GAZ

Gaz was a disco project headed by keyboardist Thor Baldursson, who wrote or co-wrote much of the material as well. His main collaborators were guitarist Mats Bjoerklund and producer Jürgen Korduletsch. Their lone LP, a self-titled affair, was released on the renowned Salsoul label in 1978; its key track was the 12" single "Sing Sing," which was later sampled by numerous breakbeat-loving hip-hoppers. ~ Steve Huey
