Friday Five : \'frī-(,)dā,-dē 'fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: "Come See About Me" by Tedeschi Trucks [...]

I would suggest you turn your volume knobs right up for both of these tracks, as the imagination and polished guitar playing here is as smooth as a recently waxed bikini line and as sharp as a barber shop razor-shave-special. Formed in Brooklyn, New York, keyboard player and singer Randy Muller lead a heavyweight nine [...]
I would suggest you turn your volume knobs right up for both of these tracks, as the imagination and polished guitar playing here is as smooth as a recently waxed bikini line and as sharp as a barber shop razor-shave-special. Formed in Brooklyn, New York, keyboard player and singer Randy Muller lead a heavyweight nine piece band from the originally named Dynamic Soul to the newly found band name of Brass Construction. Signed to United Artists records in 1975, Brass Construction went on to claim such hits as 'Movin,' 'L-O-VE- U,' 'Ha Cha Cha' and 'Changin,' which is [...]
I'm too excited for this week, musically speaking of course. We have some exciting things going on, including guest mixes and some new releases. Today we're bringing out the newest funky sounds of nu-disco and electro house. Definitely take notice of Kartell , their new release is nu-disco gold. Kartell - Get Down (Mix Chopin Remix) √+ Brass Construction - Happy People (Pol On edit) Purpl Pop - [...]
Polish duo, Pol_On (Kacper Bogacz and Michal Piotrowski) hit us with their latest edit of Brooklyn funk group, Brass Connection. No longer together, the former billboard charters offer the Warsaw duo an array of disco infused samples. Through a series of filtered stabs and piano riffs, Pol_On recreate the early 702s hit into a big room filler, acting on their instinctual house roots. Brass Construction- Happy People (Pol On edit) [...]
That bumpy minimal house sound has been spreading far and wide over the last few years. Deadfish; Sound Pellegrino; Exploited; What! What! Records... all quirky offspring of the mighty Made To Play and Dirtybird imprints, the dons of fun, sample-based house... First up, Exploited head-honcho Shir Khan has sent over a remix by duo of the moment, Yolanda Be Cool, who've featured on Pelski in the past. Their recent, and frankly slightly annoying, 'We No Speak Americano', has plagued the radio and Ministry of Sound comps. For me, however, their earlier ' [...]
Jackmode DJ Agency based in Berlin has the likes of Solo, Round Table Knights, Oliver $ and Idiotproof on their roster. Alongside their JACKMODE SHOW on SWEAT LODGE RADIO every Saturday night at 10pm - broadcasting exclusive mixes into the ears of their followers - they also take a great deal of pleasure in presenting exclusive bootlegs and unreleased material from their artists to you. First up is this big booty bass effort from Dirtybird princess J. Phlip (pictured above): J Phlip - Renaissance [...]
Jackmode is a DJ agency based in Berlin, home to many a noteable name such as Zombie Disco Squad, Alexander Robotnik, Solo, Oliver $, Act Yo Age and upcoming stars like Monkey Safari and Idiotproof making up this "eclectic but considered roster". They dropped a few promo's through my mailbox the other day from J Philip, Pol On , Worthy & Yankee Zulu and as it states on the Agency Myspace page ; "musically, the common denominator is house music, but subtly peppered with african rhythms, baile funk elements and gypsy [...]
I'm pretty sure a lot of people have caught onto this show. It's probably one of the perfect examples of life here in NYC. It's been tough for everyone in this country ever since the recession. Everyone is trying their best to chase after that buck. Anyway, these are a couple of the standout tracks in my opinion that were featured on the show. With the theme song being the most symbolic of life in this concrete jungle. "I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need, hey hey!" [...]
Men are from mars, Women are from... one of the all time most classic french house tracks of all time. The blissfully filtered Gregory remix is the slut of all Venus remixes. Guaranteed to put out, everytime, everywhere. Dryhump : Cheek - Venus ( Sunshine People DJ Gregory Remix) (don lowed) -- Sample : Brass Construction - Happy People (don lowed)
What do you get when you mix B.T. Express and Brass Construction? This is the only track by Garnett Mimms and Truckin' Company; but Garnet Mimms (with one t) was a soul singer from Ashland, West Virginia in the mid 60's. It was produced by Jeff Lane from B.T. Express and Randy Muller from Brass Constructionin 1977. The back track sounds very much like any from Brass Construction's self titled LP, but with screaming guitar and funky proto-rave synth work. The guitar can be a bit much, but I am a sucker for tambourine. [...]

That L.T.G. Exchange record I shared a couple of days ago opened up the funk floodgates here at Chez Billy. Let's jump back into it with Brooklyn's Brass Construction . "Movin'" is probably the band's most celebrated single and the lead-off track of their nearly flawless self-titled debut full length. The horns and rhythm section do their thing, of course, but when the synth lead comes in and compliments the obsessively whispered "Don't stop... c'mon" the dance floor will be ready to jump out of its skin. It clocks in at nearly 9 minutes and every [...]
