An undeniable acid house classic with enough bouncing 303 bassline and 808 handclaps to keep you moving all night long! One of the essential mid 80s Trax releases. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Heavy Prince influenced 80s grove tracks issued on the Sugar Hill subsidiary Sweet Mountain, with a very rock feel over electronic percussion and synth grooves. 12-inch, Vinyl record
A great post-disco track from the Aleem brothers, with a some very 80s production with heavy Linn drums and electro touches, and some nice soulful vocals courtesy Leroy Burgess, which are a bit buried too in the mix for our tastes. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Classic Italo disco from Answering Service – a tune that managed to crossover a bit here, thanks to a catchy hook and some nice import-styled rhythms! 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has spots of sticker residue, some wear, and discoloration from age.)
A record where some singer we've never heard covers bits of Michael's best tracks from the late 70s and early 80s. The a-side is a nearly 12 minute medley with bits of "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough", "Wanna Be Startin Somethin", "Rock With You", "Billie ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Loads of clubby house remixes of the Mary J hit numbers. We did not have room to list the mixes of "As" above, which are "Maurice's millenium mix", "Jonathan Peters mix" and "Beyond Real mix". 12-inch, Vinyl record
An obscure single taking off from a groove borrowed loosely off Zapp's "More Bounce To The Ounce" and adding a sort of quasi-rap vocal over top, that sounds more like George Clinton type vocalese than any sort of hip hop. (Hip Hop, Soul)12-inch, Vinyl record
Another nice track from Began Cekic, with a helping hand from Tee Scott. The groove's popping early 80s sound has a crisp midtempo almost roller skating vibe. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Great grooves from Brother Reistance – tracks that are aimed at the dancefloor, but which also have a strong social message too! "Tonite Is De Night" is a cool call to action, set to a rhythm with tight tropical touches – and "Crucial Decision" is presented here in ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
At this point, Chuck and the group have moved firmly into DC Go-Go territory – but they still did that pretty darn well, and their years as a funk group make this one kick a bit more than other singles from the time. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Uptempo funky James from the end of the 70s – aimed at the discos, but with that funky sound of earlier days still pretty much in place! In other words, there's plenty of funky instrumentation in the cuts – a bit faster than in earlier years, but still quite nice – plus ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
If you buy one funky record today, make sure it's this one! "She's The One", a lost track by James, is remixed using the famous "Funky Drummer" break in this 1988 version by Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim)! But even better than that, the flipside contains the original "Funky ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a black Urban sleeve. Label has a small sticker.)
Tyrone's listed as "Tystick" on the label to this one – and for good reason, as there's a heck of a lot of stick-stick-sticky bass work on the cut, in Tyrone's classic 80s groove mode! 12-inch, Vinyl record
A slow-grooving boogie number from Junior Byron – one that's got a catchy sort of back/forth rhythm, which Junior uses to nice advantage with his swinging vocals on the tune! The version brings up the riffing guitar in the rhythms, in a way that's even cooler than the original mix – ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
"It's time for the percolator"! Raw new school Chicago house, from the first wave of Chicago's house renaissance in the early 90s! 12-inch, Vinyl record
A very cool single with 2 of Cameo's best early funk tracks! The record is a one-sided promo 12" single issued by Chocolate City – and "Post Mortem" is a sample classic, with a riff you'll recognize instantly! 12-inch, Vinyl record
A great little groove from Captain Sky – a cut that steps along nicely with a sweet disco glide! There's some bubbling moogy bits underneath the vocals – and the Captain himself comes across like a smooth soul singer throughout – quite possibly the best side of his talents on wax! ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Rare Tunisian disco from Carthago – a pair of storming dancefloor soul numbers recorded in Paris at the end of the 70s – backed by previously unreleased instumental versions! The group has a deep understanding of classic late 70s funky soul here, which you get from the start of "Ale ... (Global Grooves, Soul)read more12-inch, Vinyl record
THE standout cut from Central Line – a track so big that it got the group noticed over here on our side of the Atlantic, and forever gave them a place in the hallowed halls of 80s groove! The tune chugs along at a great roller skating rhythm – with some spare use of keyboards that ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of the blueprints of hip hop! At the time, Chic's "Good Times" just seemed like a wickedly funky pop tune – but who knew that that bass and guitar groove would inspire a whole generation of hip hoppers, bouncing along in a groove that was at once at home on the roller rink or ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A killer cut! The Clark Sisters were mostly a gospel-oriented group, but they cut this amazing groover during the early 80s, and it's got a semi-secular sound that launched them into the mainstream soul world for a while. The cut's got a great stepping groove, a very catchy hook in the chorus, ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
The height of the disco years at Curtom, and quite possibly Linda Clifford's biggest single – if not her best. The tune's an overblown remake of the old showtune from Sweet Charity – done with very full arrangements, and running for quite some time. "Gypsy Lady" is almost a ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of Bootsy's best tracks from the old days – served up here on a promo 12" single that was issued at the time of the Warner Archives CD release for The Best Of Bootsy. The remix is better than you'd expect, too – and really keeps the original flavor of the song! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Needs no introduction – and a funky track so classic, it's still hard to believe that Lionel Ritchie was involved in the thing! A perfect choice for a Motown disco single – and one to slap on the turntables at your next mainstreamers gig! 12-inch, Vinyl record
