I-Robots present: Gene Hunt – Gene vs Gene EP pt.1 – (Opilec Music)

Recalling Gene Hunt’s initial Chicago heyday from the 1980’s this two track release for Record Store Day comes steeped in timely history, not least because the cover art features a rare photo including the cities Frankie Knuckles.
