mrTimothy has been rocking clubs, radio and the net with tunes for years. Started out soulful and smooth and has progressed through a few styles and across a few boundaries to make a mark in Electro Funk, Electro, Tuff House, Commercial and Progressive House. The musical results have flowed in from all over the world with releases on Ministry Of Sound (Australia, UK, South Africa & Europe) Tommy Boy, All Around The World, Rise, DIY and direct signings on Subliminal. Chart action speaks volumes when releasing records and repeated top 10 spots in the Billboard Dance chart (USA), long term Radio Chart success in Europe and locally many #1 and
countless top 10 ARIA releases and remixes are probably speaking loud enough. The latest release soon to be dropped on Ministry Of Sound “Thump” has already gained support of many of the tastemaker DJs and is set to be another weapon for mrT.

The best thing about making music is being able to put it in your DJ bag and go play it in clubs. mrT’s DJ sets have been littered with many of his own releases and remixes and supported by many new and upfront tracks with a creative use of acapellas and other tricks to bring the vibe as high as it can get. Reading a crowd is important and knowing when to drop a key acapella can make the difference between playing lots of cool records that the crowd doesn’t know and entertaining them while educating them, a part of mrT’s DJ sets he enjoys the most. Coming from early DJ roots, being versatile has always been a factor for mrT, never wants to leave a room feeling like the DJ played a selfish set with out feeling the crowds vibe, always pushing to educate but entertain is the most important factor of his sets.

Travelling has been great for mrT, USA, Europe and Asia are all spots he hits and he loves playing to different markets and spreading his sound.. he also doesn’t mind a party!

Electronic music as a genre has a tendency to move forward on the crest of whatever wave is publicly deemed fashionable in that minute. As the majority busy themselves with falling into line behind those occupying the top spots in DJ magazines hottest 100, it can be difficult to predict with certainty the next big thing. Very occasionally the changing of the guard brings about the exciting introduction of a talent whose approach is altogether different than those currently occupying the spotlight. Jean-Paul is one of these talents.

His daytime vocation allows him to keep a finger on the pulse of the movers and shakers within the scene whilst providing him rare insight into who will be the next big thing. This constantly changing landscape takes shape daily on screen in his role as graphic artist for the southern hemisphere’s largest electronic music event promoter Future Entertainment and its diversity is evidenced in his music selection and his desire to keep pushing forward. But what is genuinely unique about this individual is that this desire is balanced against a need to connect with the dance floor and infuse it with an unmistakable funk driven element that you’ll agree is undeniably a sound he owns should you have the pleasure.

If booking requests and articles in electronic and print media are a measure of an artists rise to prominence, then the last six months have been a revelation for Jean-Paul. With residencies at one of the countries biggest clubs “The Bedroom” in the Gold Coast, numerous regional gigs and weeklies scattered amongst the more discerning venues in Melbourne, it’s safe to say the word is out.

With production ear marked as the top priority over the next 6 months, the logical progression from spinning to sculpting is inevitable. What will differentiate this journey from similar undertakings by those that have come before him is the knowledge that it will be embarked upon by somebody whose outlook is as fresh as his approach. And to top it all off, his skill set backs it in a truly symbiotic fashion.

There is nothing more satisfying for Gerry Morales than playing and listening to beautiful, beautiful house music! And to be able to make a living from this passion, a true blessing that he is more than grateful for. Happy days!

Gerry has undoubtedly become one of the Gold Coast's most popular, well recognized and respected DJ's. Gerry has based himself with his very enviable weekly residency at The Bedroom Nightclub in Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, his weekly live to air broadcast on South East Queensland's most popular community radio station, 105.7 Radio Metro, broadcast live from The Temple Lounge Bar, also in Surfers Paradise, plus guest spots in Brisbane (the GPO), Cairns (The Velvet Underground), Port Douglas (Fluid Nightclub) and Melbourne (Localism).

Gerry is also the founding resident at the Gold Coast's most popular lounge bar, ALTO Cucina and Bar in Broadbeach, where he has been the musical director since its inseption in 2004, playing his unique brand of laidback funk house eash week. But his funky house talents did not go un noticed, as to date, he has played every single lounge bar in Broadbeach, the only DJ to do so on the coast. These include, ALTO, Watergate, Element, Boheme, Lauxes and Opium. With his profile ever growing in Broadbeach, Gerry and his business partner, Giv (Elsewhere nightclub resident) began a very successful club night at the Gold Coasts largest nightclub, The Quest, called "VERSUS". Each month Gerry and Giv would books top level national and local djs to play at their Versus club nights where they were also responsible for the artwork, the promotion distribution, themeing, printing, radio advertisment production, hotel and accomodation and transfers for their artists and running of the night as well as playing on the night to top it all off! The club night ran for a full 12 months.
As if Gerry had any spare time on his hands, Gerry entered into a business agreement with his aforementioned business partner Giv and opened the Gold Coast's only record Store, Toomba Records, where none other than French house legends, CASSIUS where on hand as special guests at their opening night. For the next four years, Toomba Records became the Gold Coast's home for all local and regional djs looking to get their hands on the latest sounds from around the globe. Gerry managed the day to day operation of the shop where he was fortunate enough to form strong friendships with just about every dj on the Gold Coast while Giv managed the paperwork (the borring stuff!). Toomba Records became the focal point of every nightclubs promtional material, where clubs would fight for their posters to be placed in the shops prime positions, which demonstrated the value placed on Toomba Records shop front by every nightclub on the Gold Coast, and right in the middle of it all was Gerry and Giv, with big smiles on their faces!

