Brass Construction was an American funk band that hit their stride in the 1970s with their high-energy blend of funk, jazz, R&B, and disco. Formed in Brooklyn, New York in 1968, they were originally known as Dynamic Soul, and the band was led by the charismatic singer, songwriter, and trombonist Randy Muller. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1975, spawned the perennial dance floor classic "Movin'," a track that captured the vibrant spirit of the decade and established the band as a force on the dance charts.
Throughout the late '70s and early '80s, Brass Construction carved out a successful career with a string of albums that consistently charted and resonated with fans of the burgeoning funk movement. Albums like "Brass Construction III," "Brass Construction IV," and "Brass Construction 5" showcase their prolific output and ability to evolve with the times, blending soulful melodies with intricate brass arrangements and a solid groove. While hits may have tapered off with the changes in musical taste through the '80s, the band's influence remained, with their sound preserved in samples by hip hop artists and continued enthusiasm from loyal fans. With expanded editions of their classic albums like "Conquest," "Renegades," and "Attitudes," a new generation of listeners can experience the powerhouse that is Brass Construction. Their enduring appeal is evidenced by remixes like "Turn It Up (Raf n Soul New York Remix)," which shows their music is still evolving and inspiring others to this day.
