2 huge talents from the US soulful dance family come together for the first time as legendary producer, David Morales, and revered singer / songwriter, Joi Cardwell, unite on ‘Plastic Feelings.’ Primed with a poignant message and a heartfelt vocal from Joi who reflects on current challenging times, ‘Plastic Feelings’ comes with a soulful soundtrack from David, peppered with emotive pianos and a sublime key solo that perfectly compliment the melancholy sentiment of this meaningful song.

David Morales is a globally revered American DJ, Grammy award-winning record producer, songwriter, and is a true House Music legend. He has produced and remixed over 1000+ records for an all-star roster of multi-platinum artists, including Mariah Carey, U2, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Madonna, and Whitney Houston. Launched in 2018, David Morales’ DIRIDIM label beams quality house music. Aside of David’s own productions and collaborations, DIRIDIM also features releases from Róisín Murphy, DJ Meme, Jason Walker, Blakkat, Danism & Train, Buranello, Timmy Regisford, Michel Cleis, Emiliano Pepe, Janice Robinson, Frankie Ferrara, James Deron and more.

Acclaimed US singer / songwriter Joi Cardwell has made a huge contribution to the world of both Jazz and Dance music over the years. She’s released smash hit Billboard No.1’s such as the classics ‘Club Lonely’ and ‘Saved My Life’, back in 1992 with house legend Lil Louis, through to countless solo productions and collaborations with the likes of Blaze, Honey Dijon, Junior Vasquez, Groove Junkies, Studio Apartment, Namy, Kraak & Smaak and many more.
