Moodymann; now there’s a name that needs no introduction, but just in case let’s talk for a minute about the respect and influence a name like that holds.

The guys at Donky Pitch have had an exciting 2013. With releases from the likes of Lockah, Friendzone, Lil Texas, and not to mention the label’s first full length project from The Range, we submit that their time spent flying under the radar will undoubtedly come to an end in 2014.
