FRIENDS DAY: L.EAZY and QBA

When we talk about friendship, L.Eazy and QBA are indeed some of the best pals who have been selecting both good and better music together for decades. This time, too, all the best from wall to wall.

L.Eazy, or Liisi Ree, has been playing music since 1997. Her first gigs were in Pärnu at Green Soling, Waldhof Music Factory, and elsewhere, and later on in Tallinn while studying, also in the capital. In Tallinn, L.Eazy met To-Sha and QBA, with whom she has been hosting the drum'n'bass series and radio show TJUUN IN (Radio 2, Fridays from 22-00) since 1999. L.Eazy was chosen as the R2DNB Best drum'n'bass DJ of the Year in 2007. She has also released two compilations “Eesti drum'n`bass vol 2” and “Eesti drum'n'bass vol 3” under Reliis Recordings and produced some tracks together with To-Sha and QBA. In the summers of 2022 and 2023, she hosted the radio show Bestikad, where L.Eazy invited various Estonian electronic dance music creators to talk about the evolution of the scene. Thematically appropriate music was also played.

L.Eazy has been named the First Lady of Estonian drum and bass, but her musical scope is not limited only to drum'n'bass music. Having completed her piano studies as a child at the Pärnu Music School, sung in various choirs, participated in one of Estonia's first hip-hop dance groups, and having followed the former music channel MTV extensively, her musical scope is broader and sometimes her selection can also include house, techno, electro, breaks, and other styles.

DJ Qba (also known as The King of the Jungle), an artist, a jungle music fan from Estonia since the mid-90s, and a key figure in the local drum and bass music scene, is one of the residents of the Vibe series drum and bass room, and one of the organizers of the Circulation and Tjuun In series and radio show.

QBA is, of course, not just a DJ or known radio voice; Martin can handle the brush masterfully and in the context of events and nightlife, Martin beautifully speaks in a 2017 article: “Art and club music, which have gone hand in hand for me for many years, have been rather separate things for many others that do not fit together. I have felt that people do not take me seriously as a DJ because I am an artist, and vice versa - do not take me seriously as an artist because I am associated with music circles. Everyone expects and assumes seriousness in these fields. Serious drum and bass are not associated with art. Serious art is not associated with the music I play. Fusing these two seriousnesses has, in some sense, been the fruit of my 20-year work.”
