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

A nice bit of New Jack from Wreckx-N-Effect – Teddy Riley production firmly in place, and a bit less of the hard sound than earlier work, but still pretty bounce-y and catchy. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Classic early 12", featuring the two sides of Wutang, from the classic first Wu-Tang LP!

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!
