Mixmaster Morris

Mixmaster Morris (born Morris Gould, 30 December 1965) is an English ambient DJ and underground musician. Born in Brighton, Sussex, England, but grew up in Lincolnshire and was educated at Millfield in Somerset, and King's College London. Before leaving school he founded a punk rock band, the Ripchords, whose sole release was an eponymous EP with four tracks, in 1979. After leaving university, he began working as a DJ in 1985 with his "Mongolian Hip Hop Show" on pirate radio station Network 21 in London – the handle Mixmaster Morris was suggested by the station director. After a year of managing a club called "The Gift" in New Cross, which had been founded by Keith Gallagher and named after a Velvet Underground song, Morris began releasing material as the Irresistible Force in 1987 in collaboration with singer-songwriter Des de Moor.

==Links to Peel==
Morris' connection to Peel started when his band, the Ripchords, got airplay on his shows in 1979. Later Morris got involved with the emerging UK acid house scene, after organising Madhouse at The Fridge, Brixton in 1988 – which was the subject of a piece by Peel in The Observer, published on 23rd October 1988 . However, it was only until the early 90's when he collaborated with Des de Moor as Irresistible Force, that Peel started to play much of his music, including two sessions for his programmes. Morris also worked with German producer, Peter Kuhlmann, as part of Dreamfish, which Peel played a track from in 1993. Peel was also quoted as stating that Morris was his natural successor, although it is not known when he said that or what it was referring to.
