Mocean Worker (pronounced "motion worker") is the recording alias of jazz musician and producer Adam Dorn.
Philadelphia native Dorn, son of jazz and R'n'B producer Joel Dorn, studied at Berklee College of Music. He adopted the Mocean Worker moniker as a DJ of drum 'n' bass music, and his style evolved to include Electro-Swing, funk, big-band, and swing elements. Dorn has led bands, given high-profile performances, and had his music used extensively in TV, advertising, and film. In 2014, Dorn and Charlie Hunter launched the podcast "Compared To What" and released an album titled It's Pronounced Motion... in Japan.
