The Irresistible Force

DJ, musician, journalist, and self-described "international cheerleader of ambient," Mixmaster Morris has been one of the most active and visible proponents of new ambient and electronic music. As renowned for his inventive, wide-casting DJ sets as for his original works under the name Irresistible Force -- highlighted by 1993's Flying High -- Morris' influence on the direction of post-rave electronica has been enormous. From his relentless tour schedule, weekly playlists, and monthly release reviews to his extensive website chronicling the evolution of ambient and experimental electronic music, Morris has helped bring a whole range of otherwise obscure artists (from Terre Thaemlitz to Photek) to a wider audience. ~ Sean Cooper
