Modern psych funk torchbears The Stepkids deliver once again for Stones Throw – a 12-inch tease for their 2013 record Troubadour! "Sweet Salvation" is one of the trippier tunes we've heard from the group – one that's anchored by a funky bass and stable beat – with some... 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 lively little groover from the Sugarhill Gang – one based around the excellent "Daisy Lady" sample from 7th Wonder! The track makes great use of the original's brassy horns – inflecting a bright, almost Latiny finish on the tune – all to set the stage for some great... read more

The follow up to "Do The James" with real nice mid-tempo late 80's production, representing the fun, less serious side of hip hop, along the lines of Stezo and Special Ed. With production by the legendary Paul C McKasty.... read more

Strange stuff! "Automatic Lover" is a clear Kraftwerk rip off, complete with robotic vocals, and a cold German backing. Very different than anything else Sylvia ever did, and proof that she was certainly a nutter!... 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

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

Mighty nice beats from Dandy Teru – chunky and crispy, and topped with some wonderful vocal work from Ty and Sarah Gessler – trading back and forth between lyrics and rhymes, and really bringing some nice energy to the cut! Quiet Dawn provide remixes on the flipside, and really add a... 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

A solid 12-inch split single from ESL and Ghostly International – pairing up the labels' top shelf talents of Thievery Corporation and Tycho! The A-side features Thievery Corporation's "Fragments", with a steady, hypnotic beat and some sweet keyboard atmosphere floating over. The... read more

Jazzy club from Joe Thomas – 2 tracks that feature the Ebony Godfather's flute alongside some sweet electric backings! "Funky Fever" has a silly title but is actually a nice little cut – one that has electric keys and warm arrangements from Brad Baker, plus a bit of vocals on... read more

Heady keyboards from Trash Company – an artist who's been making grooves since the late 70s, and who definitely has an ear for a really raw sound! The music's less disco than other PPU reissues – and is mighty dark throughout – with lots of distortion on the beats and keys, and... read more

The most notable thing about this single is that Two Kings in A Cipher were Ron Lawrence (know then as Amen Ra) and D Dot Agellettie (known then as D.O.P) who later went on to produce lots of Puffy's hits. And of course, D Dot Angelettie is now better know as The Mad Rapper. "Movin On 'Em"... 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

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
