A great bit of crossover dancefloor – and the one standout hit from The System! "In My System" has a groove that's electric and soulful at the same time – nicely percolated and a bit compressed – served up with a hook that won't quit! "Now I Am Electric" is a... read more

A spacey club track, with some hip rapping from vocalist Mark Murphy! Murphy doesn't really sing or scat on the track, but he does beat-esque monologue in the middle, which breaks the track up nicely. Snowboy plays percussion, and the track's got some nice electric piano too!... read more

A great little funky single – produced by Walter Junie Morrison, with a tight P-Funk groove that's got plenty of jazzy riffs. Sounds like the Horny Horns in the best parts, with a soulful approach that's better than most of George Clinton's work from the time!... read more

Ok, so Tribe Called Quest broke up since they ran out of new ideas. But to us, their first single from the "The Love Movement" LP sounded like they're back on track after the last LP. "Find A Way" is a dope mellow groove and "Steppin It Up" does just that with guest... read more

The first single off the "Funk Your Head Up" LP. Almost Bomb Squad-style production by Ced Gee. "Chorus Line Pt 2" has a nice cut'n'paste break type track.... 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

Tape that linoleum to the sidewalk and start poppin' your shoulders – "Break Dance" is one of those tunes that never fails to groove! The cut's a monstrous bit of street soul from the old school – served up with lots of great turntable work, monster Bongo Band beats, and even... 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

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!
