So why not we let go of the pressure we're all under, even for a moment, and listen to Filipinos DJ/Producer Lawrence Apaga’s "Kings of the Night" featuring Filipino-Dutch singer-songwriter Xerxes Bakker this song will put you in the mood to party while we are all on house arrest missing the world outside.
