Andre Elektro Morales: A Life Spun in Vinyl and Passion

Andre Elektro Morales has lived and breathed electronic music his entire life. With vinyl in hand and passion in his heart, he honors the pioneers of the genre while spinning the future of sound creating mixes that are as much a journey through history as they are a celebration of innovation.

🎹 Growing Up in a Musical Household

Andre’s story begins in Charleston, South Carolina, but his life with music truly took root in Frankfurt, Germany - a city that became the soundtrack of his childhood.

Both of his parents were DJs, filling the house with rhythm, sound, and the stories behind every record. His father, Randy Morales, a respected figure in Frankfurt and New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen scene, introduced him to electronic pioneers such as Kraftwerk, Nucleus, Soul Sonic Force, Kurtis Blow, and PAC Jam.

Those early influences shaped Andre’s musical sensibilities — giving him a deep appreciation for both the roots and evolution of electronic music.

🌍 The Crete Catalyst

A family move to the island of Crete marked a turning point. Watching his father perform at a local discotheque, young Andre saw firsthand how music could transform energy into emotion.

At just 13 years old, he started practicing on turntables under his father’s guidance. From that moment, vinyl wasn’t just a medium - it was a calling.

Even today, after mastering digital decks, he remains devoted to vinyl DJing, keeping the warm analog feel alive in every set.

🎚️ Finding His Groove in Tampa

By the time Andre relocated to Tampa, Florida, his foundation was rock solid but his story was still unfolding.

In 1999, he joined the legendary Painted Puppy Records, where he learned from Florida breakbeat legend Rick West, and received mentorship from B-Nice (Funklab) and Adam Grow (Ohverclock / CHP Recordings Ltd).

By 18, Andre was performing alongside some of the biggest names in the scene — DJ Icey, DJ Fixx, RFresh, and DJ Magic Mike proving his ability to command any crowd with both precision and passion.

🚀 At the Helm of ElektroGlobal

Andre’s drive for innovation led him to launch ElektroGlobal, a platform dedicated to curating and showcasing diverse electro, breakbeat, and experimental sounds.

His signature series, Global Sessions with Andre Morales, takes listeners on a genre-blending ride fusing breakbeat, electro, even dubstep and vinyl classics into seamless, story-driven sets.

Every mix is a journey through rhythm, memory, and motion the kind of energy that keeps electronic music culture alive.

🌐 Career Highlights & Recognition

🎵 A defining milestone: a guest mix for the late Annie Nightingale on BBC Radio 1 one of the most respected voices in global electronic music.

This performance wasn’t just a personal honor, it was a nod to the generations of DJs who came before him.

But beyond the stages and accolades, Andre’s mission remains simple:

“To connect hearts through frequencies — to move people both physically and emotionally.”
