Hiphop turning points like The Payoff Mix and The Lessons, The Motorcade Sped On, Nothing To Fear in its entirety, loads of stuff including new work. Postmodern but politically sharp, so totally F-R-E-S-H.

Ace Berlin house, with a chronic case of the Disco Jerks.

Dazzling house-disco cut-ups, saucily steeped in soul classicism.
All-body coitus interruptus, dozens per minute.

It’s a must.

Disco house on heat, school of Ron Hardy.
Disco edits at their most redemptively lethal. First up, Love Hangover…
