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
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
5 tracks "Put It In Your Mouth", "Robbery Song", "In The World", "F*ck Me For Free", and "Thug Sh*t". Beats by Frankie Cutlass, EZ Elpee, Dr Butcher and others.... read more
Another dope Chicago underground cut from All Natural (MC Capital D and DJ Tone B Nimble), the follow up to the "Writers Block/50 Year" single. In "Phantoms of the Opera", All Natural are on a mission to take out "phantom" MC's. "Thinkin Cap" was produced by... read more
The Beatnuts continue the gimme-the-cash theme (see "Find That Sh*t", "Do You Believe In God") on the third single from the Stone Crazy LP, but this time its the its hidding assets from the IRS trick. Nice guest vocals from Big Punisher and Cuban Links.... 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
An excellent 80s groove classic! James D-Train Williams sings it nice and deep on this catchy club cut – but the real groove is put over by Hubert Eaves, who does some excellent work on keyboards!... 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
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
Two groovers by the great Manu Dibango! One of many versions of "Soul Makossa", and "Big Blow", a tasty number, and was also a bit of a hit for Manu – with a strong club groove, and excellent sax riffing away over the top!... read more
"Blue Flowers" is one of our favorite tracks from the Dr. Octagon LP! This 12" combines all the remixes that were previously available only on import and adds the new "Meditation" mix and instrumental.... read more
A cool chapter in the career of this unique disco band! "Birthday Medley" is a mix of famous birthday themes, served up for the clubs with a hip west coast Latin disco style – and "Frisco Disco" is even better – a jaunty groover that's right up there with the group's... 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
"Reminiscence" is a wonderfully atmospheric groover from Toshiyuki Goto – warm beats with a soft finish, covered by a background keyboard organ line that bubbles away like you're hearing it come from a distant club down the street – all of which makes for a very compelling... read more
A heck of a 12" single – featuring 2 tracks by the Honeydrippers, plus tracks by Spoonie G that use their original groove! "Impeach The President" and "Roy C's Theme" are 2 of the best tracks ever by Roy C's Honeydrippers – and the former is one of THE all-time... 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
Somehow Janet has always made ear candy radio friendly pop numbers that are irresistible to us, no matter how much commercial appeal she glosses on to them, like this single that uses some chirping guitar and hooky piano from an old tune by Change to build an unstoppable groove.... 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
Includes "Snake", "Been Around The World" feat Ja Rule, "Step In The Name Of Love (rmx)", "Who's That" feat Fat Joe, "Ignition", "You Knock Me Out", and "Dream Girl".... read more
The debut single off Laurnea's debut album, with a bit more of a commercial sound than she's got on New Territory, though the Designated Hitters mix on the flip has a feel that may appeal more to fans of her newer sound.... read more
After a few mis-steps on the Big Beat label, Lord Digga makes his return with a single using a sample from "The Price Is Right." It might sound like a gimmick, but the rhymes make it work.... read more
