Preview: Love Beat presents DJ EZ, Roska & Anushka
DJ EZ is renowned for having some of the quickest mixing fingers in the Wild West, so it’s music to our ears that he’ll be touching down in Brighton tomorrow evening, courtesy of Love Beat. Joining him will be Rinse FM old-gamer Roska, complementing EZ’s quick-fire garage, with flirtations in grime, dubstep, bashment and straight-up house. A name we’re also very pleased to see on the lineup is Brighton’s very own Anushka. Now working towards their debut album on Brownswood, the duo have just aired new song, The Constant, now available as a free download from their Soundcloud. Local talent definitely worth keeping an eye on. Completing the lineup will be Unit7 and DJ Outbreak.
