Dave Lee & John Morales – Mixed To The Maxx (Sampler) [2X12″ Vinyl]

Two of the most prolific remixers in the world of Disco, Dave Lee and John Morales have teamed up for one of their biggest projects to date – ‘Mixed To The Maxxx’ After gaining access from the legendary original artists these two highly esteemed producers take the multi-track tapes of many classic Disco, Funk & Soul tracks and re-work them… to the Maxxx! Here we are treated to a 12′ sampler of what is to come from the Album later this year.

First up, the Bass twanging floor filler version from Dave Lee of ‘The Brothers Johnson – The Real Thing’ which has already been causing a stir in his DJ sets of late, featuring lots of musical parts not audible in the original. Following up is Dave’s Friday Night Fever Mix of Philly legends ‘Bell & James – US chart hit ‘Livin’ It Up (Friday Night)’ where he beefs up and extends the original to re-step back out on the town, a masterclass in elevating something that is already great to start with. On the second 12′ we have John Morales taking on a biggie! Inner Life’s ‘Aint No Mountain High Enough’. Here John handles the prestigious parts with the respect due, re-shaping key moments in a new light and bringing the sonics up to par for modern dancefloors, an Anthem Mix indeed. To finish proceedings Morales takes on British Jazz-Funk band ‘Light Of The World’ with their mum loved classic ‘London Town’ bumping the tempo a touch and beefing up the funk. Tracklisting: A1.
