Mix Sixty One

Mix Sixty One is here and it's another generous helping of funk-heavy grooves to soothe the soul and raise the spirits. Listen out for the very insightful lyrics in 'We Had Enough' by Arnie Love & The Lovelettes, which are as relevant today as they were 33 years ago when they were first penned. Some things never change, huh.
