Let's have a look into my record collection... this week: Brass Construction! One of the most played funk bands on the dance floor, even now, if you go to a disco/funk/boogie club night or before/ after concerts when the dj is warming up or cooling it down.. One of the most unknown bands as such, but many people know their tracks without knowing who it is. Let's go to Wikipedia and find out more.. not so much here. They were formed in 1968 in Brooklyn, New York and very productive: They released 10 albums between 1975 and 1985. There is a notable section of people who sampled their work, amongst them: Jill Scott, Gang Starr and Bob Sinclair.
This is their greatest hit and it's also the first tune on their first record: Movin.
My latest mix is now online. Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 19:00h. In addition, earlier Venus Tunes Sessions shows are repeated every Friday between 20:00-21:00 and Tuesday 21:00-22:00.Freak 31 has around 250 daily listeners (less during the week, more in the weekend) and a total of +10.000 listeners every month. In addition to Mixcloud and Hearthis, all mixes are also available as podcasts on Deezer and iTunes.It was in 2015 when I had my first official dj gig and since 2016 I started to perform regularly. This took place in Amsterdam's Skyybar, Floor17 and The Harbourclub Zuid... bit by bit, other places like Momo and W Amsterdam followed, leading to club bookings as a dj and festival bookings with Venus Tunes Live in the Netherlands and abroad. All of this in addition to my normal life as a musician. I love dj'ing as it adds another facet to my musicianship.Listen to all editions of the Venus Tunes Sessions where you like; choose your platform: Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly guest mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 1900h.
