French Connection - 70s Disco & Space Disco From France
"Parlez-vous français? Unnecessary - this mix contains only one track in French language.
I would like to take you on a journey into the 70s, namely to France.
Many of these tracks & producers flooded the clubs around the world back then.
Have fun diving into the time of the French disco productions of the 70s." (R u m p e L)
