Incognito —
Transatlantic RPM ... CD 
Shanachie, 2010. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Hard to believe it's the 30th Anniversary for Incognito – but Bluey's been at it for that long, and to celebrate, he's having one hell of a party with this record! The album's got way more going on than even a regular Incognito set – even though those are plenty darn great – as ... (Neo Soul, New Grooves) read more CD
Portishead —
Portishead ... LP 
Go Beat, 1997. New Copy 2LP ... $24.99 26.99
There's a nicely cinematic image on the cover of this second album from Portishead – and the sound is very cinematic too – a real genre-setting standard for the kinds of new territory the group and some of their key contemporaries began to explore in the 90s! The overall style is a bit ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Groove Collective —
Groove Collective ... CD Giant Step/Reprise, 1994. Used ... $3.99
The group's first, with production courtesy the great Gary Katz, who's put a fine touch on many Steely Dan LPs. While we were a bit dismissive of this effort at the time, it's kind of become a bit of a watershed in retrospect, the high water mark for the American Acid Jazz scene, if a bit ... read more CD

Re:Jazz —
Expansion ... CD Infracom (Germany), 2006. Used ... $6.99
A bold move forward for Re:Jazz – a record that's even more cohesive than their first few, and which shows them emerging much more strongly as a group! As before, the approach here has the combo offering soulful jazz versions of tunes from the more popular side of the spectrum – but ... read more CD

Various —
Hip Hop 'N Jazz ... CD CEMA, 1994. Used ... $0.99
A pretty strong little snapshot of the better crossover hip hop/jazz sample maestros – circa 1994 – when that subsection of the scene made it's biggest dent on the pop charts. These kind of cuts are pretty much timeless – they sound as great in '03 as they did in '94 – as ... (Hip Hop, New Grooves) read more CD
Bebel Gilberto —
Bebel Gilberto ... CD Ziriguiboom/Six Degrees, 2004. Used ... $1.99
Bebel's second album for Six Degrees – and quite possibly an even better album than the first! Not one to rest on the laurels of her success of recent years, Bebel seems to diverge a bit from the sound of her initial hit – going for a deeper approach to songwriting, and a musical style ...

Quantic Soul Orchestra —
Stampede ... LP Tru Thoughts (UK), 2003. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99 15.99
A landmark album – one that has the beat-heavy Quantic transform into the Quantic Soul Orchestra, for a stunning deep funk performance! The record sounds like nothing Quantic have done in the past – and shares a sound with work from the Soul Fire/Daptone underground, with a tight blend ...

Future Bubblers 4.0 ... LP Brownswood (UK), 2020. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
Gilles Peterson presents the future of music from his very well-regarded perspective – served up here on eight tracks from some real up-and-coming talents on the London underground – working in a blend of modes that's very much in the best Brownswood Records spirit! The tracks move ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Apifera —
Overstand ... LP Stones Throw, 2020. New Copy ... $16.99 17.99
A jazz set, but one that's in a very Stones Throw mode – as the music here mixes jazz elements with more contemporary production elements, and blends together the live and programmed in a mighty nice way! The group's a quartet, most of whom have played on other Stones Throw albums – ... (Jazz, New Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mansur Brown —
Shiroi (180 gram pressing – with download) ... LP Black Focus (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
A fantastic debut from guitarist Mansur Brown – a player you might recognize from earlier work with Kamaal Williams – now stepping out on his own, but with production from Williams on his own label too! Brown's got this incredibly open approach to the guitar – a flurry of styles ... (Jazz, New Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Shiroi ... CD 12.99(Includes download!)
Flying Lotus —
You're Dead! (with download) ... LP Warp, 2014. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $23.99 24.99
Flying Lotus is not only very much alive on You're Dead! – he's as lively as ever – delivering his best, most diverse record to date! The Flying Lotus sound is in peak form here – glitchy beats and spacey keyboards, deftly layered samples, and carrying boundless influences from ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Afronaut —
African Lounge Experience ... CD African Cream, 2007. Used ... $5.99
Nothing too loungey here – and instead, the record's a nice blend of older South African modes and contemporary styles – some nicely mellow grooves from the Afronaut trio! The grooves are a bit downtempo at times, but with a lot more going on than just beats and a few stray sounds ... read more CD

