Epitomising the very best of their hometown's unparalleled musical heritage, Detroit's Dames Brown are the vocal trio you may not yet know by name but are sure to know by voice. Lending their exquisite range to a number of modern house essentials, including Sophie Lloyd's 'Calling Out', The Vision featuring Andreya Triana 'Heaven' and David Penn's 'Nobody' in recent years, Athena Johnson, Teresa Marbury and LaRae Starr released 'What Would You Do?' in 2021 to critical acclaim. Produced by long-time collaborator of the group and fellow Motor City native Amp Fiddler and Mahogani Music regular Andrés, now Lyon house superstar Folamour steps up to remix this slick, funk-filled cut. Lending his signature groove to the release, lush synth notes, electric bass licks and live instrumentation give 'What Would You Do?' another lease of life for informed selectors.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
