HBS VOL 5 - Evil B & Logan D, Eazy - The More Money Less Problems EP, Hospitality rave, Innovation vs Overload rave



 Evil B & Logan D - H.B.S. Vol 5




Evil B and Logan D have teamed up for what is said to be the last installment of their highly acclaimed HBS series of mixes.  This mix deftly handled by Logan and is full of upfront dnb bangers and some liquid rollers for Evil B's deeper bars.  It kicks off with a humourous  accapella intro which segues straight into Jayline's hit 'Willow'. The tune selection is on-point all the way through, providing a solid, yet flexible base for the many moods and subject matters covered in the lyrics. 

Download the mix free from the link below:
 

 Eazy - The More Money Less Problems EP




DJ and producer Eazy comes with another banging 4 track EP!  All the tracks are dancefloor orientated smashers that will have his fans going nuts from London to Antwerp.  With some high-synth action over sub-bassy rollers, this is dark and trippy, yet fun, stuff.  As with other releases, Eazy shows his hip-hop sensibilities with vocal samples from Wu Tang, Pharoah Monche and the riff from Black Rob's 'Whoa' all used to great effect.
