st. che - be my (powerstation)

Video for St. Che's 'Be my... (powerstation), based on the rhythm of Tackhead track 'Heaven on earth' and with heavy Fats Comet influences. St. Che (aka A.J. Johnson) remains somewhat mysterious. He recorded two 12-inches and an album ('Narcotic') with the help of the On-U Sound posse in the late eighties and that's that. Great track though!

Wow! I never knew there was a video for this song. I have owned the 12" version since the latter 80s. This was a club fave at Xcess in Houston Texas during that time. Cool!

A brilliant track, from an absolutely delicious album ... my annual soundtrack to the summer ... stunning, exceptional ... beautiful.. yeah, I quite like it! I've never ever tired of this record

An all time favourite - for reasons I simply can't articulate.

Check out Swelter's review on at Discogs.

But what I'd really like to see and hear is St Che's Exquisite Act.

I can feel a video coming on...

BTW What ever happened to AJ Johnson (apart from the track Caucasian on Hoodlum Priest's brilliant Heart of Darkness; available straight and remixed on the hoodlumpriest

website)

Of all the awesome tunes spun in the Houston night club scene in the late eighties - this has to be one of my all time favorites. Timeless.

YES!! AT LAST !!! I recorded this from John Peels show in 1987, and i've never known who did it. Only took me 23 years to find it :) Many thanks for the info too.
