Where Octave One and Anthony Shakir checked in with prime examples of freeform techno soul at … Continue reading Khaleel – No Mercy (12″ Promo)
This list came about naturally enough a couple months back, when my sister-in-law Leah decided that she'd like to do a 'top 45 of the '70s' list for her 45th birthday.
