Tight rhythms, though sprawlingly-inspired modern psych funk from Ultravibralux – and the first we've heard from this group – but as assured as it is, we're thinking we'll hear a lot more to come! The bass, drums and percussion hold together so tightly, the horns and guitars have a lot... read more

Standouts from Glenn Underground's peak-level Forgotton Art (Music)! "Shiloh (A King's Return)" pretty well encapsulates what we love most about Glenn's work from this period. It's got an unshakable dancefloor rhythm and a heavy bass groove – and kicked to a higher level with a... read more

Excellent! The cut's a dancefloor classic – and it's got this wonderful little moogy instrumentation that's a perfect example of the genius of Patrick Adams and Greg Carmichael, who put the whole thing together, and who give the cut a real P&P funky flavor. A real killer, and one that... read more

If you look at this single in perspective, it really should have been massive, Jody Wately's huge chart hit, with added verses by Rakim and a remix courtesy the Bomb Squad, all of whom were pretty much at the top of their game in the late 80s, when this was cut.... read more

An obscure later tune by The Whatnauts – issued years after their classics for All-Platinum in the early 70s – but proof that the group is always great, no matter what the setting! This tune's got a mean mean boogie groove – and was sampled to great fame by De La Soul in "Rin... read more

An overlooked, hypnotic 80s synth soul track from disco diva Carol Williams! This rare club mix of "Can't Get Away (From Your Love)" adds a dense layer of echoes and effects to Carol's vocals, and really digs deep into that early 80s synth heavy club sound of Detroit and Chicago. It's... read more

Warm Philly magic from the great Vince Montana – a track that links together both parts of the city's sound in the decade of 70s soul! "Love Is You" bubbles along on strings, beats, and vibes long before Carol's vocals come into the mix – and then really takes off... read more

A great little boogie groove from Wrecking Crew – not the west coast group, but one of the few midwest acts to work on the Erect label! "Chance To Dance" bounces along with a nice sort of ensemble funk mode – male vocals in the lead, but mixed vocals in support –... read more

An important early record from Yello – only a 4 track ep, but one that had a huge influence on modern dance! The standout cut here is "Bostich" – a great little track that's spare, electronic, and has snapping beats, catchy vocals, and this dark sound that fit perfectly with... read more

Karen's big cut, the only one we'll remember her for, and a big campy track in its day. Served up here on an original West End single, with vocal and instrumental versions both stretching past the 8 minute mark.... read more

Bootsy and Roger went all the way to the bank with this one – a classic electro funk groover without which, most of west coast late 80s/early 90s hip hop would not exist! The cut's a monster – and still sounds wonderful whatever the context.... read more

We don't know who Vin Zee was, but he's wearing satin pants, leg warmers and roller skates and carrying a stuffed, roller-skating albino gorilla doll on the cover of this single, so he's allright by us! The cut has an early 80's pop-funk sound, like when Kool & the Gang started to crossover,... read more