Colman Brothers —
Colman Brothers ... CD Wah Wah 45s (UK), 2011. Used ... $8.99
Jazzy funk and tightly grooving sounds from The Colman Brothers – Mat Colman & Andrew Colman! The Brothers come up with really fantastic modern spin on the late 60s style of European jazz funk figures like Peter Herbolzheimer and the genre-defying, stylistically sprawling greatness ... read more CD
Calibro 35 —
Dalla Bovisa A Brooklyn EP (with comic book) ... LP Tannen/Record Kicks (Italy), 2012. New Copy ... $26.99 28.99
An obscure set of unreleased work from this very cool group – material recorded in New York around the same time as their third album – and issued here as maybe a slight appendix to that classic set! The group's always had a classic cinematic approach to funk – heavy on 70s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited to just 500 copies – and includes comic book!)
Twit One —
Objets Trouvee ... LP Melting Pot (Germany), 2021. New Copy ... $23.99 25.98
Twit One has always had a great way with taking classic sounds, stripping them down, and making them into some really sweet contemporary beats – and that quality really continues here – in a set that's lean, but which has a resonant sense of depth from its roots! Tracks are relatively ... (Hip Hop, New Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Zero Crossing —
My Kinda Funk ... CD Perfect Toy (Germany), 2005. Used ... $1.99
The first full length set from Zero Crossing – an album of stark electronics and jagged rhythms that follows nicely in the spirit of their earlier singles! The sound here is definitely steeped in some of the colder waves coming from the German scene of late – that style that's explored ... read more CD

A sweet set of grooves from around the globe – all the sorts of tracks that Guts plays in his legendary DJ sets overseas – music that's got a much more far-reaching vibe than some of the tracks he issues under his own name!

Blundetto —
Good Good Things ... LP Heavenly Sweetness (France), 2020. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $29.99
The title might seem familiar – given that Blundetto's first album was called Bad Bad Things – but this record really shows a strong evolution of his sound over the ten years since that release – the shifting sense of sound between hip hop, global roots, and more dynamic elements ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Good Good Things ... CD 16.99
Big Boss Man —
Last Man On Earth ... CD Blow Up (UK), 2014. Used ... $9.99
Maybe the coolest record we've ever heard from this mod British combo – a set that gets way past the easy retro references of previous albums, and goes for a vibe that's quite complicated, but still pretty darn groovy! The set's got the look and feel of the best jazzy soundtracks of the 60s ... (Deep Funk, New Grooves) read more CD
Solsonics —
Jazz In The Present Tense ... CD Chrysalis, 1994. Used ... $1.99
Part of a generation of US Acid Jazzers we could never really get behind at the time, this set fares a little better in retrospect. The playing has a crispness about it that we felt lacked edge back then, but betrays a debt to some of our favorite 70s jazz funk on second listen. Includes "Jaz ... read more CD

Sunburst Band —
Joey Negro & The Sunburst Band – The Remixes ... CD Z Records (UK), 2009. Used 2 CDs ... Just Sold Out!
Soaring soul from the Sunburst Band – a 2CD set that's almost even more groove-heavy than some of their previous records!

Compost One Hundred ... CD Compost (Germany), 2001. Used 2CD ... $6.99

Tasty modern Latin grooves – put together by the folks at Easy Tempo, but including selections from a number of other hip labels involved in the same sort of program.

New Jersey Kings —
Stratosphere Breakdown (UK pressing) ... CD Acid Jazz (UK), 1995. Used ... $6.99
Hard hitting funky 45 material – supposedly recorded by a "lost" funk group from the 70s, but actually the James Taylor Quartet playing under a different name!

187 - Music From the Motion Picture ... CD Atlantic, 1997. Used ... $3.99
Soundtrack from the movie 187 starring Samuel L Jackson, which honestly we remember nothing about, but we can say that about most of the films with hip hop related soundtracks. A bit of an odd one – mostly typical score instrumental tracks, but also featuring Method Man "Release Yo Delf ... (Hip Hop, New Grooves) read more CD

Pushin 40, but still sounding great – and the album may well be the best work so far we've heard from Casbah 73! As with previous efforts, the mainman here is Oliver Stewart – handling most of the guitar, keyboards, and beats – plus a bit of vocals too – all in a funky, ... read more CD

Groovy, jazzy space soul soundscapes from Finland's Teddy Rok Seven – led by Teppo Makynen – who's worked with like minded scenesters Nu Spirit Helsinki and Five Corners Quintet – but steps out with an amazingly strong full length! The sound is a bit tough to pin down – it's ... read more CD
