DT917 - David Morales - Data Transmission

Dust off your dancing shoes and grab something cold, because the legend David Morales is back on the podcast and it’s a big one. Think chunky grooves, soulful vocals, and that unmistakable swagger only Morales can deliver. This one’s strictly for heads who know.

A Grammy-winning powerhouse and certified don of the global house scene, Morales has been schooling dancefloors since the Paradise Garage days. From remixing Mariah and Madonna to storming Traxsource charts with his recent album Life Is a Song, the man’s got more club history than most labels combined. And guess what? He’s not slowing down.

Fresh off his Sunday Mass sessions and a white-hot run of gigs from Hi Ibiza to the Hacienda Warehouse Project, Morales is still showing the young guns how it’s done. His label DIRIDIM is pumping out weapons left and right, including his own bombs like Celebrate, Make It Right, and Do You Believe.

The vibe? House with heart. Rolling basslines, classic piano stabs, uplifting vocals, and grooves so deep they belong in a basement with no phone signal. From rooftop sessions to late-night boat parties in NYC, Morales keeps the pulse of proper house music alive and kicking.

This mix is peak-time energy and after-hours soul all rolled into one. Expect new heat, nods to the old school, and enough swing to keep your feet busy till sunrise.

Listen up, podcast 917 is live now and it bangs.

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
