Brilliant stuff – and one of the greatest P&P singles ever! Marta Acuna's "Dance Dance Dance" is one of those tracks that we never tire of – a sublime blend of Latin rhythms, warm disco vocals, and that great spacey P&P approach to production! Sweet female vocals... read more

Classic boogie grooves from Gayle Adams, with a a nice helping of squelchy 80s sounding keys and fat synth basslines, plus mixes aimed right at the disco from Francois K. "Stretchin Out" pops along at nice mid tempo pace, while "Your Love Is A Life Saver" skips along at a... read more

A track that doesn't need to get remixed, is revisited ina number of different forms. AS you'd expect the "classic", "bonus beats", "Zulu funk" and "instrumental" mixes don't differ much form the original, and it gets a little down south flavor for th e"... read more

Reissue of the classic! The one with the sample from Kraftwerk that went on to become the basis for what seems like the entire Miami Bass industry for a while.... read more

The electro classic, famous in part for that incredibly prescient sample from Kraftwerk that went on to become the basis for what seems like the entire Miami Bass industry for a while – but it's so much more than that. Truly a benchmark record!... read more

Rare single by Bam and the Soulsonic Force off the Beat Street soundtrack.... read more

Six different mixes of this meeting of two greats. Admittedly not as entirely dope as it could have been, but still as nice as a Soul Sonic Force records with backing by Doug Wimbish and Keith LeBlanc. Also, there's a few interludes with James Brown saying a few words about the record. Nice cover... read more

Carl Craig meets Tony Allen – in a wonderfully warm remix of Allen's "Kilode"! Craig really helps add a lot to the tune here – taking the strong vocals and forceful rhythms of the original, and inflecting them with a slight bit of spacier soul – not nearly as cold or... read more

One of the slinkier grooves we've heard in recent years from Tony Allen – served up here in 2 mixes that both make the most of the track's snakey guitar! There's a bit more atmospherics here than heavy beats – and the tune is less of a driving Afro Funk number than a snakey cut that... read more

A very dubby remix of this tune by Tony Allen – one that features plenty of brooding basslines amidst the percussion! The track almost takes us back to some of the first few Tony Allen singles during his Comet Records comeback years in the 90s – and Moritz Von Oswald brings a nicely... read more

A sweet little single – not just for the cool 10" format, but for the great grooves within! "Meus Filhos" is a classic funky track written by Jorge Ben – and delivered here in a tight Afro Funk mode that's way different than the original – lots of tight drums from... read more

Do you need a dollar? You just might get one with this stellar and soulful single by Aloe Blacc – rawly produced, memorably composed, and one of the finer underground soul singles of 2010! "I Need A Dollar" may sound familiar – it's the theme song to How To Make It In... read more

Beautiful! "Beat Box" is one of those songs we couldn't live without – a blast of sound and noise, taking a hip hop cut and paste aesthetic to a whole new level! Here, the famous track is presented in two of the many ZTT remixes – versions that took the concept of remixing... read more

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

Rare work from Aurra – recorded right at the tail end of their years at Salsoul Records, and with a groove that's still very tight and in the pocket1 "Satisfaction" is a bassy groover that has plenty of bump way down at the bottom – that leaner groove Aurra used near the end,... read more

A killer single – one that features 3 of Roy Ayers' greatest tracks of the 70s! "Brother King" is a wicked bit of funky dancefloor from Roy – jazzed-up funk, almost a parody of disco, but with a groove that's bound to pack any dancefloor. "Everybody Loves The... read more

Late 70s club work from Roy Ayers – a rare promo single that brings together 2 upbeat tracks from the mostly-mellow You Send Me album! "Get On Up Get On Down" is a perfect example of the way that Roy could hit the clubs without losing his soul – a cut that still retains all... read more

Doobie-doo doobie-doo! One of the catchiest Roy Ayers dancefloor tracks ever – a bassy bumping thumper that wonderfully skirts the line between clubby and funky! The track's got female vocals singing along with the hook – all in a mode that's quite similar to the most uptempo work by... read more

Bad Meets Evil is Eminem and Royce the 5-9. Eminem's verses here are as good as the rhymes on his long out of print ep, and Royce's are just about as nice. Reef's production on both tracks is probably better than most of the production on Eminem's Aftermath/Interscope LPs.... read more

A great 12-inch from BADBADNOTGOOD – with a far-reaching jazzy/cosmic funk take on Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" – plus the equally impressive "UWM". "Flashing Lights" kicks off sparely with thick keys and heavy, heavy drum sound – in a way that... read more
