The Fat Beat Diet, May 2nd

With the unfortunate passing of DJ Eazy Rock, we had to take a moment to celebrate the man responsible for one of the most sure-fire hip hop club bangers of all time.

After a pretty wicked bad mix out of Pal Joey, we moved into midtempo stuff and string of disco heat, followed by some golden era. After that I figured I should play some current hip hop that’s been turning my crank these days.

As we moved into the second hour of another extended edition of the show, I figured I’d venture into Dubble Bounce territory with some bass music, and we kept it there for a little while before slowing it back down for some classic downtempo from the likes of Portishead, Sade, and Massive Attack. The vibe stayed pretty mellow for the rest of the show.
