The M+M Mixes Vol. 2 | John Morales (Coming March 29th, 2011)
Various Artists Coming March 29th, 2011
“The original process of ‘re-mixing records’ was intended to provide an
alternative listening experience which had been optimized for people who
went out to dance at Discos. John was one of the early pioneers who
loved music, understood his craft and HAD RESPECT FOR THE CREATIVE WORK
from which his mixes were derived”
Patrick Adams – Super Producer.
Writer of over 30 Gold and Platinum records and back to back winner of
ASCAP Songwriter of the year award 1996/1997.
This compilation
is his second for BBE. Few can match John Morales contribution to the
world of the enthusiast turned remixer come producer. John Morales is
considered one of true legends of the mix. And his work some thirty
years later continues to be cutting wedge and inspiring. Although
familiar with John’s work – his epic mix of Universal Robot Bands boogie
anthem is the source from which BBE Records got its name – No attempt
had been made to summarise the ! pinnacle of Johns work. This second
release is continued history lesson in dance music. He formed with the
late Sergio Munzibai, M+M productions whose output of over 650 mixes
will be unmatched by many celebrity big name remixers of today. From the
Rolling Stones to Gloria Estefan, The Temptations to Hall and Oates,
Aretha Franklin to BBE – we have all been moulded by Johns everlasting
influence.
This superb double CD presents some of John’s finest
works. 1 CD of classic boogie, cult favourites featuring Johns 1st
credited mix of Inner Life’s “Caught Up In A One Night Love Affair”
whilst CD 2 showcases for the first time previously unreleased mixes of
gems from the legendary Salsoul catalogue from anthems like “My Love is
Free” to the underground Cult hit Jocelyn Brown’s “Make It Last
Forever”.
This is the legacy of the M+M mixes.
