Morales The veteran New York clubland legend on tans, his DJ mates and winning Grammys
Are you looking forward to topping up your tan at Sandance?
[Laughs]. I’ve been on the beach all summer, so I’m tanned already. But I don’t mind relaxing in the Gulf.
Are you pals with any of the other DJs playing the festival?
Only Sasha. I’ve known him for almost 20 years. He was my warm-up DJ many moons ago.
You’ve played club dates in Dubai before, but do you expect a different vibe this time?
Yes. Obviously clubs are more intimate. In clubs people get more dressed up and they don’t come out until late. Festivals usually attract a lot more people.
You’re among an elite band of DJs/producers to win a Grammy. Do you keep the gong on display?
I keep it in my studio. I have great memories of my journey in this business, from producing famous artists to winning awards.
What’s next?
Producing new artists, besides producing my own records, and touring as usual. I plan on taking a month off in November and then I have a new album coming out in December.
