But I also have to make room for a really cool deep dive underground mini mix, where I found some deep cuts from anything. Fox, the pitch mode, and catch shop boys coming up in a mini mix. And then in the second hour, I'm gonna be bringing you Sinister Disco 18, which is all brand new synthpop, synth wave, and italo dance tracks for one hour at the completion of this show.
