Boy 8-Bit aka David Morris made his first steps onto the dance scene when Dj Touche included his track ‘The Colonel’ in his Radio One essential mix in 2004. He was then offered the chance to remix Touche’s seminal track ‘The Paddle’ for Southern Fried Records, along with other high profile tracks such as Dave Clarke and Arthur Baker’s ’ This Feelin’ – which was supported by Radio One’s Essential Selection and Armand Van Heldens ’ When The Lights go Down’ which recieved plays from Radio One’s Annie Mac.

In 2004 he also released his first single for Touche’s new Body Clap label. The track was his ode to the Commodore 64 of his child hood ‘Turbo Loader’ and this was followed in 2005 by his melodic bassline roller ‘Long Jeanne Silver’ which was described by IDJ magazine as a “Awesome Electronic Masterpiece” and given top marks with five stars out of five.
