Paris DJ 1979

our friends from Paris DJ gave us this summer an awesome mixtape, all covers form the early 80’s when reggae and disco where mixed up on the dancefloors and you would sweat the night away in clubs such as Studio 54 in NY or Le Palace in Paris, and if you missed that period, just turn the light don, invite your friends and play that mixtape loud! But beware, it’s going to be hot!
