Love & Disco: Maurice Fulton

Think soulful vocals supported by groovy disco-esque bass lines morphed into thick, funky house melodies and productions with a blend of garage, techno, jazz, and boogie. Think Maurice Fulton. Known around the world for his inventive “weird house and arty disco” productions, his name is often associated with the likes of Frankie Knuckles, Derrick May, and Carl Craig. It is no surprise that his work is regarded as key to the growth of house music worldwide. A veteran and artist true to the old school tradition, he is one of those DJs who prefers to be heard and not seen. One only expects what is organic, innovative, and yet true to the roots of house when it comes to an experience with Maurice Fulton, and we invite you along to experience this with us.

Maurice Fulton is a house producer married to pop singer Mu.

He is one of house music’s true originals, an eccentric ex-pat American (currently living in Melbourne) DJ and producer who never fails to surprise and delight his listeners. His first album since the leftfield Stories Of A Broken Heart And Recovering which he recorded as Ladyvipb (for Nuphonic) is an altogether more accessible and dancefloor friendly affair...

Maurice Fulton has been round the block in more ways than one, not only did he have a hand in producing Gypsy Woman by Crystal Waters, one of the most successful house tunes of the early ‘90s; he is the darling of both the underground house and leftfield scenes with an enviable back catalogue, he also has a capacity for landing himself ‘in the soup’. Maurice is one of those hapless individuals to which trouble swarms like wasps to a honey pot.

His most recent ‘situation’ saw him arrive home to find his record collection had been sold by his jealous girlfriend who, after discovering an unsolicited e-mail from a lady fan, suspected him of playing away from home. If it’s going to happen to someone, it’s going to happen to Maurice Fulton.
