Moving On - Footage of Love On The Run DJ'ing live at Love Rescue



Thanks to Zernell for posting this. You can't see anything save for the red light of the exit sign, and some bodies moving around, but at least you can listen. There is some good background party noise in there too, reminds me of a Marvin Gaye record.

Whoah, what a crowded party that night! Lots of people came out, and there were great sets spun by all! Mega special thanks to Zernell for trooping out with a heavy bag of records for this party.
