About John Morales
John Morales was born in the Bronx, New York and has been involved in the creation of hit records for the better part of almost 35 years, playing at many NY clubs in the 1970s and 80s. John ventured into the studio more through need than necessity, making medleys and remixes because the records in those days were too short. His now infamous ‘Deadly Medleys’ and ‘Sunshine Acetate Medleys’ brought him to the attention of New York disco producers Greg Carmichael and Patrick Adams who were impressed by the hunger and desire of the self-taught engineer.

A meeting at New York’s influential WBLS radio station, where Cuban-born Sergio Munzibai worked as musical director alongside Frankie Crocker (and later at Motown Records), would signal the next chapter in Morales’ career, resulting in the most prolific remix partnership in the 1980s and 90s.

Just about every major artist of the day was in some way retouched by the hands of Morales and Munzibai.
