Alex M.O.R.P.H. early years

Early Years: 1994 to 2006

Alex M.O.R.P.H.’s first forays into music production were as part of Arc In The Sky in 1994 (‘Dex Shalini’) and again in 1996 as Alex M.O.R.P.H. (‘Paysages’). But apart from a sole remix in 1997 (‘Rock The Disco’) these were isolated outings and he spent the rest of the decade honing his style and production techniques.

Alex M.O.R.P.H. returned with a series of releases on Clubbgroove Records between 2000 and 2003 which gave him a foothold in the European trance scene. With these releases, such as ‘Supernova’ and ‘Sound World’, M.O.R.P.H. had already established the melodic but driving and uplifting trance style and sound which he would build his career and reputation upon.

In 2003 he moved to German trance label Fenology Records where he released a number of tracks including ‘Unification’, a collaboration with trance heavyweight Armin van Buuren. He also released a collaboration with Rüdi Dittmann entitled ‘Scirocco’ under an alias of the same name.

In 2004 Alex M.O.R.P.H. teamed up again with the Stoneface and Terminal team (Henry Nix and Matthias Gierth) with whom he had worked with for the first Arc In The Sky release in 1994.

By 2006 M.O.R.P.H. was beginning to work closely with his friend and manager Woody van Eyden, both remixing and back-to-back DJ sets. The pair released a mix compilation for Fenology in 2006 ‘Fenology Russian Sessions: Volume One’.

Later Years: 2007 to Present

By 2007 Alex M.O.R.P.H.’s career began to accelerate. His collaboration with Rank 1 (‘Life Less Ordinary’) proved to be one of his most popular releases to date and ironically was the few that broke away from his trademark sound. Though still clearly trance ‘Life Less Ordinary’ is more thoughtful and progressive than many other Alex M.O.R.P.H. productions.

Also in 2007, with Woody van Eyden, M.O.R.P.H. remixed Armin van Buuren’s collaboration with DJ Shah ‘Going Wrong’.

In 2008 M.O.R.P.H. signed to German trance stalwart Paul van Dyk’s Vandit label where he released his most successful tracks to date, including ‘Walk The Edge’ and ‘Photograph’.

In 2009 he released his first studio album ‘Purple Audio’ and followed this in 2010 with ‘Purple Audio Reloaded’ featuring remixes of the original

 

Though his global profile is not as big as that of the likes of Armin van Buuren and Paul van Dyk, Alex M.O.R.P.H. is a key part of the contemporary trance scene and is a sought after remixer. Whilst many other trance DJs and producers have embraced more progressive or electro influenced sounds M.O.R.P.H. has remained true to his mainstream trance style. Though this means his productions lack the variety of some of his contemporaries it has helped him build a dedicated following.

Alex M.O.R.P.H. frequently changes his appearance, most notably by dying the colour of his beard, including the colour purple. His friend Woody van Eyden is also his manager and remix partner.
