Stu J – Gadget

OK, skipping the obscurities for a second and posting a long time favorite 91 track here… Despite being a relatively early tune, there’s quite a few parts in this one. The hip hop amen / combo break down leading to the simple synth drop works every time! Stu J went on to do some more…
