This week's list comes from Michael Serafini, owner of Lincoln Park's Gramaphone Records, and Alycia Ryan, a commercial hip-hop buyer for the store who also spins under the name DJ AMPM.

Sa-Ra, Love Czars II (Ubiquity Records)
The Drastics vs. Michael Jackson, MJ A Rocker
2562, Aerial (Tectonic)
Bop, Clear Your Mind (Med School Music)
Leron Carson, Red Lightbulb Theory, '87-'88 (Sound Signature)
A Work in Progress (Chez Damier and Priceless One), Moment of Truth (Yore)
Daniel Wang, The Balihu Years 1993-2008 (Rush Hour)
Various Artists, Spatula City Swings (Spatula City)
Tevo Howard, Passion Sound (Beautiful Granville Records), which Serafini describes as "deep, deep introspective house music...starting to blow up."
