A follow-up to the group's massive electro groover "Dirty Talk" – done with the same sort of percolating beats, electro keys, and whispered snakey vocals that really give the subject matter a run for the money! The groove and sound is very similar to the original – and the... read more

Sweet jazz funk from 70s Finland! "Boots & Roots" is a wonderful groover from the group of saxophonist Eero Koivistoinen – a snapping groover with guitar on the rhythms, and freewheeling solos on soprano sax from Eero, plus some great solo work on piano! "Roots &... read more

Three remixes from the Konomka project – all of which really expand the spirit of the original! Chico Mann remixes "Sibashaya Woza", and somehow manages to bring this really earthy, almost muddy vibe to the track – but we mean that in a good way – as his style kind of... read more

A huge crossover hit for the group – but a pretty tasty dancefloor single as well! Deodato's producing track here – and it's got a nicely compressed sound that pops along the bassline and catchy hook wonderfully!... read more

A funky later classic from Kool & The Gang – not as hard and heavy as their early work, but still plenty darn great! And while "Ladies Night" is a well-known hit, there's always great bits on the track that we always fall in love with again – like the tightly compressed... read more

"Outta Here" is a history of KRS/BDP's early days combined with the story of what happens to performers after fame and fortune has passed, "$5,000 love seat – outta here!" With production by Premier. "I Can't Wake Up" is one of those bizarre rhymes that only... read more

Not the classic disco tune "I Feel Love", but instead a great modern groover from Uku Kuut – one that has these great stepping keyboards over beats, with a vibe that's just like some lost instrumental street soul cut from the mid 80s! The tune spins perfectly at both 45 and 33... read more

What can we say? Despite the stupid appearance of the band, "White Horse" was a classic breakdance/electro track that crossed over so big it had kids in Kansas running out to by parachute pants and squares of linoleum to play along with the kids in the Bronx. Despite that runaway hit... read more

Jesse Saunders has some fun with an 8-bit sampler and little vocal bits referencing the Amityville Horror film (we think) over this spare, almost electro-sounding early Chicago house cut.... read more

Two of the doper tracks from the "T.I.M.E" LP – two that still have the classic Leaders' sound from the "Future Without..." LP. To our ears, Busta's solo material has still never sounded nicer than these tracks with Charlie Brown and Dinco D. The Large Professor gives... read more

A great little groover on Brunswick – with that kind of choppy club funk feel that you'll also find on some of the label's other obscure 12" singles, like the classic "You Are The One", by AMFM. The track's got a very nice groove – and the hook's enough to keep the track... read more

While most heads are checking for the "Real Deal" 12" with Shadow's Lesson 4 remix on the flip, this other single off the Lifer's Group album is still nice, with tight production by Organized Konfusion on the a-side, and nicer beats than we recall from Doctor Jam and Phase 5 on the... read more

Original pressing of "Boogie Down Bronx", one of the first hip hop tracks about The Bronx, and the early electro classic that Newcleus copied the bassline, drums and vocoder sound from on "Jam On It". The production almost sounds as if this could be a mid 80s Arthur Baker cut.... read more

An offshoot of the 4AD rock scene from the UK, this number sampled Rakim from "Paid In Full" to great effect – and it made quite a bit of sense that the track was issued on 4th & Broadway in the US (probably also a legal move, so that the label wouldn't sue 4AD for copping a... read more

Classic party rockin' first school hip hop from 1980 – an elongated jam that holds up incredibly well all these years later! The Sound of Brooklyn is the full name of the track and the label – and it's features Master Jay and Michael Dee dropping straight up classic old school rhymes... read more

One of those cool RCA 12" singles from the mid 70s – cuts recorded by groups who never made a bigger wave on the label! This is a great Canadian disco cut with a quick-stepping sort of groove – produced by Tony Green at a level that's a nicely lean take on styles that would... read more

A sweet sweet set of rare tracks from start of the 80s – all recorded in the far-out locale of Rock Island, IL – but done with a funky groove to rival the best sounds coming out of New York or Minneapolis at the time!

Timbaland comes correct again, with a solid beat that has his trademark funky syncopation but with a nod towards the old school, and while no ones going to give Missy any awards for her rhymes, she's still better than the half a dozen soft porn on the mic of the moment female MCs out there.... read more
