There was one irrepressible Chicago club act that refused to be replaced by any DJ's sound system. Maxx Traxx (and Third Rail before them) were a scene unto themselves in the early 80s.1. LP1: Don't Touch It! 2. You ; I 3. Tell Me 4. Time Has Come 5...

'There Was A Time' was best known to rare soul fans as 'Our Love Is Dying' by Kae Williams, even being given a fake Treasure Island label for some YouTube clips. The truth is it was an unissued tape find that was illicitly passed on to soul aficionados...

There is little information available about the band, but the "Living Funk" documentary changes all that. Now the music does the talking here with the extremely rare, no-nonsense funk jazz instrumentals "Let Your Mind Take The Place of Your Body" Parts 1...

Thee Marloes give us with another killer of a two-sider while they finish recording their debut album. The A side "Logika" is a laid back tune about where the head and the heart meet and how they often don't see things the same way. Natassya Sianturi's...

The world moves faster than ever these days, and even in the digital age, things can always be counted on to go in cycles. Despite all of the advances in computer recording technology, home studios, and electronic instruments, there is a flourishing...
