Disc jockey and record producer

George Morel (born 20 September 1967 in New York) is a DJ and record producer. He is considered "one of the central figures in the early-'90s New York garage/house scene".[1]

## Life and career[edit]

Morel is of Puerto Rican descent.[1] His DJ career began in the New York clubs Red Zone, Palladium, Traxs and Save the Robots.[citation needed]

His record producing career started in 1989, when he co-wrote and co-produced Dee Halloway's single "Our Love Is Over" together with David Cole. In 1990, he co-wrote and co-produced 2 in a Room's single "Wiggle It", reaching number one on the US Billboard Dance chart.

In 1992, Morel became the A&R vice president of Strictly Rhythm records.[citation needed] Most of his productions during the 1990s were released on that label, among them a series of eleven 12" records called Morel's Grooves from 1992 to 1997, "each 12" showcasing his Latin house sound and being quite popular and influential".[1]

His chart hits include "Officer Where's Your Brother? (Get Her)" in 1995 (US Dance #17[2]) and "Let's Groove" in 1993 (US Dance #33[3] and UK #42[4]).
