Brookes Brothers - Orange Lane (2017)

One of the most widely respected names in Drum & Bass, the Brookes Brothers are gearing up to release their second album, Orange Lane, a 13-track LP filled to the brim with upbeat and soulful production.

Since releasing their first single in 2005 on Danny Wheelers W10 Records, the Brookes Brothers have become a staple in the drum & bass scene and made their Viper debut all the way back in 2006 as the 8th single ever released on the label with Someone / Promise. In 2008, this was followed hotly by their chart-topping single Tear You Down which spent two weeks atop the UK Dance Chart and 15 weeks in the Top 20.

After signing exclusively to Viper in 2013, the Brookes Brothers released more chart-topping singles, including Carry Me On which was dubbed the Hottest Record in the World by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1, and Anthem which made it to BBC 1Xtras A List.
Now, six years after their first album was released on Fresh and Adam Fs Breakbeat Kaos label, the Brookes Brothers have returned with their long-awaited sophomore LP, Orange Lane, another masterpiece that showcases the brothers unmatched musicality and diversity.

The album features a variety of vocalists, including: ShezArs soulful vocals and Bossman Birdies smooth rap breakdown complementing the empowering sounds of Flashing Lights while industry favourite Charlotte Haining lends her grace and charm to Waiting Right Here, and Pierre Da Silva adds a warmth to the acoustic sounds of Times Of Trouble, as well as the album closer We Got Love.

Tracks like Movin On, All About You and So Many Times give us a taste of classic Brookes Brothers funk and soul-driven Drum & Bass, while the opening track The One (featuring ShockOne) engulfs us in a wall of bass and steel-pans to start the album off with.

Combining soul, funk, disco and a whole lot more in a way no one else can, the Brookes Brothers have truly reached new heights with this LP. Orange Lane is destined to be a modern classic.
