About Rare Groove

Rare Groove
Deep cuts. Soulful vibes. Timeless flavor.

Rare Groove is more than a genre — it's a crate-digger’s dream. Emerging in the 1980s UK club scene, Rare Groove celebrates obscure, overlooked, and ultra-smooth tracks from the golden eras of soul, funk, jazz-fusion, R&B, and disco.

💿 The Sound:

  • Warm analog textures

  • Soulful vocals & smooth instrumentation

  • Funky basslines, dusty drum breaks, and lush arrangements

  • Often sampled in hip-hop, house, and neo-soul

🎧 Artists & Influences:
Roy Ayers • Leroy Hutson • Minnie Riperton • The Blackbyrds • Don Blackman • Ramp • Gwen McCrae • Pleasure

🌀 The Vibe:
Chilled yet groovy. Nostalgic yet forward-thinking. Perfect for lounge sessions, DJ sets, vinyl nights, and anyone chasing that soulful deep cut that hits just right.

Rare Groove is soul rediscovered. Not just music—you feel it in your bones.
