After gaining access from the legendary original artists, the pair take the multi-track tapes of many classic Disco, Funk \u0026amp; Soul tracks and re-work them...to the Maxxx!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Remixed With Love stands as Dave Lee's own gold-standard body of work, Mixed To The Maxxx sets that legacy alongside Morales' own decades-deep M+M body of work: Lee brings his musically dense, groove-first touch to the likes of Harold Melvin, Syreeta, Lenny Williams and The Brand New Heavies, while Morales applies his extended, dancefloor-built M+M treatment and crushes the likes of Barry White, The Temptations and Loleatta Holloway, plus Dennis Coffey's breakbeat classic \"Scorpio\" for the DJs and collectors alike. Both work from original tapes, surfacing parts barely audible or entirely unheard in the source mixes, and both know when to let a classic breathe rather than bury it under modern production. It's a pairing a long time in the making. Lee and Morales first talked about working together around a decade ago, and getting Mixed To The Maxxx off the ground took five years of patient work: tracking down usable stems, securing approvals, and navigating a licensing landscape where much of the best material is now tied up with major labels increasingly cautious about clearing remixes. What's landed here is the product of that graft as much as the pair's shared ear for a great record, the sound of two people who know exactly what they're looking for and are willing to put in the time to find it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA double 12\" sampler in summer 2025 previewed the record's range. A bass-driven overhaul ofThe Brothers Johnson's \"The Real Thing\" and an extended mix of Philly legends Bell \u0026amp; James' \"Livin' It Up (Friday Night)\" showcased Lee's side, while an anthemic take on Inner Life's \"Ain't No Mountain High Enough\" and a tempo-lifted Light Of The World\"London Town\" flew the flag for Morales. Both drew strong early support ahead of the full LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixed To The Maxxx arrives across two double LPs and a double CD.
