The Brand New Heavies are a venerable music group hailed as one of the pioneers of the London acid jazz scene. Emerging in the mid-1980s as an instrumental acid jazz ensemble, the band gained a reputation for their soulful blend of jazz, funk, and R&B, and became a part of the significant UK club movement. They came to prominence in the early 1990s with their self-titled debut album under the Heavyweight Records label, followed by a recording contract with Acid Jazz Records, which led to international success.

Over the years, The Brand New Heavies have continued to release a string of critically acclaimed albums. Their most recent offerings include remixes and live performances that demonstrate the vitality and fluid musicianship that have been their hallmarks for over three decades. Noteworthy releases like the electrifying "Stupid Love (RMN & JusJez Remix)," the groove-laden "Dance it Out (RMN Remix)," and the nostalgic "Shibuya 357 (Live In Tokyo 1992)" showcase their ability to evolve while staying true to their funk-infused roots. With standout albums like "Sweet Freaks" and the remixed edition of "Brand New Heavies (Deluxe)," the group continues to cultivate their sound, engage fans, and underline their status as acid jazz royalty.
