Disc Breaks with LlupaDisc Breaks with Llupa – 155 – ft. Peter Paul & Frank Lozano – 04/04/11Back again with another top notch guest mix – this week it’s not just one artist, but two! Peter Paul vs Frank Lozano in a bit of a N-Mity Records showcase bringing their unique style of tech groove breakbeat to the Disc Breaks show.
I’ve been a big fan of Peter Pauls and the N-Mity sound, and then more recently Frank Lozano. The N-Mity sound for me is always drivin’ tech, but with a groove that really hits the spot and this mix really showcases what all 3 parties do so, so well.
