Mocean Worker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mocean Worker (pronounced like "motion worker"), also called MoWo, is a one-person electronic music DJ group consisting of Adam Dorn, the son of famous jazz and R'n'B producer Joel Dorn. Since the release of his first album, 'Home Movies from the Brain Forest', the style has varied from a drum 'n' bass sound to a jazz-oriented dance sound, incorporating elements of funk, big-band and swing.
Dorn currently resides in New York, and has recently finished his latest album, Cinco de Mowo (a parody of the Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo). Reviews of this album have been almost solely positive, with most citing it as Dorn's best work to date.
