[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Lilly Palmer continues to unleash some serious techno bangers that seems to cross over to mainstream scenes as well. Hype Boy is her latest weapon with confident banging metallic drums, rough kicks, pounding dark bass and cool stretched dirty vocal samples while on the breakdown the cool Darude infused warped synthy line is added to bring the ultimate havoc and unstoppable hysteria on the dancefloor. The climax is playful, rough, raw and thunderous to say the least. Once again Lilly proves that she is ready to bring techno vibes to mainstages of festivals and club events and drive her crowd insane. #PureBassPower Love iT[/content]
