Dj Kicks-- KODE 9
If this isn't a-filed, shit will hit the fan.
All songs super high energy with really great production. DJ Kicks has done it again.
Super trancey with different instruments being used to give it a Latin/salsa feeling.
Read descriptors of some songs above, as they are an interpretation.
1-7 is an entire song 8-15 is an entire song 18- is an entire song,
(18-23) where you are the astronaut that is
exploring a foreign planet.
Picks: 5-6,10-11, 18-20, 28-29,
FCC: 30,31
