Maurice Fulton

DownTownSounds 9th Birthday

DownTownSounds celebrates it's 9th Birthday at Nightflight on Friday the 26th of February and they have invited back one of their all time favourite djs and a regular guest at their parties in Ri Ra back in the day, Maurice Fulton.

Maurice is a man who learnt his trade under Stateside legends like Tony Humphries and Tee Scott before going on to work with the Basement Boys production team in New Jersey. Having over 20 years of production and djing experience he made his European Dj debut in 1990, before going on to break through to the mainstream when he co-produced Crystal Waters’ worldwide hit ‘Gypsy Woman( La Da Dee)’ in 1992.

Over the years he has recorded or remixed for a ‘who’s who’ of underground labels – from Warp, Wave and Classic to Output, Compost, Balihu and his current home, Tirk Records. The London based label is also home to New Young Pony Club, Greg Wilson, Idjut Boys and Andy Cato of Groove Armada’s ‘SugarDaddy’ project.

A regular at world renowned clubs like London’s Fabric and Manchester’s sadly defunct Electric Chair, his productions have been included on compilations by the diverse likes of 2 Many Dj’s, Unabombers, Idjut Boys, Trevor Jackson and Four Tet, and has turned in mixes for the likes of Hot Chip, Alice Smith and Crazy P.

Recent projects of note include a full length LP for DFA under the Syclops moniker and an amazing remix of Simian Mobile Disco’s recent collaboration with Beth Ditto of the Gossip, ‘Cruel Intentions’. Support on the night from housewives favourite's Pablo and Louche.
