"Will rock many an unsuspecting dancefloor." NME

"The Various mixes of forthcoming single Round and Around reference 30 years of sonic and moral deviancy; the sweat soaked walls of The Music Box, ESG, the back rooms of SF gay clubs, Grace Jones, Soft Cell, Moodymans tricksy explorations, while rocking a hypnotic minimal groove." iD

"A sublime concoction of digital bubblegum sleaze and wiry oblique electronica, it recalls Electronic meeting Jane Birkin down a suburban roller disco." Jockey Slut

"Midnight Drive is by far the best thing the producer's done, in my opinion. He describes it perfectly as a "pompous, monstrous, comic book techno caricature"; or it could easily be the missing link between Legowelt and Wolfgang Voigt, perhaps even the Doctor Who theme scored by Goblin. Either way, like everything on this label, it's an essential purchase." Piers Martin, Vice
