Rare groove is defined as very hard to source pop or jazz music.[1] Rare groove is primarily associated with funk, jazz and pop, but is also connected to sub-genres including jazz fusion, Latin jazz, soul, R&B, northern soul, and disco.[2] Vinyl records that fall into this category generally have high resale prices. Rare groove records have been sought after by not only collectors and lovers of the types of music, but also by hip hop artists and producers.[3] Commercially licensed rare groove mp3 is more affordable and new digital technologies allow users more affordable access to the genre, this affordability has brought about a resurgence of the genre in recent years, as evidenced by the inclusion of the term 'rare groove' in the Oxford dictionary.
The term was coined by British DJ Norman Jay[4] after his "The Original Rare Groove Show" on pirate radio station Kiss 94 FM (the progenitor of Kiss 100 London).[5] The show was a collaboration with DJ Judge Jules and featured a mainly urban soundtrack from the 70's and 80's mixed with early house music.[5]
Sampling
Sampling is one of the biggest aspects of hip hop and rap, and these types of records provide breaks for artists to use in their songs.[6] Examples of rare groove samples, such as Eazy E's "Eazy Duz It" (which samples the The Detroit Emeralds, Bootsy Collins, Funkadelic, Isley Brothers, Sly & the Family Stone, The Temptations and even Richard Pryor), can be found in modern hip hop and drum and bass.
