Glenn Morrison
Jun 30, 2013
Multi-talented, multi-tasking, focused and ambitious, Glenn Morrison is the archetype of the modern DJ/producer star. The 25-year-old Toronto native is as happy rocking an underground house party as he is performing at an exclusive oceanic rooftop venue; as adept at composing an international club anthem like 'Contact' as he is at concocting a creepy ambient soundtrack for a Nintendo game.
His name alone gets 850,000 social networking and Internet hits a month. His productions have featured on 700 compilations in the last three years. He has enjoyed the support of DJs as varied as Armin Van Buuren and Richie Hawtin, David Guetta and Luciano. For three years he was resident at the world's best club, Ibiza's Amnesia Club. His label Morrison Recordings has put out 95 releases, his podcast series gets 12,000 downloads a month, and he's remixed Queen, the Pet Shop Boys and the B52s.In short, Glenn Morrison is one of the most dynamic and accomplished talents in electronic music today. Period.
And as a classical pianist, the move into production came naturally. He worked with fellow Canadian producer Deadmau5, then struck out alone. Everything changed in 2007 with the release of his hit 'Contact', an emotional, yet minimal trance record with shivers of delicious melody and a crisp, funky beat that left no dance-floor unturned. Tiësto put it on a compilation and it shot to the top of the World Dance Charts.
Glenn Morrison has just released his new single "Goodbye." Featuring the gorgeous vocals of Islove, this song is sexy, emotional progressive pop, just in time for summer.
