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

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

Two cuts from the Edutainment LP. KRS asks "Who Protects Us From You?" over spare dancehall sythesizers and on "Why Is That" KRS applies his exegesis of the Pentateuch to today's educational system with a dope piano line.... read more

One of George Clinton's biggest hits – and probably his last gasp on the charts in a major way. The cut's a logical extension of late 70s P-Funk – with more of the bass-popping 80s grooves and electro touches that Clinton had inspired in so many other funky groups at the time.... read more

Reissue of Davy DMX's biggest hit "One For the Treble", an early DJ record, mostly instrumental, where he cuts in lots of sound bits including RUN-DMC, car noises and a British woman saying the title phrase over – of course – a DMX drum machine beat.... read more

Lots of extra goodies, in keeping with the usual De La 12" format of the time – the Buhloone Mindstate era, when quality nuggets such as these were few and far between.... read more

With Redman.... read more

2 De La Soul tracks, produced by Jay Dee! "Shoomp" has a blunt synth blip feel, with Jay Dee making nice use of a Tom Tom Club beat. It all plays along very well with guest Sean Paul's dancehall calling. "Much More" has a soft and soulful guest spot by Yummie, and the track... read more

We can't help but favor the Dells earlier soul work, but later disco numbers like the a-side of this nice single, and the sophisticated title track off the I Touched A Dream LP, a more downtempo cut, are no less great!... read more

It's nice to hear a new MC these days that rhymes largely on beat and can create thought provoking rhymes that go beyond the sort of lowest common denominator topics of ass and money you hear not just on the radio and in the club, but even on supposedly undeerground records. Chicago's own Diverse... read more

Original pressing of this early Eric B & Rakim 12", with the Cold Cut remix of "Paid in Full" that everyone used to think was so cool because it had Ofra Haza in it. This is the harder to find pic cover version.... read more

A sweet little rarity from Bobbi Humphrey – a rare single cut for Roy Ayers' Uno Melodic label, and a great blend of Bobbi's jazzy style with Roy's warmly sublime groove! There's a bit more vocals than flute on the track, but that's a-ok with us – and Roy produced, while Bobbi arranged!... read more

Excellent single from the godlike hands of Patrick Adams & Greg Carmichael! The record's a club-heavy update of this Motown classic that's mixed by Larry Levan!... read more

Produced by True Master, who takes the Wu-sound back to its roots, with a track dope enough to stand on it's own. Similarly, Inspectah Deck delivers some straight-ahead hip hop lyrics and avoids the creative dead-ends of some later Wu-associated releases.... read more

A pair of top shelf J Dilla tracks from the archives – with rhymes by Dilla and compatriots Frank N Dank! "Anthem" is a definite gem, particularly on the production tip. It's got a raw, powerfully effective way with the beats – which are mirrored by some nice, minimalist bit... read more

A great but overlooked bit of crossover funk from Chas Jankel – guitarist for Ian Dury & The Blockheads during the late 70s! We're pretty partial to the cut "Glad To Know You" – which is a wicked post-punk crossover tune – almost in the Human League mode, but with... read more

One of the greatest funky tunes ever by James Brown's legendary funk combo – a killer instrumental that blends heavy horn, monster bass, and some really wicked moog! This 12" single was originally issued by Urban Records in the late 80s – and is one of the best ways to hear the... read more

The great first single from Kanye's Late Registration LP – with some very clever verses and a busy, exciting production! The track is built up from a sample of the classic John Barry/Shirley Bassey hit "Diamonds Are Forever" (thankfully Kanye didn't speed the vocal part into the... read more

The a-side is the bit hit "Big Poppa", making good use of the Isley Brothers' "Between the Sheets" sample. But the real gem here is "Warning", which uses a sample from Isaac Hayes' amazing version of "Walk On By" and the eerie ending where Biggie gets shot. ... read more

One of the singles pulled from Greg Osby's hip hop crossover LP, 3-D lifestyles. The beats and production were provided by Eric "Vietnam" Sadler, and have that harder early 90s sound tothem, and we forget who the MCs are, though they aren't half bad. The last mix is instrumental.... read more

Classic early Pharcyde, off Bizarre Ride II, with a chubby, jazzy beat courtesy J-Swift and Fatlip, Slimkid Tre, Imani and Booty Brown snappin' on, you guessed it, ya mama.

A lesser-known number by Fonda Rae – but one that's still plenty darn nice, and proof that she was one of the best singers on the early 80s club scene! "Heobah" has a romping, thumping intro that's nice and spare – beats and a bit of lightly riffing guitar that really set the... read more

Second single off Ras Kass's second LP. No one's better than Ras Kass in giving up-to-the-minute, hilarious, intelligent commentary on the current state of hip hop or America in general – with puchlines that still hold up on the third or fourth listening. And the production is as nice as... read more
