"Unless you're so cutting edge it hurts, you probably haven't heard of Codebreaker yet -- and we're stressing the word "yet." Definitely one to watch: The sound recalls some crazy house party where Cameo is drinking with Prince, Phoenix is partying with Daft Punk and Bootsy Collins is jamming on the sofa. Fritz has already said the band's "Dream Lover" -- is "the best damn dance song" he's heard in ages, thanks to a rubbery bassline, jumpy guitars and synths that don't overwhelm the vocals.."
"Tight dancefloor songcraft from -- a duo with a real ear for the ultra catchy early 80s post disco groove -- but enough of modern touch to really give it a timeless feel! Codebreaker brings big basslines, insistent beats, and an overall sound that encompasses 80s pop funk, sparkling housey beats, early party rap and computer grooves -- and the actual songwriting is quite strong! Sweet stuff, and a modern riff on the early 80s groove of Nile Rodgers, Atomic Dog era George Clinton, and more."
"It's like Nile Rodgers in his 'land of the good groove' meeting the polished electronics of Hysteria-era Cerrone. Either way, whatever frame of reference you may choose, these guys have put out some of the most original, exciting stuff that I've heard lately. If this doesn't get you up, you might need to get your boogie-senses checked."
"Draws on funk, disco à la Chic, early rap and the protohouse that Chicago DJs love; and on the pop side, its melodies recall such unlikely sources. The party-starter “Exiled!,” the robo-disco of “Are You Ready 2 Love?” and the breathy Brit-funk of “Dream Lover” go down as well in an indie-dance set as on an uptempo house night. The whole enterprise steers clear of irony-laden ’80s amnesia even as it shows that left-field, sophisticated dance can be accessible."
"effortlessly mixes a warm disco house sound into a rather fresh sounding new cocktail of insisting basslines and a guitar that James Brown would've been glad to have as a mainstay in his backing band. Seriously infectious and head bopping."
