Wow, just came back from the Kingston Hot Dance with Sentinel and Higher Level in the Rockers 33 Club in Stuttgart.
What else can I say than it was absofuckinglutly crazy! Next Level shit. Sentinel definitly have a big thing going on there, and I advise you to better check a Kingston Hot party fast, cause you won’t regret it.
