Press Reviews "proof positive that german voodoo works.tristan dee is everything i hate about music from germany: it’s so damn fucking catchy and funky. it’s like they’ve got some sort of algorithm for making music, like x+y^2=silly americans shakingtheir booty. anyway, this is really great progressive house stuff. when dj keoki announced the release of his (highly disappointing) ego trip LP back in the day, this is the kind of stuff i wasexpecting. super funky music that should be played at places calling themselves discotheques." tal / raw42 music (june 99) - www.ward42.com. "The '70s-inspired German duo Tristan Dee and Andreas Rimmele cultivate dense house lightly washed with acid. Carefully side-stepping the more strutting forms of funk, soul, jazz and hip-hop, Tristan Dee mingle slow, atmospheric, watery effects and deep-space sounds with muffled hi-hats and thumping beats to create dream-like soundscapes. Vocals include soul, rap and dub stylings, tampered by minimal distortion and turntable showmanship. Funky basslines and guitar riffs, tropical rhythms, twinkling melodic hooks and hypnotic, trance-inspired structures flow at a smooth and steadyclip. These warm vibes, sauteed with sweet and sour disco flavors, make house grooves that are perfect dancefloor fare." www.listen.com "Viel schichtiger gehts kaum mehr. Hier probiert eíner gekonnt die Genres zu verwischen. HipHop mit Jazz/Funk. Dub mit Disco. Slowbeat trifft auf das hecktische Gewirr New Yorks. Glasgow Underground reicht sich die Klinke. Und Mr. Acid ist auch schon da... 10.06.2000 Dust on Feet über Tristan Dee Hier wird das Equipment voll ausgenutzt. Real Instruments treffen auf Technics SL 1210 Player, Fender Jazzbass, Trompete und Saxophon und Synthis. ein gelungener Stilmix. Egal ob Acid, House/Funk oder Dubdisco. Jeder Song ein Treffer ( 6 ). Ich hätte theoretisch jeden Song nehmen können um ein Feature zu schreiben, so vielseitig ist dieses Projekt. Aber vielleicht findet sich ja durch die Resonanz jetzt auch ein Scout Kollege, der meiner Meinung ist und dieses Projekt fördert. Es wäre verdient ....und jetzt anhören." Dust On Feet @ Besonic.com
