ABOUT OUR DJ’s : JOHN MORALES (NYC

John returns to Sydney after absolutely tearing the roof off our party in April 2012 and playing spots all over the world on the back of his killer new release.

M + M Mixes Vol III : NYC Underground Disco Anthems & Unreleased Edits out on BBE RECORDS

John has been involved in the creation of hit DISCO records for the better part of 30 years with over 1000 songs on his own, and as part of John Morales & Sergio Munzibai (M & M Productions). Known in the industry as an innovator and chance taker, John has always welcomed the challenge of working with new artists and can lay claim to being one of the originators of the extended mix, remix and re-edit concept.

Having worked, remixed or edited everyone from Marvin Gaye, Inner Life, Jocelyn Brown, Fantastic Aleems, Teddy Pendergrass, Harold Melvin, Evelyn Thomas, Fantastic Aleems, Brass Construction, War, Candi Staton, Loletta Holloway, First Choice, Salsoul Orchestra & Double Exposure just to name a few, expect John to give a FUNK & DISCO lesson covering 30+ years of the sound that shaped music as we know it today.

STEPHEN ALLKINS [LOVE-TATTOO]

‘New York had Larry Levan, Chicago had Ron Hardy, Sydney had Stephen Allkins..’

We are excited to be also be hosting a very rare afternoon set from Sydney’s own home legendary DJ & Producer Mr Stephen Allkins.

Being one of the true pioneers of dance music in Sydney & playing the the very first disco clubs & warehouse parties from 1978, it is safe to say that Stephen Allkins aka [love] tattoo could rightly claim the trademark of “Mr.Disco”, his extensive record collection & his infamous sets over the years and legacy is also a testament to that.

He first started DJing in the late 70′s and has inspired a whole generation of DJ’s through his infamous sets at warehouse parties, raves and clubs over the years and some absolutely blissful production as [Love-Tattoo]

Expect a very special journey through the disco, funk & early house sounds that matter from the original DJ’s DJ who has seen it and done it all.

Who will also be playing along our own Soul of Sydney DJ’s, Phil Toke, Shan Frenzie (Groove Therapy Radio – 2ser), Michael Zac & Eadie Ramia.

About the Artists. | Anya Brock: | Link –> http://anyabrock.com/

Whether her paintings illuminate an otherwise plain brick wall, or are travelling down the torrential river that is a social media news feed, the art of Anya Brock is unmistakable and striking. From her use of bold, expressive black lines, to the kaleidoscopic colour palette through which she sees the world, Anya’s paintings present an ecstatic and infectious energy everywhere they appear. They bring life.

Zebras brightly coloured beyond their own monochrome stripes, birds whose plumage bleeds together… these things that she so often returns to – images of girls crying tears of house paint – are Anya’s fingerprint as an artist. And although her work is most often described in visual terms, the closest form of expression to what she is doing is jazz, because her work is neither about the subject nor the observer… it is about the process.

A native of the fashion industry, Anya started and ran high-end label Anan for eight years, but it was after working in London for Christopher Kane and Richard Nicoll that she discovered her love of painting. Leaving London behind her, Anya returned to Perth in 2011 to fully immerse herself. As the immersion deepened, Anya’s work became more and more visible in her hometown, decorating some of the city’s most popular spots with bright and cheerful murals, and finding their way onto the walls of Subiaco and Fremantle art galleries; Anya’s trademark sexy-face girls becoming sought-after icons of bold and sexy femininity.

Making her New York debut as a winner of the 2012 Stoli ORGNLtv competition, Anya’s work began attracting international attention for its striking beauty, playfully contradictory titles and jazz-like use of geometry. Echoing her life through her work, oozing charm and sexuality through wave after wave of colour, Anya’s style has been instantly recognised by her peers as definitive, and is continuing to make ripples on the international market.

