Background check:
Producer/musician Adam Dorn knows what he's talking about. The son of producer Joel Dorn, famous for working with the likes of John Coltrane and Charles Mingus, Adam grew up hanging around with Miles Davis and learning the trade alongside his prominent father. Now, under the moniker Mocean Worker (and yes that's pronounced motion, in case you were wondering) Adam Dorn has secured his own place in jazz and electronic circles with several well received albums and a ton of collaborations.
His career began in the late 90's after several semi-serious recordings became the debut LP Home Movies From the Brain Forest. Mocean Worker became a sought after name in the underground drum and bass circles. Soon after Dorn, a bassist at heart, found a dark jazz edge that only increased with time. Now Mocean Worker is making music his grandfather potentially listened to. Heavily influenced by big band and swing music, Mocean Worker's latest album, Cinco De Mowo, sounds like jazz from the 30's merged with varying degrees of Latin and funk medleys.
Ever moving away from the mainstream electronic music he began with, Mocean Worker still surprises, as with the recent single, "That One" a send up of the 2008 presidential election focusing on Obama and McCain's often ridiculous debate diatribes. Unlike his recent jazz subtleties, "That One" proves that Mocean Worker is still about experimentation and whimsical ambitions.
