of Scotland’s most famous events. From memorable parties in venues such as Ayr Pavilion and Prestwick Airport, Coloursfest and Festivals like EH1 and Live at Loch Lomond to a yearly party at the world famous nightclub The Arches, Boney has done it all. His relationship with the brand has also taken him to many super clubs of the world such as Pacha, Privilege/Manumission, Ministry Of Sound and Limelight NY to name a few. Whether he’s playing the opening set, closing set, or sandwiched right in the middle, Iain ‘Boney’ Clark will indulge all.

His involvement in the scene has not only included DJ’ing, but also record label management distribution and journalism. He started up Sugarcube Recordings along with friend and fellow DJ, Kris Keegan in 1996. The label had released 13 singles including releases from Jason Nevins, Smokin Jo, Andy Marshall & Colin Walker. The label was distributed with his full time employer Pinnacle Records, who where not only a distributer but also label as well.
Legendary National dance magazine M8 approached Boney to write their monthly reviews for new releases and these influential features ran for over 2 years. 

Boney has mixed magazine cover-mount CD’s and has guested on various radio shows but after a brief hiatus he’s now rediscovered his thirst for the scene again and after 25yrs and now securing his own radio show on Glasgow based Soul Project Radio, his thirst for the industry ever grows.

Welcome to the Shades of Rhythm Sound Cloud. Here we hope to start uploading the history of Shades of Rhythm in the form of Vinyl releases from 1987 acetates to 2009 Remixes. We have dug deep and to start the cloud off we have found our first 2 Acetates we pressed to play in our DJ sets way back in 1987 followed by our very first release on Stevie V's label Beatbox International back in 1988. 
Shades of Rhythm are Nick Slater, Kevin Lancaster & Rayan Hepburn but on these very early releases we had a fourth member, Colin "Wildcat" Tyson who was a huge influence on the band. Cat always wanted his own label & didn't want to sign his music to a another record label and in 1988 decided to go it alone. 
Next up was the Frequency album, our first Album, pressed up by ourselves and responsible for kickstarting our musical endeavours. The Frequency Album was Naive yet fresh and will always bring back fond memories of that time. We literally sold the vinyl out the boot of our car to places like Spin Inn  Records in Manchester & Mash records in London. 
While The Frequency Album was busy getting signed we put out the Fenland Bass EP. We released it on our SOR Recordings label (SOR 002) under the artist name "Frenzied Bass". Not sure why? Probably so as not to interfere with the forthcoming ZTT releases. 
Our Records were getting played and our first Remixes came in, one from an Indie band called Habit and a track called Power. The other from 2 friends of ours from Peterborough, Dave Allen & Simon Brownlie, recording under the name Tranquillizer for Casper Pounds label Rising High.
Next up the ZTT years...

Archive, taking a nostalgic trip back into time, trying to recreate the beginning of House, Techno and Acid clubs in Scotland at the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, in fact on the night we will only be playing tunes from 88-93 to be precise, probably thee defining years of house music,  if you were clubbing like us back then you were probably on the same buses as us traveling the length and breadth of Scotland to clubs like the Kronk, the Hacienda, Distills (Sweat Box) the Metro, the Sub Club etc. etc. the list goes on and on.
On the night we will be playing mostly UK and US house with a little Acid, Belgian Techno, and Indie house thrown in, 5 hours’ worth of Old School Classics.

David Morales is a globally revered American DJ, a Grammy award-winning record producer, songwriter, and businessman. He has produced and remixed over 1000+ records for an all-star roster of multi-platinum artists, including Mariah Carey, U2, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Madonna, and Whitney Houston. A true legend of house music, the global phenomenon and penetration of dance music into Top 40 radio would not have been possible without him.
More recently, Morales launched DIRIDIM Records in 2018. With this new label, David is signing and developing new talent - and naturally, releasing some of his own music. DIRIDIM celebrates all kinds of dance music, ranging from the classic house music sound Morales is known for to straight-up electronic sonorities. In January 2022, Morales released "Life Is a Song", his first full-length studio album in almost 10 years. Produced during the pandemic lockdown, the album featuring artists, Mr. V., Blakkat, Elle Cato, Michelle Perera, Lea Lorien, Blondewearingblack among others, quickly gained an international following eager to hear more and skyrocketed up Traxsource's album chart to #1 for three weeks. 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. In 2024, David Morales is holding a residency at the legendary Pikes Hotel in Ibiza during the summer. A pinnacle in his repertoire is also the ongoing success of the Sunday Mass parties in NY, featuring both club nights and legendary boat parties during the summer. These events stand as a testament to Morales's enduring impact as a true legend on the house music scene. On top of this all, David is on the brink of releasing a new LP, 'Sunday Mass Vol. 1', the inaugural installment in a series with more to come in 2024. As we venture into 2024, expect a flurry of news and projects, with the new year expected to be a more than ever prolific one for David Morales.

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.
