That's a spooky cover on this single from Hiatus Kaiyote – and they definitely bring some of that energy to the title tune "Canopic Jar" – a track that begins with a bit of a horror introduction, and moves into some of the eeriest funky soul we've heard from the group!

Remixes of "You Never Knew" from the 3rd Eye Vision LP. Unlike some of the tracks from that LP, this one captures all the things that made Hiero dope back then, with production by A-Plus and remixed by Domino. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Hieroglyphics team up with Goapele for the soulful "Make Your Move". 9th Wonder does a remix. "Love Flowin'" is another nice tracks with its own alternate mix, this one by Hiero all star A Plus. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a stickered Hiero sleeve, with marker through the barcode.)
A really different take on Loleatta Holloway's "Love Sensation" – a version that's totally cut up and reworked by Marshall Jefferson, into a style that's almost a pastiche homage to the track – and Loleatta in general! "Dr Love" is handled in a similar style – ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
The a-side hardly needs any introduction from us, an uplifting disco cut, with soaring, string-laden Gamble & Huff production, and the sort of mainstream appeal that's kept it in constant roatation for years and years! "Fancy Dancer" is from the Comodores heavier funk years, off the ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record

Massive stuff – and one of the greatest tracks ever recorded by Al Hudson! "Spread Love" has a full burning spiritual sort of groove – with a long intro that keeps on coming, and some great moogy bits that soar towards the heavens with the strings before the vocals come into ...

Chicago house maestro works some real magic here with the vocals of Jill Scott – opening up here already-great tunes with some extended clubby modes that really send the whole thing over the top! The collaboration's a perfect one – we love Terry's work, but dig him especially when he's ... (House Music) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A rare 12" single with one of Willie Hutch's greatest tracks! The driving funky groove of "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" was one of the best things about the film The Mack – and the cut's been a classic for years with just about everyone, from funk fans, to hip hoppers, to early ...

(White label promo pressing from 1982, in a Motown sleeve – which has a small sticker, promo stamp, and a small bit of red pen.)
A very strange club groover from Leroy Hutson! The tune's got a popping bass-heavy approach that's a bit like some of his last work for Curtom – but it's also got a smoother production style that's a bit in the LA club mode of the time. Added to this is Leroy's vocals, done with processing ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Probably the biggest hit ever by Imagination – a smooth modern stepper with a definite 80s groove! The hook made it a big one for them – and when you hear it, you'll hear why! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Maybe a bit goofy, but now a classic club track that's survived the test of time nicely as just about every DJ's theme song, with a monster scratchy guitar riff, and lots of that rolling bass pedal groove that was so popular in the early 80s. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
The other single from one-hit-wonders Indeep. The cut has almost the same feel as "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life", with an insistent beat and a propulsive bass pedal, and a sort of chirping funky guitar line, but at a slightly slower tempo. The scratch versions don't actually have ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
4 mixes of this classic bit of Detroit Techno – going over the top, into the mainstream, thanks to the lasting genius of Kevin Saunderson! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Reese Sunderson's moving into slightly uplifting territory here, with nice soulful vocals over this house-y number that only really qualifies as techno from it's pedigree. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A great remake of the Wet Willie hit – one that's got a soaring, strutting clubby feel that's totally wonderful! The tune's a superb anthem from the old days – and although the hook's a bit commercial, it still sounds plenty great to us after all these years! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
The first volume of this series was so popular, they've gone and done it again! This second volume of remixes follows very closely in the spirit of the first – in that it takes classic Motown work by The Jackson 5, and expands the grooves of the tracks with work by some of today's strongest ...

A 7:00 version of this nice track from their Destiny LP, which was self produced, but definitely has some of the vibe that helped their earlier Gamble & Huff produced tracks to the next level, with mainstream R&B appeal and a nice bouncing club/roller skating friendly rhythm.
