Monika Kruse meets Pig&Dan 'Sensation'

Wait for the drop… Simple, but highly effective.

Rugged business from Avalon with her second entry in the top techno tunes of the year. This one comes from another dimension to wreck havoc on planet Earth.

Released late in the year, this one’s going to carry on smashing up 2017 and beyond.
