Dr. Levingstone, I Presume

this mix was made over a year ago for house music kindred spirits at the Cocktail Club Soundsystem’s blog. a classic selection of abstract house that attempts to match CCS’s tastes for “sad disco, sounds of Detroit, the “jâcques” house and sweat” with the sweet daddy’s own peculiar slant on dance music journeys.
