  Deadly Medley mix by JOHN MORALES
  ...
  John Morales was born in the Bronx, New York. He is recognized worldwide as one of the early pioneers of Dance Mixing/Remixing,and producing beginning his career in 1975 as a local DJ in the Bronx.
  
  John has been involved in the creation of hit records for the better part of 30 years. Known in the industry as an innovator and chance taker, he has always welcomed the challenge of working with new artists and has never been afraid to try new and different ideas.
  
  The road to the top of the profession has been a long and steady climb for John. He honed his talents in an unlikely arena - as a disc jockey for the United States Air Force. "It was two hours a night," he recalls. "Your main job was to take their minds away from reality ...." After that grueling hitch, he returned to New York and a day job, mixing music at night in his homemade studio, pursuing his lifelong dream. John landed a gig at the Stardust Ballroom in the Bronx, spinning for "tops, $40-$50 a night, but you considered yourself lucky. Guys do it for nothing. In order to get some relief from his relentless work schedule (seven nights a week, 12-3pm., 7-1Opm., then 10pm-3am.), John began to mix his sounds on tape.

  John Morales is the Disco DJ who also became a legendary Mixer/Remixer in the eighties. John started playing records in his native Bronx, ending up playing in several of the Manhattan clubs. He started editing/remixing his favorite tracks to get himself longer versions to play at his gigs. He also experimented with editing medley's and much of his work ended up being pressed on acetates.
  ...
  I got this opportunity to interview John and here's his life - so far... ENJOY !
  
  John Morales was born in the Bronx, New York on April 14, 1954. And to straighten things out right away - John is not related to the David Morales of DefMix, even though he's asked this question all the time. John has always loved music and as he tells me himself; "My first taste of music was when I was about 12 or so.
  ...
  But I [Discoguy] had to ask John: Have you ever done something else? Or has music always been your life? "Well I've done music for most of my early adult life, it's what I wanted and loved to do, and I am grateful I had the opportunity to do it. Today, I'm in the Sports Collecting Business and have once again started to work on my music. Hopefully, to do something that I really enjoy and love, what I feel is in my blood."
  
  As told above John started out his musical career as a DJ, he fills in; "I started DJ'ing at home like most of us..
  ...
  One thing led to another and all of a sudden John was involved in mixing and remixing records as well. He soon became one of the first classic Remixers.
  ...
  John practically lived in the studio and he believes he has mixed/remixed and edited more records than most of the people back then. So how would he explain the difference between - mixing, remixing and editing?
  ...
  At the time that John was involved with us, I always felt that my work was in good hands. 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. The breaks and the unique equalization of bass and drums was for the dancer. The extended versions which built to a fever pitch was for the dancer. The sparse vocals, the swirling string and brass lines punching in and out; All was to make a recording as hot and enjoyable as possible for a dancer!!! 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.
  ...
  How much work have you done on your own (as John Morales) and how much was done together with Sergio as M&M?

  John follows up by adding; "Those are just a few of the ones I still listen too and brings a smile to my face.
  ...
  In 2006 John launch his own web-site - www.johnmoralesmix.com
