[15][16][17] The "Dusty Groove America" record label was started in 2007,[18] to license rare funk, soul, Latin, jazz, and Brazilian titles from Universal and Sony Music.

[36][37] Dusty Groove participates in Record Store Day annually,[38] and has been featured at the Renegade Craft Fair[39] and other open-air markets and street festivals in the Chicago area.

[42][43] In 2013, a website revision was initiated to allow fine-grain search and inspection of product inventory based on genre, format, price, release decade, new vs. used status, and label (in addition to artist name and title).

Newly added products are grouped by genre to permit regular customers to quickly scan inventory changes, mirroring a "new arrivals" bin often found in a typical used record store.

Dusty Groove's staff writes all product descriptions and scans all album and CD covers,[14] providing a unique combination of written and visual information that is generally unavailable from other retailers or online music catalogs.
