Lake Of Lights sent me a disgustingly short but promising beat tape called “Razmataz” . The last two minutes of the second track consists of nothing but the sound of tape hiss. I was kinda pissed off about that until I heard the third track. Good start but next time I need a least 5 beats and between 10 to 15 minutes of beats. “Only Knxwledge can get away with what Lake Of Lights just pulled!” I thought. Until I RE-READ the email and found out that the entire beat tape was on SoundCloud. Don’t sleep…
