"Get Down Saturday Night" is a wicked bit of 80s groove – a warm bubbling number with stepping bass, washes of keyboards, and a hook that just won't quit! The track springs forth with a sound that few other groovers from the time could match – with a soulful finish that's ... (Soul) 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 ...

We've never been sure if Johnny Chingas ever cut a record for Columbia, because we've only known this one on 12" single version, but the cut's strong enough that we'd love to find one if it's out there. A very nice mellow soul groove, with some touches of 80's production, and a sweet soul ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A real classic from Chip E with a wonderfully soulful vibe! Female lead vocals make the tune a fuller, richer one than it might be from just the stark handclap beats and basslines – and Lidell Townsell handles the house remix, which is superb – and really shows his strong ear for a ...

Two tracks from the Toronto hip hop compilation Mad Fiber, with Frankenstein, Kardinal Offishall, and Marvel on "Internal Affairs". (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
The return of CL Smooth – and a nice surprise! We don't know why we should be surprised by CL's still sharp skills circa '05, given the pedigree. That's our problem – but these 2 tracks are problem free, contempory work from a true mic master! "Warm Outside" produced by ... (Hip Hop) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A couple of non-LP numbers from the Clash, cut in '81 during their transition between the hardcore politics of Sandinista! and the crowd pleasing punk-funk of Combat Rock. With some nice dubby disco-not-disco style mixes on the flip side too! (Rock) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Early 80s spiritual disco from Charlie Clemons And The Mighty Power Band – which purportedly included members of Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band – recordings Clemons made in 1980 at Warner Brothers Studios – remixed by Tom Noble! Noble adds no new instrumentation, but ratchets up the ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Another Unkown DJ single, with that LA electro sound: uptempo, chattering 808 snares and vocoded vocals about the "future". (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
One of George Clinton's biggest hits – and probably his last gasp on the charts in a major way. The cut's a logical extension of late 70s P-Funk – with more of the bass-popping 80s grooves and electro touches that Clinton had inspired in so many other funky groups at the time. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Capitol Gold Cuts reissue pressing, in a stickered sleeve with name in pen, index sticker.)
P-funk reigning strong again – as "Atomic Dog" was the song that proved that George Clinton could still funk it up for the 80s! This original 12" single features the 10 minute long version –with plenty of nice instrumental solos to keep up the groove. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A killer moogy club classic! Cloud One were part of the whole Patrick Adams/Peter Brown cluster of groups who used tight club grooves and spacey production styles to forge a legendary disco sound that's finally getting its due these days. This single, the obscure "Patty Duke", is one of ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
A great remake of the original Ruby Andrews hit – done by a later Chicago soul group with a sweetly gliding feel! Coffee take their post-Lovelites sound and wrap it around a nice 80s club rhythm here – a mode that's a bit Philly at times, but also has some lush production that gives ...

The title track of one of the few albums cut by this Chicago dancefloor trio – done in a skipping clubby mode that's not entirely disco, not entirely soul. The track's playful enough to live up to the title – kind of a jaunty groover with nice back/forth action. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
A very cool colored vinyl single – one that presents a limited issue of two tracks from the just-uncovered Both Directions At Once sessions by the John Coltrane quartet in 1963! The single features the great "Untitled Original 11383" – a song with a terrible name, but a ... (Jazz) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Two groovy groovy tracks! You may recognize "La Coda Del Diavolo" from it's recent use in a TV commercial – or remember it, as we do, from Conte's sublime Jet Sounds album – and it's given a great push here by the Karminsky Brothers, who mix vibes, sound snippets, and flutey ...

2 wicked Latin jazz jammers – both issued here for the first time on vinyl! Nicola Conte's beautiful groover "Nefertiti" may well be one of the best things he ever recorded – a midtempo Latinish number that builds on snapping drums, warm bass, and sweet wordless vocals – ...

Early 80s post disco groove – featuring Sylvester on vocals, with a nice, electronic synth sound to the track! You might know Cowley's remix of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" or "Megatron Man", which have the same feel as this club cut. (Soul) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Titles include "Arrive, Arrive", "The Nearness", "A Single Hope", "Purpose (Is No Country)", "Contain", and "Set To Lapse". (Rock) 12-inch, Vinyl record
One of our favorite tracks from the early 80s, with a sort of beeping, bouncing good time boogie track and back and forth rhymes from the Crash Crew over top. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Funky club from Creme D'Cocoa, spelled differently on the label of this single for some reason –perhaps because it's one of their earlier singles done for a side-label at Salsoul, and featuring a great mix of disco and ensemble funk! "Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle" has a midtempo groove ... (Soul) read more12-inch, Vinyl record
