DESCRIPTION:
2 Releases from 1983 & 1985 - Vocal Funk, Soul, Boogie & Disco Cuts Updated By Jon Morales - Quantize Recordings proudly present a special 12-inch release from the master John Morales, as he remakes two of Curtis Hairston’s biggest tracks ‘I Want Your Lovin’ and ‘I Want You All Tonight’, to bring that mid ‘80s brilliance to the modern dancefloor.

Master of the boogie sound, Hairston had many a hit both as a solo artist and as part of the legendary BB&Q Band. Mid-tempo groovers, laced with funk-fuelled basslines, cosmic synths and strutting guitars, tied together with Hairston’s luscious vocals, ‘I Want Your Lovin’ and ‘I Want You All Tonight’ are shining examples of boogie at it’s best.

Fast forward to 2023 and the masterful John Morales, who originally mixed ‘I Want You (All Tonight)’ alongside Sergio Munzibai, unlocks the vaults to the multitracks, creating four brand new mixes. Teaming up with one of the original writers and producer of both tracks Greg Radford to replay and reconstruct elements that have been lost over time. The result, a wondrously weighty vocal and dub mix of each of these certified classics that retain all that disco-channelling greatness whilst adding an extra punch and brightness that will rock any modern dance floor they’re put before.

Curtis then furthered his education at Winston-Salem State University. He continued his musical training at Juliard School of Music in New York. The basketball player, Earl Monroe, set up a record label and on a visit to Winston-Salem, Curtis got in touch. The pair had both attended the same school and the pair struck up a relationship that led, via a demo tape recording, to Curtis signing to Earl's Pretty Pearl label. The debut single was 'I Want You (All Tonight)', licensed to RCA in the U.K., became a Top 50 hit in 1983. The follow-up 'I Want Your Lovin' (Just A Little Bit)' was released in the UK for the London imprint in 1985, reaching the Top 15 slot later that year. In the States he had an R & B hit with his version of 'We All Are One'. Jimmy Cliff's acheived some success with the song at the same time.

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. He transferred some of his remixes to vinyl to be played by other DJs. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
