A really great number from Kleeer – one of the group's standout early singles, and a track with a slightly warmer feel than some of their later work! There's a playful dancefloor funk approach at the bottom of the groove – bass and percussion messing around while the straighter lyric ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Three classics from KMD off the amazing "Mr. Hood" LP. "Nitty Gritty" features Brand Nubian and the remix is even doper, with new lyrics from Busta Rhymes and all new music, making good use of the "Was Dog A Donut" sample. "Plumskinzz" uses more mellow ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Sweet jazz funk from 70s Finland! "Boots & Roots" is a wonderful groover from the group of saxophonist Eero Koivistoinen – a snapping groover with guitar on the rhythms, and freewheeling solos on soprano sax from Eero, plus some great solo work on piano! "Roots & ... (Jazz) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
The real star of this single is the jazzy instrumental flip, produced by Eumir Deodato like the rest of the album, with a wonderful breezy feel that reminds us a bit of nice Mizell Bros production. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Before the LL Cool J and Canibus battles on wax there was LL vs. Kool Moe Dee. "Let's Go" is one of Kool Moe Dee's entries in the battle, with some good punchlines, and is one of his best later tracks. Released around the time of the "How Ya Like Me Now" LP, never made it on ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Amazing production as always from Premier that works nice with the more laid-back flow KRS adopts on this one from the "KRS-One" LP. B-side features Das EFX. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A great little single on TEC – and a unique record that seems to cross east coast hip hop with GoGo percussion! Lady B's not the greatest MC in the world, but the record's got some excellent backing that features funky guitar over hard-riffing percussion – hitting in that flat, ...

A great little groover on Brunswick – with that kind of choppy club funk feel that you'll also find on some of the label's other obscure 12" singles, like the classic "You Are The One", by AMFM. The track's got a very nice groove – and the hook's enough to keep the track ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A great little ep of tracks from Joe R Lewis – one of the lesser-known figures of the Chicago house scene of the 80s, and an artist who had a sound that presaged some of the New York styles of the late 80s and early 90s. The set's got a nice moody feel overall, and features 6 tracks that ... (House Music) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(Original blue label pressing. Labels have minimal wear.)
A whole gang of mixes of this great commercial house track, from the early 90s, when it seemed as if house was really poised to take over the world. (House Music) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has bumped corners and is bent a bit at the edges.)
A really great remake of the Brazilian classic "O Ronco Da Cuica" – presented here with vocals from original writer/singer Joao Bosco – and done in a stretched-out, very jazzy take that runs for over nine minutes! Dudu Lima brings in plenty of bass, next to piano, percussion, ... (Brazil) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
(2022 RSD pressing – still sealed with hype sticker.)
Seminal work from Liquid Liquid – one of the coolest, funkiest groups on the New York scene at the start of the 80s! The approach here is a blistering blend of different percussion modes – from batucada jamming to funky drums – all tied together with these basslines that really ...

A lesser known West End track from singer Shirley Lites – a hook-heavy number with a lot of electro keyboards in the mix – a really nicely percolating feel on the remix! (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
