The Brown Brothers At Juno Download

Review: helved for decades, Al Kent's Million Dollar Disco unearths some classic disco funk from the Brown Brothers. The three brothers, Charles, Marcus and Patrick from Brooklyn, made some fabulous music in their home built studio between 1973 and 1980 but due to lack of promo or distribution knowledge, never got it released. Now, MDD clear the dust from the cassettes and give three of the tracks the proper release they deserve. "Sunshine" is an uplifting disco number with a classic NYC vibe, "You Got the Power" is a shuffling, funk-meets-disco jam and "Disco Kings & Queens" dives into full on, delirious funk. The rest of the MDD back cat has also just hit the shelves at Juno Download

Review: Depending on your predilection, The Brown Brothers are either an elusive duo of siblings from Brooklyn with a deep love of disco and a craft for edits which has surfaced on the now defunct Jiscomusic imprint or a neat excuse for Million Dollar Disco boss Al Kent to drop some rare disco heat without fear of legal action. Regardless, this second volume of Brown Brothers Secret Disco Sessions is just as essential as the first edition which MDD dropped earlier this year. Plenty of vintage and very obscure underground disco sounds from the height of 70s NYC discotheques here, all neatly edited for ease of mixing and maximum dancefloor potential. The low slung boogie of "Feel It Baby" and the recognisable organ funk of "Got Gear" particularly impress.
