As an integral part of Broken Social Scene, and now as one of third Eight And A Half - who play their first UK shows this week - Justin Peroff is clearly a man who knows his way around a beat. We asked him to make us a mixtape to get us in the mood for their show on the DiS stage at The Great Escape this week, and this is what came back...
“"This mix of forward-thinking-future-beat instrumental hip hop started at all things J Dilla. Jay Dee. James Dewitt Yancey. His left side leaning mentality of hip hop production has changed the way beat makers approach their art, forever. This neck brace required mix of 30 plus producers will take you on a journey through a swung-bastic universe of synth's and slaps. I truly, madly, deeply cannot get enough of this shit. "”
