The story begins in late 2001, as Boogaloo Stu prepared to release his debut single, a homespun sampladelic tune"Rocksteady", initially reworking jazzy elements lifted from Carmel's seminal 80's hit"More More More" fused into a skittering ska rhythm and topped off with Stu's developing lounge croon. The result was quirky and thoroughly unexpected and, in the throes of audacious self-promotion, Stu personally mailed out just 20 copies of the single to national radio stations in a random bid for success. Somehow, without expertise of a UK radio plugger,"Rocksteady" found it's way onto the XFM A-list, and was subsequently championed by Jo Whiley, Rob Da Bank and Huw Stephens on Radio One, to name just a few.Falling short of the national charts by a whisker, this initial flurry of success with"Rocksteady" inspired Stu to get back into the studio to record his debut album"The Glambassador".Available for the first time as a download,"The Glambassador" has been augmented by a selection of remixes from the singles"Rocksteady","Hit 'Em With It High" and"Dynamite!" including ubiquitous mixes from Manhattan Clique, Captain Korg and, erm, Mike Hunt.
