On one of his first tracks since Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip definitely aims for the dancefloor with two remixes of "Vivrant Thing". One featuring Q-Tip, Missy Elliott and Busta Rhymes, and the other featuring Da Franchise, Sonya Blade, Captain, and Harry O. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
What can we say? "Ring My Bell" was one of the biggest crossover disco tracks of the late 70s – with a cool electronic groove on the beat, and lyrics and production by Frederick Knight, making the southern soul singer one of the more unlikely disco forces of the time. This 12" ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Before Don Was went on to become a huge hit making producer, he cut a number of tasty post disco tracks, like these two excellent Danceteria style numbers, all three versions with an irresistable Lower East Side 80s groove! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
In the tradition of the Molemen and All Natural, another nice one from the Chicago underground. "Think U Jammin'?" uses a killer organ bassline and DJ Diamond Kut cutting up a line from Steady Serv's classic "You Know The Time" for the chorus, and of course straight up dope hip ...

(White label pressing in a ABC Disco sleeve, with a promo stamp.)
A rare disco groover with lots of wicked percussion underneath the bassline – and a cool mish-mash of influences that seems to bring together Miami and Munich disco in one sweet groover!

A snapping little 80s groover – produced by Patrick Adams and Greg Carmichael, with a sound that's a bit rougher than some of their earlier club tracks – but mostly because of the heavy use of electric drums on the beat! Fonda's vocals are deep and soulful as ever – and even the ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Stevie Wonder's tribute to MLK, backed with some nice bits from the two sets of speeches Motown released, Free At Last and The Great March To Freedom: "I Have A Dream", "Drum Major Instinct Sermon", "Dr King's Desired Eulogy" and "I've Been To The ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record

Genius, pure genius – Trevor Horn's transformation of the overcluttered Yes groove down into a lean, mean bit of bass and funk for the 80s! The whole thing snaps, crackles, and vamps along magnificently – a blueprint for Art Of Noise, and countless other groups to come! The remix is ... (Rock) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
