Do you know El Coco? The Gaturs? If rare disco and funk tuned-up and turned out are what you like then The Makeup is what you need. The album of eight rare disco and funk gems from the early 1970s to the early 1980s launches on double 12″ vinyl from the tastemakers at Adeen on March 1, 2021.

The Makeup is out on March 1, 2021; listen to the full release below and pre-order the wax from Juno.
