This was one of the band's last concerts before taking [...]

J Paul and DJ OB-One comprise HavocNDeed, and their tracks are NdeeD creating some dancefloor havoc. The duo is churning out cuts that are getting spins by bass junkies such as Drop the Lime and Z-Trip, and I’m sure their newest remix of Major Lazer’s Hold the Line will be equally well received.
