Andy Moor (born 16 January 1980) is an English DJ, trance Producer and remixer. He has used multiple aliases in the past (Dub Disorder, Dwight van Man, Sworn) And has been part of a multidude of iconic acts, such as ‘Tilt’, ‘Whiteroom’, 'Leama & Moor’, Zoo DJ's and remixed tracks for other artists, including Paul Oakenfold, Brian Eno, Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Britney Spears and Arthur Baker, among others.
Moor’s name is firmly cemented as one of the most highly respected in the electronic dance music industry, proven by a career studded with numerous accolades including a Grammy Award nomination in December 2007, for his remix of Canadian artist Delerium with "Angelicus" featuring vocals from Isabel Bayrakdarian, ‘Best Dance Record,’ at the 2006 International Dance Music Awards at the Winter Music Conference in Miami and, ‘Best Trance Producer’ and ‘Best Trance Track’ at the ‘Trance Awards’" in 2004, persistently high rankings on the DJ Mag Top 100 and a vast and loyal following.
Andy Moor holds a reputation of being one of the most ground-breaking and definitive artists in the genre and has succeeded in crafting his own signature sound. Moor pioneered several production techniques early in his career such as vocal chops and syncopated bass lines- techniques previously unheard of, but now commonly found within trance music. The iconic Andy Moor sound is one of the most distinct and recognizable in the scene and can best be described as finely tuned, beautiful melodic soundscapes floating above prominent, clever bass lines. Moor is best known for his own style of progressive trance, but to confine him to only one genre is a great injustice to his skill as a producer. For fifteen years, Moor has remained on the forefront of a rapidly evolving music scene. His style has evolved and proven to be multi-dimensional throughout his lengthy career, but he has always continued to produce with total integrity, creating music as a trance music fan for trance music fans.
