Synthetic Substitution
I know this isn’t the pressing on Sunburst, but i’ll gladly take a crisp copy on Contempo any day.
Arcee + Kaewonder + DJ Serious = Cratery 25: Dollarate II
I am really proud to be a part of this monthly podcast called Cratery… Download It Here! What began as a humble, hour long dig-diary is now a vital, vinyl ritual, complete with it’s own cult following, monthly party and award-winning logo. We begin our 3rd year of Cratery with a 2nd. The 2nd official…

Ekambi Brillant – Nayo Nayo
This ain’t worth more than a dollar… just kidding. I spent a lot of my formative years digging in MTL. Back when it seemed like on every random street, you would find a record store that would pop up and then disappear within months, me and the crew would easily come up on Lee Gagnons,…
Lyn Christopher – Lyn Christopher
Excellent Psych-ish/Soul tune on this obscure rock album. Its kinda hard to find and sort of sought after because some of the dudes from Kiss sang backup vocals on it. Back in the day, these were pretty easy to come across, as for the most part, it looks like a pop vocal record. I found…
Melba Moore – Standing Right Here
YES!
The Rimshots- Dance Girl b/w Who got The Monster
One helluva little record. Both sides bang.
The Charmels – As Long As I’ve Got You
The Charmels. I’ve been told that this is one of the Volt Labels rarest 45s, not sure how true this is, since it keeps popping up on eBay… Having said that it does go for some hefty loot. Never the less, I can’t help but to feel proud flossing this beat to shit 99cent find.…
Sylvia – Sylvia
The art work on this LP makes Sylvia seem so messed up. Some good soul tunes though. Bonus:
The Emotions – I Like It
This Staxx/Volt vocal trio are responsible for some classic hip hop material courtesy of thier song “Blind Alley” and are probably best known for the boogie/ disco hits “Best of My Love” and “Boogie Wonderland”. But long before the disco hits, these Chicago born females had some really great soul tunes. This particular song is…
Freddie James – Freddie James
This shit is tight. Found it on a recent digging excursion with my homie Arcee… Freddie James Self Titled LP one solid tune with that typical generic boogie banger sound. Never seen this one before but I always used to see some of his other joints in MTL all the time. Makes sense because this…
The Notations – Super People
Having eluded me for a years now, I finally caved in and copped one of these recently. I just got it in the mail today. I would consider this a fairly well known funk/soul record that has made it to a few compilations and re-issues not to mention having been sampled by early nineties Hip-Hop…
First Touch – Pleasure For Your Treasure
I’ve been keeping this song under my hat for the last little while, but i think these dudes deserve some shine. It’s a current staple in my dj sets and the whole album is nothing short of “tight”. If you like Dam Funk, and 80’s synth boogie, then First Touch will be right up your…
