Kate is a weapon on the tools, but mixes in such a way that you know she cares about you and your dreams. Some people may be mistaken to think that Keighto is just a UKG DJ, but becoming a staple in the lermiversa she has proven time after time how versatile she truly is. This mix does it again with tunes ranging from hard hitting Electro to heartfelt pop bangers. Buckle in and enjoy the ride.
