Personally, I can't ever have too much Larry heard stuff. He's one of those legendary producers whose prolific career has reached out to so many genres of dance and electronic music. This is his 2004 release, and although my favorite stuff from...   click for more

The 3rd single on Speak Recordings from Henry Maldonado. This former House 2 House member (Strictly Rhythm act that produced "Hypnotize Me" and other hits) has updated his sound, nestling into that NYC soft spot of disco, house, and new wave. "Ever...   click for more

Mr. Chacona is back on the up and coming Speak label with more new disco heat to set off discerning dancefloors. If you're into Metro Area, Baby Oliver, Baby Talk, the recent run of DFA 12"s or the like, you'll be all...   click for more

I always get psyched when I see In Flagranti's name on the Daily. Been a fan of them ever since their wave of retro-porn dirty disco singles last year and have been watching their style develop like a fine wine. From their...   click for more

Going way back here to 1993, "Strong Souls" was originally released on Black Market International. It's a lost (and secret) Detroit house classic produced by Larry Heard that oozes with the early 90s sound, complete with those house keys we're all rediscovering....   click for more

Trust Larry Heard to bring us the absolute best of acid house... "What Is House" is a true acid house track the way they used to be done. It's got sick 303 action, stark old school beats, and sinister vocals commanding you...   click for more

Originally released in 1990, "It's The New" is another Larry Heard classic and actually a true structured song with a catchy chorus and great old school rap by Kriss Coleman. The dub mix here features tons of Heard's beautiful, meandering synths, as...   click for more

Following the popular Bmore club versions of Masta Ace and Young MC classics from Lacrate & Samir, Delicious Vinyl has enlisted more top names to update the immortal "Bust A Move." Highly touted Parisian prodigy Don Rimini leads the charge with his...   click for more

New single from the uber smooth duo Smith And Mudd. "24/7" continues their dedication to their genre bending balearic/folk sound. This track features beautiful acoustic guitars that paint a perfect sunset, while the beat and bass welcomes a dip in the...   click for more

Free Blood sports an impressive resume for an unknown Brooklyn band. This year alone, they've opened up for Hot Chip's latest tour and released this single simultaneously on Rong and DFA. With the male-female chemistry, they remind me a bit of the...   click for more

Unmixed Baltimore club shit! DJ Krames (of Richmond, VA's Cobra Kai crew) cooks up some crazy Baltimore and house remixes for all the fiendish digital DJs. (I thought it was hard to find good Bmore vinyl - turns out it's 10x harder...   click for more

Didn't think it could get any more infectious than the original "Pro Nails," but this o-fficial single release (Kid Sis' first on Downtown- big things) features a straight whomper of a remix from the Bag Raiders! It takes a minute to build...   click for more

This is a greatest hits collection from Paul Winley Records, the pioneering late 70s/early 80s NYC label. The label specialized in soul, funk, disco, and rap with many of their releases blurring the lines between each genre. This is an awesome cross-section...   click for more

Had to consult the Mr Fresh bible on this one (our trusty spiral-bound promo version, bien sur, suckas and japanese), and of course there is both a label scan and a "highly sought-afte" tagline. What else makes these things happen these days?...   click for more

1979 legendary disco rap record from this alias of the Furious Five (Cowboy, Kid Creole, Melle Mel, Mr. Ness, Rahiem). "We Rap More Mellow" strikes immediately with a Cymande-like backing band and the Five's signature tag team style. Comes in 3 versions...   click for more

Freddy Fresh claims that 1979's "Rhymin And Rappin" was the first rap record. That's a separate debate, but what is not debatable is the silkly smoothness of Paulette & Tanya's flow, check the effortless glide over the ultra-funky backing. Flipside here...   click for more

Fiyah! 77Klash (pronounced two seven clash) is the man responsible for the huge riddim on Turbulence's "Notorious" and is finally back with more grimey bass-infused dancehall action. You should know the massive "Brooklyn Anthem" by now (we sold out of the vinyl...   click for more

Minimal Man has been hyping Osbourne for more than a month now, and I have to fall in line and call this some magical shit. From the opening moments of "Ruling," you'll get that warm sunshine feeling that the cover art captures...   click for more
