Might have been posted already (let's face it - most of the good ones have!), but classic house music from Masters at Work:

Superb Lapolpora,
Brings back some memories of great times during that period.

Great thread.! Thanks to all who've contributed. Shame some of the earlier links seem to have died but still plenty of excellent grooves to enjoy. I was supposed to be rehearsing at home but have ended up grooving with lots of these tunes instead.

Here's a couple more. No idea if they've been posted before but I'm only up to page 7.

The intro/outro on this is just the fattest groove ever.

This next is more laid back.

Thanks especially for the Mandrill. I almost thought they were forgotten, and had almost forgotten them myself. Loved Mandrill the song when it came out.

best,

For those who like their groove laced with Hammond...

Try some Jimmy Smith. I suggest Root Down from The Incredible Jimmy Smith live album.

Pleasure :-) Mandrill were a real discovery for me when someone introduced me. There are so many top tunes in their catalogue. I'll have to dig out some more to post up when I get time.

While I'm here, how about Peck Ya Neck from the Solid album?

Modern gospel is where it's at. I wish I could play with a drummer like this one....

Normal service resumed...thankfully.
Some very odd definitions of funk or groove by some people, IMO

[ScreencastTutor]

Well groove can be pretty much anything surely

No, it can't... there can be different nuances, but you need to be on the same page...and some on this page just....aren't.
