“Beltran continues to evolve his signature sound with heavy influences in sound textures from the likes of Kraftwerk and AFX. Gives off an early SAW1 vibe and surely, nobody is complaining about that.”

“Through a mastery of sound sculpting and visionary approach to composition Shenfeld has established herself as one of the most vital voices in Berlin’s New Music scene. Written following a silent meditation retreat and during the first lockdown of 2020, the track transmutes the physical sensations of inner reflection into a classical sonata form.”

“Galloping percussion juxtaposes with a wistful mood on ‘Liberté’ – a title that references a derelict modernist cinema in Dakar of the same name – a hauntological landmark, made more poignant by the its name being part of the French national motto.”

“Plebeian serves up a psychedelic sound system workout designed for deep and explorative club contexts. Shimmering and crystalline yet durable and robust this is fully dosed gear for the session, please use responsibly.”

“Fundamentally it is a discussion for the need of cultivating deeper human and planetary empathy if we are to evolve in consciousness to travel beyond ourselves in mind and soul, and outside the solar system in body.”

“this fresh foray is intended as a tool, a weapon, to be used in the war against worry, and the search for serenity. cleverly counterpoints ringing repeats. Referencing `80s sci-fi scores, while doubling as an outtake from John Beltran`s Ten Days Of Blue, or Detroit Escalator Co.`s classic, Black Buildings”

“one can literally hear Boddy build the complex, intertwining patterns brick by brick before launching out with some inspired solo playing that can only really happen in a live performance.”

“Both consummate collaborators well skooled in the black arts of the bassbin, Berlin’s Deadbeat and Bristol’s Om Unit have spent decades between them immured in the cabs and drivers of various clubs. Leaf takes that darkside flex one step farther with nods to Thomas Fehlmann and The Orb’s psychedelic stylings or The Mad Professor’s Massive Attack dubs”

“After more than 25 years of active absorption of Drum and Bass music, the pandemic finally scrambled my daily life and cellular imprint enough to clear a path for a solo musical contribution. This is a love letter to the genre that has come to define my life for a quarter century.”

“Emerging from an extended stay at Bidston Observatory on the Wirral, using the acoustics of the observatory — the cavernous basement and the geometrically-perfect wooden domes. Finding the language to articulate painful feelings, exhaling, and moving forward.”

“it's an almost perfect example of ultra modern London jazz and is a cosmic voltaic trip to behold as it lingers long in progressive planes and yet races inexorably to peaks of wild cyber-imagination among sliding arpeggios and sweeps of synth, powered by the astral radiation of Sun Ra”

“Their vision of pop is twisted through history and floated on frustration, growth and constant reinvention. It's a unique mix of polar elements - light and dark, noise and silence, joy and melancholy - that centers itself on one important theme: together, we're far more powerful than we ever could be alone. ”

“ Like laying down on the cool morning grass as the clouds pass by and the sun slowly rises. A wonderful trip through some quality downtempo groovers and hazy, blissed out ambiance.”

“Even in a home environment the listener is made keenly aware of the raw elements brought to life by the music- a near constant wind, the inevitable ebb and flow of the tide and the spray that comes with it, the weather-beaten buildings. The shapes of the buildings are implied in the quieter music, where the sea retreats and the piano or an equivalent lone force comes to the fore.”