Sadly though, the building housing Toomba Records has since been demolished to make way for yet another sky scraper on the Gold Coast skyline, and in doing so has taken Gerry's beloved Toomba Records with it, the only record store on the Gold Coast, but more than just a record store, it was a meeting place for all djs and people with musical interest to hang out and meet others in the same circle and to find out what was going on in and around the coast's nightclub scene. The vibe and atmosphere Toomba Records had in terms of a weekly gathering of friends within the industry will never again happen on the coast, as in this modern age, music is bought from a pc and long gone are the days of flicking through a crate of records and chatting to the guy behind the counter (usually Gerry) or next you about the sick record you found last week....id better stop or ill cry all night!!

anyway...you cant stop modernisation so why bitch about it!! Toomba Records, RIP 2007
Gerry has been invited to play many guest spots throughout Queensland (not to mention the hundreds of backyard shindigs!)including Elsewhere Nightclub Indy 2005 (winner of "Best Music Offering in Aust" Bartender magazine 2007), SoBar, GPO Brisbane, The Ambassee, Ruby Tramp, Fluid, Velvet Underground just to name a few and has made the treck south to The Metro and Motel in Melbounre and Electric Circus in Adelaide.
Along with the numerous guest spots here and there, Gerry has also be invited to play an odd little gathering of electronic music lovers, a little festival by the name of SUMMAFIELDAYZE! Gerry has played Australia's largest and most respected music festival in 2005 and 2008 as well as other outdoor doof doofs such as Oceans 30, ODDESSY 08 New Years Eve Party at Dreamworld and INDY Fest 2007 where he closed the festival after a very loud and energetic GOOD CHARLOTTE set and Gerry's favourite, The Official Ralph Magazine Indy Party 2007 as well as the most recent addition to the music festival calender, the CLIMATE MUSIC Festival in Brisbane. Playing in your native state or country is one thing, but spreading your wings and playing on the other side of the planet is another, a dream which came true for Gerry last year when he played over in South America, which is quickly becoming a new haven for the undergound music culture. Gerry was fortunate enough to play in Buenos Aires, Argetina, Lima, Peru and his favourite of the tour Cuzcu, Peru, some 3800 metres above sea level, deep in the Peruvian Andes! This year Gerry is Jetsetting off once again in May/June to drop his trademake sounds in the UK and The Netherlands.

And it is this saying that guides Gerry in his music, as well as analyzing the ambience, crowd, environment, venue and music policy, Gerry strictly only plays "good" music, weather its bumpin funky house on his weekly radio show, or grinding electro for the main set on his saturday night residency or ultra "cool" electronica for his closing sets or the odd remix or bootleg, one things for sure, no shit music will be dropped by this man. He is strict, and i mean strict on this, a self impossed shit music ban!
And the dancefloor loves him for it! The proof is in the pudding, his weekly residency at the Bedroom Nightclub can boast to being the busiest nights on the Gold Coast clubbing scene. This residency has put Gerry alongside the worlds most tallented and famous dj's and producers, the who's who of the dj fraternity so to speak, where he has supported them on their tours.

Gerry's other main musical outlet, other than his club sets, is his weekly radio show, which is broadcast live on South East Queensland's most popular community radio station, 105.7 Radio Metro, which is the regions only dedicated dance music/cultre radio station. Gerry named the show "The Sunday Surmon" as it is on the holiest of days of the week and Gerry has been known to preach and spread the word of the salvation within funky house music! It is also broadcast worldwide via his website www.djgerrymorales.com and on www.radiometro.com.au. Gerry has impossed a strict funky house music only policy for The Sunday Surmon, no electro anywhere, as just like Gerry and his club sets, he likes to offer something different other than what every other Tom, Dick and Harry is playing, setting him appart from his competition.

Gerry Would like to thank all the people who has been kind and generous to him on his journey so far with special thanks to Craig and Ryan who gave a nobody a chance and believed. Thank you.
