Tropical BBQ 9

Presenting the first of three choice chunks of our Kings Day DJ set in Amsterdam this year. (Kings Day, if you don't know, is a national holiday in NL during which the whole place turns decidedly orange, drinks a whole lot of beer and goes nuts.) 

For the last few years, as part of the festivities, we've been hosting a little secret location sound system party during which we can cut loose and play an extended DJ set covering a whole bunch of bases - sometimes with friends guesting, sometimes (like this year) flying solo for the whole day, dropping as many solid personal favourites as we can along the way, natuurlijk.... 

So here's the first chunk, from early in the day, warming things up with a soulful, skanking, boom-bapping selection of edits, remixes, favourites and classics - hope you enjoy!

Download will pop up in a couple of weeks on the mailing list: https://kleptones.com/pages/contact.html

Or you can get it right now (along with Part 2 & 3 of this mix) if you become one of our awesome support team - Join up on Patreon or Liberapay, and become one of the folks that always gets everything (and more) way before anyone else...

Kings Day Amsterdam 2025 (Part 1)

Hey there, back again with the 2nd chunk from our Kings Day DJ set in Amsterdam this year, this time from mid-way through the day, heading from jazzier soulful sounds into more solid 4-4 territory, mixing some quality oddball grooves from around the world alongside a serious helping of classics and favourites - hope you enjoy!

Kings Day Amsterdam 2025 (Part 2)

Hey there, returning once more with the 3rd and final chunk from our Kings Day DJ set in Amsterdam this year, this time a couple of hours from right near the end of the day, so everything's getting decidedly ravey, but we're still chucking in plenty of favourites and curveballs alongside the remixed and re-edited classics - hope you enjoy!

Big thanks to everyone who came along and boogied with us, it was an absolute pleasure!

Rhino Soulsystem - Beast Mode (Mixtape)

Testo 

Sulle onde col windsurf
Veleggiando verso l'Africa
Nelle orecchie un po' di musica
Io e te

Strade e grandi gallerie
Sotto il sole dell'America
Da domenica a domenica
Io e te

E l'aereo vola via
Sopra i monti, sopra casa mia
Colazione al sole di Bahia
Io e te

Un gabbiano se ne va
Verso l'orizzonte se ne va
Guardo giù le case piccole
Qui con te

Sopra i sogni che vorrei
Sopra un aquilone siamo noi
Dove il sole è un altro, dove vuoi
Io e te
