Brazil might not be the first place you consider when thinking about London’s legendary queer DJ collective Horse Meat Disco, but Brazil is where we’re wilfully going with them on this new 2LP compilation through Mr Bongo! Throw on some dancing shoes and pop this on, with tunes old, new, rare and rad from the likes of Jorge Ben, Marcos Valle, Z Carlos, Carlos Bivar, and more. – Flying Out

13 years in the making, Mr Bongo proudly presents a new compilation of beloved Brazilian disco and boogie finds from the legendary London disco connoisseurs, Horse Meat Disco. A labour of love, it showcases a tantalising cross-section of disco, funk, boogie, samba and MPB, from past to present. Unearthing tracks from the seemingly endless gold mine of Brazilian gems, the compilation features legends such as Jorge Ben, Gretchen, Marcos Valle and Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti, alongside unsung heroes including Z Carlos and Carlos Bivar.

Over 20 years ago, the Horse Meat Disco crew (James Hillard, Severino Panzetta, Jim Stanton and Luke Howard) began their weekly residency at Eagle London back in 2003. That same year, Luke made his first visit to Brazil, beginning a musical love affair that is still going strong.
