John Morales – The M&M Mixes (Review)

John Morales

The M&M Mixes

Released by BBE


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.

Lindstrom & Christabelle “Lovesick” x “Looking for What” (MP3)

Off Lindstrom & Christabelle’s upcoming album, Real Life is No Cool, come these two pop tracks. Hans-Peter Lindstrom is, to many, one of disco’s forerunners, and this partnership with friend and vocalist Christabelle Silje Isabelle Birgitta Sandoo grew out of her love for Lindstrom’s spacey tracks. Though the two have vastly different personalities (he is a structured family man, she is a spontaneous nomad), they’re been working together since 2001, and their musical tastes converge and mesh to create something that no one else has. Intimate and raw, the new album is out January 19 via Smalltown Supersound/Feedelity.
