"Their trippy tracks of electronic bliss may, more than any other part of your body, make your mind dance."
- The Shpiel(FL.)
"It’s hard to pass off Oddknock’s arsenal of soulful yet digital mayhem as anything less than a modern insurgence through a jungle of large, lily-pad snare drums, deep, resonant bass vines wrapped around tree trunks of tribal funk, and a bright blue sky that calms while reminding you of its ability to change color at any second."
- Reax Magazine(FL.)
"Remember when “unplugged” shows were all the rage? Take the electricity away, and you find out what the artist is really made of. Well the equivalent for Electronic artists is ditching the laptop and backing tracks and just getting Funky with synths, samplers and sequencers. Oddknock is a proud practitioner of this “old school” form, and his music is all about giving props
to the originators of what would become Techno.You will dig his music if you like:Meat Beat Manifesto, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher. "

Stained Glass Window is one of my favorites. On "No Lives Left", is that a bit of Metroid 2 and Tetris? Great use of NES and GameBoy (?) sounds, guys. Awesome stuff.
Forms in Flux A jarbled mix of everything, Forms in Flux takes on most genres out there right now. There’s electronica, hip-hop, spoken word, Americana bass lines and anti-government angst, all topped off with some singsongy “Ring Around the Rosy.” While nobody seems to be left out … what the hell is going on here? C.B. Sounds like : the Chemical Brothers ran into an unplugged Trent Reznor, then plotted to smack the taste out of the Flobots’ mouth—but the Roots won’t let ’em
