Erkut Ta??kin, "Sevmek ??stiyorum"

Are those mixes (A-R Series) around for sale or download anymore?
some of yall have BPM issues.

The first time I heard this shit, I was at an All-Nude Skripper Bar on 22nd St.
The ladies were allowed to play whatever songs they wanted for their "featute".
The DJ put this shit on and this slinky sister got on stage and grooved to this.
