With The M&M Mixes pioneer Bronx DJ/producer John Morales (along with the late Sergio Munzibai) has dug through his collection of unreleased NYC underground disco anthems and proves to be more like a history lesson in the era of house music in its infancy. Morales, along with Munzibai, were the go-to team for remixes back in the day, having mixed hundreds of disco records stretching three-minute singles into twelve-minute epics all with the proper drops and breakdowns paving the way for remixers and super-producers in this age. In the past, Morales has claimed his fame by remixing some of the biggest hits during the late ’70s early ’80s, including “Axel F,” “Rhythm of the Night,” and “Dr. Beat,” all providing an alternative listening experience giving fellow partygoers a reason to gyrate their asses at the discotechs.

While The M&M Mixes doesn’t include any of the aforementioned mixes, the double album is filled with three hours of classic boogie (Universal Robot Band’s “Barely Breaking Even” to Logg’s “Lay It On the Line”), cult favorites (Ronnie Dyson’s “All Over Your Face”) and unreleased material (”Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” to instant Funk’s “No Stoppin’ That Rockin”) that showcase some of his finest and most influential jams with the most credible artists of its time. The M&M Mixes is a very essential compilation for those interested in the history of house, no-house/underground disco, and even nu-disco aficionados shouldn’t be without this collection.
