Motown Joints Mixer by Greg Womack

This mix has been ruling my world this weekend. It’s a 2 hour compilation of tracks by Greg Womack pulled from the newly released Motown Joints 10 volume collection of edits and mixes. The collection is compiled by Jay Negron aka J*SKI, and includes edits by Tom Moulton, John Morales, Scratchandsniff, The Apple Scruffs, Pied Piper, Whiskey Barons, U-Tern, Alkalino, Onur Engin, Drop Out Orchestra, Dimitri From Paris, Belabouche and Todd Terje. It’s epic and truly amazing.

You can download the entire 10 volume collection here.

Tom Moulton is the mix master

The whole point of a remix is to extend all the best parts of a song as decided by the song remixer. Tom Moulton is a master because he retains all the original warmth and vibe of the original track, while making it usually longer and more interesting.

The Joy Of Disco

If you know me, you know I love me my disco. So imagine my delight when I came across this BBC-produced documentary. It’s pretty good and a well-recommended watch. Tom Moulton is especially funny reminiscing about his remix of Andrea True Connection‘s More More More. As is Moroder on the creation of the pioneering Diana Ross classic I Feel Love. Their focus on the connection between disco music and gay culture gives me warm fuzzies. My biggest gripe is that there’s nary a mention of Larry Levan, not one peep.
