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
Doobie-doo doobie-doo! One of the catchiest Roy Ayers dancefloor tracks ever – a bassy bumping thumper that wonderfully skirts the line between clubby and funky! The track's got female vocals singing along with the hook – all in a mode that's quite similar to the most uptempo work by ... 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
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
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
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
"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
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
Funky yeah! "Down Home Girl" is an incredible cut by The Coasters – slow as funk can be, when funk wants to be slow – descending bass, drums, and horns all walking around together, like drunken bums stepping between the ties on the railroad tracks – while The Coasters ... 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
A Euro electro club classic that played well on both sides of the fence – offered up here in 2 different mixes – one sparer and more electronic, the other fleshed out a bit more for the kids! 12-inch, Vinyl record
John Davis may have cut a few disco snoozers in his day, but "I Can't Stop" is a monster bit of funk – one that snaps along in a massively breaking club mode – full, yet funky, and rocking with plenty of clavinet over the basslines! 12-inch, Vinyl record
