TOM MOULTON is one of the most important people in the history of
dance music. The trademark 'A Tom Moulton Mix' is a mark of quality given
to only the finest records - from GRACE JONES' seminal 'La Vie En Rose' to
the million-selling MFSB disco anthem "Love Is The Message", to
over 4000 remixes.
Tom Moulton began his career in the early 60s at the legendary R'n'B
label KING RECORDS, home of JAMES BROWN, LITTLE WILLIE JOHN, HANK BALLARD
and THE MIDNITERS and many more.
In 1971, he visited New York's Fire Island, the infamous gay holiday
resort where he describes seeing "white men dancing to black music" for
the first time. It was here that Tom Moulton first began splicing up tapes
for the discotheque.
In the 70s Tom Moulton became the most in-demand remixer in the world.
'A Tom Moulton Mix' became a signifier of both musical integrity and chart
success as Grace Jones, THE TRAAMPS, LOLEATTA HOLLOWAY, ANDREA TRUE CONNECTION
and hundreds more.
This is the first album to bring together some of the classic and
rare tracks that have been blessed with 'A Tom Moulton Mix'. It is the story
of one man and his amazing role in the history of the rise of Disco roots
to the hedonistic days of STUDIO 54 and the PARADISE GARAGE.
