€10 on the door/€8 advance tickets
A man who learnt his trade under Stateside legends like Tony Humphries and Tee Scott before going on to work with the Basement Boys production team in New Jersey, Maurice Fulton has been in the production and dj-ing game for over 20 years now. Having made his European Dj debut in 1990, he went on tobreak through to the mainstream when he co-produced Crystal Waters' worldwide hit 'Gypsy Woman( La Da Dee)' in 1992.
Over the years he has recorded or remixed for a 'who's who' of underground labels – from Warp, Wave and Classic to Output, Compost, Balihu and his current home, Tirk Records. The London based label is also home to New Young Pony Club, Greg Wilson, Idjut Boys and Andy Cato of Groove Armada's 'SugarDaddy' project.
His DJ sets are as broad in range as his production credits, zigzagging smoothly between soul,funk, disco, electroboogie, italo, party classics, house and future dancefloors sounds.
A regular at world renowned clubs like London's Fabric and Manchester's sadly defunct Electric Chair, his productions have been included on compilations by the diverse likes of 2 Many Dj's, Unabombers, Idjut Boys, Trevor Jackson and Four Tet, and has turned in mixes for the likes of Hot Chip, Alice Smith and Crazy P.
Recent projects of note include a full length LP for DFA under the Syclops moniker and an amazing remix of Simian Mobile Disco's recent release, 'Cruel Intentions'.
