Mixmaster Morris

Morris Gould the Mixmaster blossomed out of the London pirate-radio scene in the 80s. He began to take hold on the discipline creating a ONE TRICK PONY that did it all via loops beats and samples...culminating in audio soundscapes designed to induce dreamy hypnotic almost narcotic states for the listener. He started working as the Rhythm Method but in '85 adopted the Irresitible Force name when he began collaborating with Des De Moor.
