Ingenuity + Grand Cherokee

You'd be surprised what can be made with an old Jeep Grand Cherokee, a couple of mics, and one crazy crew. Acting as ringleader to this entourage, Julian Smith has actually created a pretty cool electronic beat using sounds only coming from the car with the help of his fellow...