Anya relocated to Sydney’s Bondi in early 2013 where she continues to breathe life onto walls and canvas among the bustle of one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. As they did in her hometown, Anya’s sexy-face girls are now gracing the covers of Sydney’s Urban Walkabout guides… a fitting omen, and a fair sign that she has truly arrived. An artist in residence.

Alexandra Lederman

Artist from Sydney, Australia. Studying Art Theory at the College of Fine Arts.
New works emerged after tracing around the base of a glass onto a napkin and doodling subconsciously. Here my first ‘world’ was born. Since then, an addictive process developed, starting from my controlled circle(s), and extending out into geometric and often surreal imagery. Each end result is an unplanned map/world, showing captured moments of the subconscious.

The viewer is then free to read and interpret each image through their response to particular images and forms. Audience interpretation is an integral part of my art making practice.

    Soul of Sydney #57: JOHN MORALES’ trip through M+M Mixes Vol III (BBE Records)

    This compilation is John Morales third for BBE. Few can match his contributions to the world of Dance Music be it soul, funk, disco to today’s house music.

    John Morales is considered one of the true legends of the mix. And his work some thirty years later continues to be cutting edge and inspiring. Although familiar with John’s work – his epic mix of Universal Robot Bands boogie anthem “Barely Breakin Even” is the source from which BBE Records got its name.

    No attempt had ever been made to summarise the pinnacle of Johns work. This third release on BBE continues that history lesson that John has forged in dance music. He formed The M+M Mix with his late partner Sergio Munzibai, in 1982 till 1990 whose output of over 650 mixes will be unmatched today. John continues The M+M legacy.

    From the Rolling Stones to Gloria Estefan, The Temptations, Barry White, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Hall & Oates, Teena Marie, Aretha Franklin to BBE – we have all been molded by Johns everlasting mix influence, love for his work and his Music..

    This superb double vinyl presents some of John’s finest works, and takes the M+M Mix legacy to yet a higher level. This is the legacy of the M+M mixes.

    Check out the sneak peak of the hot new release here –>

    JOHN MORALES (NYC

    John returns to Sydney after absolutely tearing the roof off our party in April 2012 and playing spots all over the world on the back of his killer new release.

    M + M Mixes Vol III : NYC Underground Disco Anthems & Unreleased Edits out on BBE RECORDS

    John has been involved in the creation of hit DISCO records for the better part of 30 years with over 1000 songs on his own, and as part of John Morales & Sergio Munzibai (M & M Productions). Known in the industry as an innovator and chance taker, John has always welcomed the challenge of working with new artists and can lay claim to being one of the originators of the extended mix, remix and re-edit concept.

    Having worked, remixed or edited everyone from Marvin Gaye, Inner Life, Jocelyn Brown, Fantastic Aleems, Teddy Pendergrass, Harold Melvin, Evelyn Thomas, Fantastic Aleems, Brass Construction, War, Candi Staton, Loletta Holloway, First Choice, Salsoul Orchestra & Double Exposure just to name a few, expect John to give a FUNK & DISCO lesson covering 30+ years of the sound that shaped music as we know it today.

    STEPHEN ALLKINS [LOVE-TATTOO]

    ‘New York had Larry Levan, Chicago had Ron Hardy, Sydney had Stephen Allkins..’

    We are excited to be also be hosting a very rare afternoon set from Sydney’s own home legendary DJ & Producer Mr Stephen Allkins.

    Being one of the true pioneers of dance music in Sydney & playing the the very first disco clubs & warehouse parties from 1978, it is safe to say that Stephen Allkins aka [love] tattoo could rightly claim the trademark of “Mr.Disco”, his extensive record collection & his infamous sets over the years and legacy is also a testament to that.

    He first started DJing in the late 70′s and has inspired a whole generation of DJ’s through his infamous sets at warehouse parties, raves and clubs over the years and some absolutely blissful production as [Love-Tattoo]

    Expect a very special journey through the disco, funk & early house sounds that matter from the original DJ’s DJ who has seen it and done it all.

