"As for the main act, the crowd was hype and Big Cats! didn’t disappoint. Fully taking advantage of the curious array of instruments and equipment strewn about before the show, the short but intense set featured a live bassist, drummer, and keyboardist/saxophonist, with the man of the hour sitting comfortably behind a sample board as if conducting the band through his computer screen." -City Pages (Jordan Selbo)
"Recalling the work of J Dilla in its ease of evocation, Big Cats! work is nothing if not atmospheric (as anyone who heard "Black Out on White Night" off Sage's latest can attest to). His latest "Sleep Tapes" succeeds despite a lack of vocals, solely on the strength of its power to evoke a specific state (or specifically, the multiple states of falling asleep, dreaming, and awakening again) in the stark, beautiful language of Hip Hop music... 8/10" -Rap Reviews.com
"... it is this sense of truth that makes his music attractive to the listener looking for something that doesn’t fall into the mold of the surrounding scene. The tracks on Sleep Tapes are a refreshing departure from the normal, and is evidence that you don’t need to ride the Rhymesayers wave to put out a good record." -Above The Fold
"Where others struggle to rise above the mediocrity of the rap sound, this dude floats comfortably above it." -Mill City Scene
"The sounds of Sleep Tapes might remind some of old RJD2 or local sonic wizard Dosh...the album is full of head-nodding grooves, maybe even some to fall asleep to. Just make sure not to sleep on Big Cats." -Justin Schell
"His second LP, Sleep Tapes, is an instrumental hip-hop masterpiece of ethereal dreamscapes, fragile rhythms and euphonic melodies." -Perfect Porridge
"The talent and insight to create a beat is one thing, but the skill to create an environment in one’s mind is something all unto itself - and Big Cats! is such a talent." -Culture Bully
