NYC's finest DJ Spinna comes through on Local Talk with an epic release that might surprise those of you expecting a more traditional Soulful House workout. This time Spinna went out of his comfort zone with a deep warehouse journey that works equally well in dark European House clubs or at the Shelter in NYC.
