Snapping beats and a really great 80s groove make "Checking You Out" one of Aurra's best tracks! The tune starts out slow, in a way that's perfect for bringing up out of a mix – then the vocals come in with some nice electro undercurrents – really making for a catchy appeal... read more

A great little tune from Erykah Badu – smooth, mellow, with a nice downtempo vibe, but still a warm finish that works perfectly with her voice! This is the kind of tune that made us all fall in love with her right away – and which still sounds great years later!... read more

Erykah and The Roots, what else do you need to know?... read more

A great 80s disco cut with a infectious thumping beat and sweet chirping guitars with a more sequencer based disco number on the flip from Began Cekic, Tee Scott and Fredd Zarr.... read more

One of the few James Brown 12" singles ever, and a rare promo issue that features 2 cuts from James' Jam/1980s LP. Both cuts have an uptempo funk sound, and "The Spank" is a pretty decent attempt by James to capture the modern dancefloor.... read more

We can't help but favor the Dells earlier soul work, but later disco numbers like the a-side of this nice single, and the sophisticated title track off the I Touched A Dream LP, a more downtempo cut, are no less great!... read more

Excellent single from the godlike hands of Patrick Adams & Greg Carmichael! The record's a club-heavy update of this Motown classic that's mixed by Larry Levan!... read more

A great but overlooked bit of crossover funk from Chas Jankel – guitarist for Ian Dury & The Blockheads during the late 70s! We're pretty partial to the cut "Glad To Know You" – which is a wicked post-punk crossover tune – almost in the Human League mode, but with... read more

A dancefloor anthem if there ever was one – and produced by August Darnell, pre Kid Creole. Strong female vocals in unison – and a hook that just won't quit for the west village clubs!... read more

A lesser-known number by Fonda Rae – but one that's still plenty darn nice, and proof that she was one of the best singers on the early 80s club scene! "Heobah" has a romping, thumping intro that's nice and spare – beats and a bit of lightly riffing guitar that really set the... read more

Two edits of rare cuts from Tommy Stewart – both of them great! "Practice What You Preach" is heavy on moogy moments – bubbling beautifully over the cut's funky club bottom – then getting sweetened by strings, and cut up and stretched out by this great edit! "Bump... read more

A crossover bit of house from Marshall Jefferson and crew – soulful stuff overall, but with a nice by Steve Silk Hurley that gives the cut more of a dancefloor edge! The "underground" mix drops out the beats a bit more, sliding strings around the vocals for more of a deep club feel.... read more

Nice roller boogie on an indie Chicago label, with production that's very much like something you might hear on Sugarhill Records or maybe one of Peter Brown's labels from the same period.... 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
