In the immediate aftermath of the disco boom, dance music went back underground in New York and started to experiment. Funk, electro, soulful divas and early hip hop all mixed together at clubs such as the Paradise Garage, forming the roots of the dance explosion that would see hip hop, house and Madonna take over the music world. Taken from two of the main New York-based labels (Vanguard and Spring) who had their fingers on the pulse, Aces gathers 10 examples in their original full-length versions. The CD includes Fatback discovering rap and electro, plus one-off 12"s by unknowns such as C Brand. Features Fonda Rae, King Tim III, Busta Jones, MC Flex & FBI Crew and others.
