Page "Mixmaster Morris" Paragraph 1

Morris Gould was born in Brighton, Sussex, England, but grew up in Lincolnshire and was educated at Millfield in Somerset, and King's College London.

At 15 he founded a punk rock band, The Ripchords, whose sole release, an eponymous EP with four tracks, was championed by the BBC Radio One DJ John Peel.

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, Morris began releasing material as Irresistible Force in 1987, initially in collaboration with singer-songwriter Des de Moor.

He became involved with the emerging UK acid house scene, after organizing Madhouse at The Fridge, Brixton in 1988-which was the subject of a piece by Peel in The Observer.
