Extreme Chill Festival Presents: Mixmaster Morris (UK) 7 Júlí á Húrra (Tryggvagata 22) Mixmaster Morris hefur komið víða við á sínu ferli. Ungur á árum ferðaðist hann með sem skífuþeytir með hljómsveitinni The Shamen í hartnær tvö ár, en hljómsveit þessi ættu margir eldri áhugamenn um raftónlist að þekkja. Hann hefur þrisvar sinnum hlotið nafnbótina „Sveimplötusnúður ársins“ á Ibiza plötusnúðaverðlaununum, nú síðast árið 2010. Hann ferðaðist með hinni stórgóðu sveit Coldcut árið 2007 og hefur í raun verið hálfgerður Zelig persónu í gegnum raftónlistarsögu vestrænna þjóða síðustu 25 ár. Fyrsta útgáfan hans var undir dulnefninu The Irresistible Force og kallaðist stuttskífan I Want To. Þrátt fyrir góða móttökur á henni, má segja að frægðarsól hans hafi risið við útgáfu á breiðskífunni Flying High, sem kom út árið 1992 á hinni goðsagnakenndu útgáfu Rising High Records. Næsta breiðskífa hans nefndist Global Chillage og var gefin út af Astralwerks. Þriðja breiðskífa hans, og líklega sú þekktasta meðal yngri kynslóðarinnar, er It’s Tomorrow Already, sem kom út á vegum Ninja Tune. Mixmaster Morris þótti hæfur endurhljóðblandari, en endurhljóðblöndun hans á verki Coldcut, Autumn Leaves, er talið vera eitt af meistaraverkum sveimtónlistarsögunnar. Stuðboltinn Norman Cook, sem margir þekkja sem Fatboy Slim, útlistar þá endurhljóðblöndun sem uppáhalds sveimtónlistarlag allra tíma. Hann hefur endurhljóðblandað t.a.m. Lloyd Cole, Higher Intelligence Agency, Sven Våth, Rising High Collective, Hardfloor og áströlsku popparana í INXS. Hann hefur starfað t.a.m. með listamönnum á borð við Pete Namlook, en saman mynduðu þeir raftónlistardúóið Dreamfish, og Haruomi Hosono, sem er best þekktur sem meðlimur hljómsveitarinnar Yellow Magic Orchestra. Extreme Chill Festival 2017 fer fram 6 – 9 Júlí næstkomandi og er hátíðin í fyrsta skipti haldin í Reykjavík 5 mismunandi stöðum í miðborginni, Lucky Records, Mengi, Bíó Paradís, Húrra og Fríkirkjunni í Reykjavík.

He started on pirate radio in '85 with "the Mongolian Hip Hop Show," and since then he's been a dynamic force on the international avant garde music and festival scenes. Morris started The Irresistible Force in '87 and made two very collectible early singles. He developed a live acid house concept into The Madhouse (1988), which was widely credited as the first live techno event in London. He joined up with The Shamen at the end of '89, creating the highly acclaimed Synergy club, which toured the UK and Europe for over two years. Morris supported The Orb at many of their early shows, and other bands including Spiritualized, System 7... MMM then signed to Rising High and released two classic Irresistible Force albums, Flying High and Global Chillage. Both made the indie top 5 and were released in the US (Astralwerks, Instinct) and Japan (Sony.) The Mixmaster made his name as the hardest working chillout DJ in the world, doing all-night soundscapes in 30 countries at a bizarre selection of parties. In the US he appeared at 'Even Further' in '96, at the Full Moon Party in the Mojave Desert, at the Plantasia rave in San Bernadino, on a boat party in San Francisco, and at many small clubs in NY, SF, LA, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, Milwaukee etc. In Germany, he appereared at the Berlin Love Parade for ten years running (the world's largest techno event,) and recorded two deeply chilled Dreamfish albums with Frankfurt electroguru Pete Namlook. Morris is still one of the UK's most popular DJ's across the country, he has been resident DJ at Glastonbury Festival for six years, warming up for The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Jamiroquai, Stereolab etc. In Japan he played all over the country, including the massive Rainbow 2000 raves on sacred Mt. Fuji. Morris recorded The Morning After mix CD in 1996 for Positiva, which shows his mixing style at the time, blending trip hop and ambient jungle into a cool soundtrack for head-nodding. He also made a classic ambient mix CD, split with Alex Patterson for Mixmag. From 1995 to 1999 he