The band was formed in 1985 by guitarist Simon Bartholomew, bassist /keyboardist Andrew Levy, and drummer/vocalist Jason Kincaid, and worked with a number of lead vocalists over the years including N’Dea Davenport, Siedah Garrett and Carleen Anderson. Pioneers of London’s burgeoning Acid Jazz scene the band enjoyed significant commercial success during the 1990s, chalking up an impressive 15 top 40 UK singles.

This new ‘best of’ is available as a 2CD set with hits on CD 1 and remixes by Masters at Work, Dimitri from Paris, Roger Sanchez on CD 2 (including a new remix of ‘Stay This Way’ by Bob Sinclair). The 2LP black vinyl edition features the hits from the first disc of the 2CD set.

Notes come courtesy of ‘superfan’ Mark Ronson: ““The Brand New Heavies and their pitch perfect jazz-funk revival were my musical coming out party. They were my introduction to all the incredible music I would spend the next 30 years of my life DJ’ing in clubs as well as triggering my desire to think outside of the basic-ass chords I knew on the guitar and piano.” 

Never Stop… The Best of The Brand New Heavies will be released on 29 September 2023, via London Records.
