Austin Boogie Crew, 2017. New Copy ... $11.99
There's lots of 80s-styled groove acts around these days – but Diamond Ortiz may well be one of the best – serving up a record here that's very worth the title of "Goodies" it bears on the label!

Irma (Italy), 1998. Used ... $3.99
New one on Irma, with a bit of a b-movie feel to it, and some nice funky grooves underneath.

Irma (Italy), 2000. Used ... $9.99
Very cool stuff from Irma! Sam Paglia's a modern hero of the Hammond B-3 – but he's got a swinging Italian style that's part bossa, part 60s jazz/pop, and part lounge party music. This album's a winner all the way through – and has some excellent modern cocktail grooves, and plenty of ... read more CD

Stones Throw, 2007. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $6.99
The debut single from Stones Throw upstart James Pants – an odd, but groovy synthesis of 80s club soul, jittery post disco synth sounds, and the hynotic background bounce of early party rap – but with enough of a modern sensibility to sound very much of the mid 00s! "Kash" is ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