was the only DJ with his own page in the latter magazine, with a chance to champion underground music and chillout vibes. Nowadays he's recognised as a leading critic of corporate dance music. Many of the leading electronic acts had their first press coverage courtesy of the Mixmaster: Aphex Twin, Ken Ishii, Black Dog, Orbital, Atom Heart, Bedouin Ascent and more recently T Power, Squarepusher, Dot Records and Jimpster. No wonder Radio 1's John Peel named him as his 'natural successor.' After a break from recording he signed to Ninja Tune, and recorded the acclaimed "Its Tomorrow Already," releasing the single Nepalese Bliss/ Fish Dances to preceed the album release in 1999. The single contained strong remixes by the likes of Fila Brazilia, Jimpster and Amon Tobin. In early '99 Morris recorded the "Quiet Logic" album with SF's Jonah Sharp (Spacetime Continuum) in Tokyo's YMO studio, released by Daisyworld. Later in '99, Morris ran the acclaimed 'Nubient' night at the Dogstar in Brixton. A weekly Sunday event, Morris played alongside heavyweight friends such as Luke Vibert, Coldcut and Claude Young. Best of all, it was free! Morris toured extensively in '99, completing a mini-tour of America with a larger US tour at the end of the year. He giggied in the UK and Europe, and somehow kept up with his relentless schedule of DJ bookings around the world. Over the last year, Morris' schedule has been equally relentless, but just as rewarding. He played several sets on Kiss FM, and completed another U.S tour. During his time in the States he put together sets for several internet radio stations, including Icast, Dublab and Groovelab. He won the 1999 Ibiza DJ Award for the best experimental/ chillout DJ, and has been nominated again this year. Further to this, Morris' has put together several mixes for Solid Steel showcasing his incredible sense of the eclectic, and the size of his record collection! This year, Morris' will be the only British DJ to have played at all 10 Berlin Love Parades, an event he remains enthusiastic about. Morris recently produced a track to go on the "Groove Movie" soon to be released on Sony www.groovethemovie.com. Morris is extensively quoted in an MTV produced book "Looking for the perfect beat". And in between DJing dates, he's still working on the perfect beats for his next Ninja release. https://ninjatune.net/artist/the-irresistible-force

The film is a blend of live concert footage, rare unseen archive material and unprecedented studio access from the duo’s Moonbuilding 2703AD recording sessions in Berlin. It features interviews with key creative players; Youth, Guy Pratt, Mixmaster Morris, Matt Black, and many other current and former members of the Orb's extended family. The result in a film that is truly Orb-riginal. https://www.lunarorbitfilm.com Lunar Orbit: Movie Screening 7th of July 18.00 at Bíó Paradís. The Orb have changed the musical landscape and have defied perception. As pioneers of electronica, they were the innovators of ambient house, a mix of acid house and ambient music. Their seminal ground breaking 1991 album “The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld” has been widely recognized as one of the truly great electronic albums of all time. The Orb is Alex Paterson - although he never works alone. Alex doesn’t consider himself a musician, he’s a DJ. “I don’t particularly want to pick up an instrument, I want to pick up all these sounds and make musical notes”. He got his start in music as a roadie for the legendary post punk band Killing Joke before forming his own label WAU Mr. Modo with lifelong friend and longtime Orb collaborator Youth. He co founded The Orb in 1988 with The KLF’s Jimmy Cauty. Swiss composer/producer Thomas Fehlmann is the other half of the current Orb lineup -now creating and touring as a duo. As an art student in Hamburg his encounters with Conrad Schnitzler and Robert Fripp in 1979 encouraged him to pursue a career in music. He and Alex have worked together since 1990 and Thomas has been a member of The Orb since 1995.
