Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra - Step Into My Life (John Morales M&M Mixes) [2015]
1. Step Into My Life (M&M Main Mix by John Morales)
2. Step Into My Life (M&M Dub Mix by John Morales)
Taken from the second instalment of the Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra. ‘Step Into My Life’ sees the elite of Brazil’s jazz, funk and samba musicians come together in a scorching disco blaze. Brought to light by the deft touch of NYC disco king John Morales, who channels the joyous hedonism synonymous with the late 70’s Paradise Garage and Studio 54 era to create two tight, punchy and dubbed-out floor fillers. Morales himself is a veteran of that era, alongside the pioneering likes of Larry Levan, Francois K and Tom Moulton, a key player in the development of the remix and its wider proliferation in clubs across the globe. Using a classic cut and paste technique with reel to reel tapes, Morales helped transform classics by the likes of Jocelyn Brown, Class Action and Shalamar, extending disco gems to nearly double their running time, emphasising and intensifying their emotion and drama in the process. His certified disco credentials make Morales the perfect man for the job of remixing this alternately classic and modern disco cut, marrying dance music’s past and future in a thrilling blend while simultaneously bringing the supreme musicianship and beautiful arrangements of Bertrami and Verocai to the fore. A future classic Brazilian disco masterpiece!
