Rare Groove

Rare groove is a music genre that thrives on the rediscovery of overlooked and underappreciated funk, jazz-funk, and soul records from the late 1960s through the 1980s. It encapsulates a variety of deep and infectious grooves that range from the intricate horn-driven funk of bands like Maceo And The Macks to the smooth, organ-infused jazz-funk of artists like Reuben Wilson. These tracks often feature extended instrumental solos, breakbeats coveted by hip-hop DJs, and a rich interplay of rhythm and melody that defies the standard radio hits of their time. The genre's resurgence in the 1980s and 1990s club scene owes much to DJs and collectors who dug through crates for these lost gems, creating a subculture of music aficionados dedicated to the preservation and celebration of these rare cuts.
