Gate Kicks! is looking forward for the British Summer

Hey Gate Kickers!!! MC Top Richie, 2 Decks, Labake and Mr Amazing are looking forward for the British Summer... our weird mix of all seasons in just one day ... hahaha, now we should stay local enjoying this beautiful island remembering the uninterrupted sunny days abroad. 2 Decks also paid tribute to his friend Leon aka LM Dubz who passed away last year 2020, so we listened to their famous track Coffee Dub with Leon on bass and keyboards at the legendary Sausage Studios. After the lockdown everybody is getting back together so we played couple really beautifulL tracks "REUNITED" and "POSITIVELY DELIGHTED" by Labake, MC Top Richie and Mr Amazing. We suggest you to wear your shorts, socks and sandals, grab a cold beer, go to your front or back garden, take a seat under the sun put headphones on your ears and have a trip into you mind for 30 minutes listening to another HOT episode of Gate Kicks!