    Who will also be playing along our own Soul of Sydney DJ’s, Phil Toke, Shan Frenzie (Groove Therapy Radio – 2ser), Michael Zac & Eadie Ramia.

    JOHN MORALES

    In 1975 while working as a DJ in local Bronx club, John Morales realised that he wanted to lengthen the duration of some of his records. Back then the duration of most records was 3 to 4 minutes, so by using his TEAC 71/2 and a box of razor blades, John started splicing tape for endless hours and became one the first DJ’s to create the ‘extended mix’ (or ‘remix’ in it’s original form). In doing so, he realised that he could achieve a similar outcome by cutting, slicing and taping parts from different recordings. This formed the basis for his acclaimed (deadly) medleys. John says “I can still see the 100′s of edits zoom by every-time I play the tape”. John Morales started to release some of his reel to reel edits, medleys and remixes to Acetate via the Sunshine Sound (a NYC studio where DJ’s could bring their reel to reel tapes and have acetate copies cut one at a time), so that he could play these tracks at clubs. Greg Carmichael gave him his first mixing job after hearing some of his Sunshine Acetate mixes and these first two official mixes made him famous: ‘Dance and Shake Your Tambourine‘ by ‘The Universal Robot Band‘ and the classic ‘I’m Caught Up” by Inner Life. However some of his early mixes and edits, even those officially released, were and remain uncredited and so might not appear in his discography! John has worked for numerous acts and has been involved in the creation of over 500 songs – both on his own and as part of John Morales & Sergio Munzibai (M & M Productions). John Morales can lay claim to being one of the most important figures in the creation of the extended mix, remix and re-edit concept.

    Please Note: Our last 4 parties have completely sold out so be sure to lock in a spot on the dancefloor early for this special show.

new release:
ANGELS ARE WATCHING ME

Louie Vega Starring Bucie

Get your copy here

NEW YORK – Vega Records deftly cuts a path through the upper echelons of dance music with its latest production, Angels Are Watching Me, featuring Bucie, the beloved “Princess of House.” Something magical takes flight under Louie Vega’s watchful direction as the multi-talented, award-winning DJ/producer unleashes another supernova for the club set with this original arrangement and remix package. The stars came into alignment for a new release properly reflecting the meteoric rise of South African sensation Bucie on lead vocals here. Her presence illuminates every inch of this track, full of conviction and joy. Soulful House ambassador Josh Milan steps in and pens the uplifting lyrics behind Angels, while Vega’s curatorial ear diversifies a hot selection of mixes best suited for the track’s modern edge and smooth grooves. Sounding more like a gift from above, a collaborative triple threat in the studio promises to break some new ground and prove unstoppable on the dance floor. “The song was written by Josh Milan and he is a brilliant writer, produced by Louie Vega, The Legend. It meant so much to me to be on it because it has always been a dream of mine to work with such legends,” Bucie says of her experience on the project. “I approached it in an Afro-soulful way because of the message behind it and I know it is going to inspire a lot of people out there and I really wanted to do a great job.” Bucie (whose full name is Busisiwe Nolubablo Nqwiliso) promptly secured her place in underground dance culture via the sultry 2007 hit, Turn Me On, followed by what became an international club anthem, Superman, alongside South Africa’s revered DJ Black Coffee. Bringing flawless style and vibrancy, she continues to earn high praise and win over fans worldwide. Teaming with Vega Records on Angels builds the momentum. Make no mistake, Angels Roots Mix, the Dance Ritual Dub, Radio Edit and Vega Old School UN Mix are massive in their own right, each channeling classic bass lines, slick production and emotive chords very differently. Deep house and funky beats dominate the Old School UN Mix, taking you back to those warm, big room sounds of the 90s. An atmospheric intro quickly changes up on the Dance Ritual Dub, where you can almost envision Vega perfecting drum loops and spacious piano riffs to complement Bucie’s pitch perfect range. The Radio Edit and Roots Mix equally satisfy with more than enough soul to make anyone a true believer in the spirit of House.
