Press Reviews
"A smooth beat opens us up to this track. A quick scratch and our beat speeds up some, and we get a few road sounds, horns, a siren. This track seems rather minimal. It's actually quite interesting. A fine piece of experimentation. Making beats from whatever rolls our way. Not quite on the level of some of the other sampling I've heard, but a brilliant attempt. Also I think it may be some of the first assembled melodies I've heard. Everyone is always putting together beats, or background noise from their samples. I think this is fresh breath from that." - Review of "Lost in the middle of nowhere",""hey i was listening to your music and it kicks. well i really like sneaking out for a smoke." - dara, "You have an awesome music and I'm just dld-ing it now. I love your " Bomb " song and I'm writing to you from Yugoslavia" -Lana, Hydrochloride (How I Learned to Love the Bomb): Nice airport samples at the beginning, and AWESOME beats. To be perfectly honest, this is another song that will have a shot at hitting top honors. Very very fast and very very good is all I have to say." - DJ Wicked, from his recent electronic contest (i beat ShapeShifterUK in the first round), Tundead the space alien gave "Sneaking out for a smoke" a 6.5, "I dig your groove brotha!" - deae mae, "I loved your stuff I found..." - pam, "Ha ha, love the bassline in Satan Invented Disco." - dave pape, "I love yourtunes. especially sneaking out..." - soundscape 242, "YOUr stuff is PRetty phat." - odogfx |
