If you grew up in the ‘80s and had even the smallest of passing interest in music, particularly club music, chances are you were very familiar, albeit unwittingly, with the work of John Morales. On the radio, in the record racks and most importantly on the dancefloor John’s work helped define an era and influence future generations of DJs, producers and artists.
The new double CD, "The M&M Mixes", is a history lesson in dance music and presents some of John's finest works. John Morales 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 John’s everlasting influence.
Discography
CD 1 of classic boogie, cult favorites and unreleased demo mixes while CD 2 showcases - for the first time - previously unreleased mixes of gems from the legendary Salsoul catalogue from anthems like Ain't Mountain High Enough to underground faves Funk Deluxe.
