MAKESHIFT- THE SLEEPLESS BEAT TAPE

I try not to be a skeptic, but whenever I play something unfamiliar my expectations are usually pretty low.  I spotted this Makeshift mixtape over at Potholes and after I let it play, I did a double take at my screen.  It’s rare that I get this ooh-wee feeling  that leads to an eargasm (see: Sonnymoon). This kid has talent and I like the way his beats switch up. I could hear Ghostface, Jay Elect or MF Doom on a lot of these. Partake!

I present to you Sonnymoon, a great new band from Boston, MA. who’s got a super dee duper ill sound that i see as kin to Little Dragon, r&b Drake, Feist, a little Dap Kings circa Winehouse’s Back To Black…..Incredible.
