Bullion, Mixed Up In Love II Mix MP3

As if he decided that there was no better place to be than sad, stoned and alone in Philadelphia in 1978, UK producer Bullion’s Mixed Up In Love mix is his low-toned predecessors all lumped together for maximum wallowing, like when you are bummed but you own it and then all of a sudden you made a sweet painting or did a bunch of ketamine and didn’t feel bad about it, because fuck it, it’s your life and do what you want.
