"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. The band's "Dream Lover" -- is the best damn dance song heard in ages, thanks to a rubbery bassline, jumpy guitars and synths that don't overwhelm the vocals.."
"Diamond's voice goes through the occasional spooky high-pitched effect or whirling overdub as she sings about, yes, a "fire"-- "right down in your soul," no less. She sounds as quietly commanding as ever, but the production is the real focus, with g-funk synths, plus funky guitar, rubbery bass, vocoder, and crisp drums that settle into the background except for the occasional Caribbean-sounding fill or castanets. All right, so there's a little fire, and judging by the smoke machines it's burning the world through."
"a group who seem to sound better and better with each new release! "Fire" is a contemporary cut, but one that has a solid 80s groove feel -- bumping beats and keyboard riffs used sparely, and always with a rhythmic approach -- topped with vocals from Kathy Diamond that bring in a nice dose of soul. "RIML" is pretty wonderful too -- a cut with a bit of singing and a bit of rapping, somewhere in a space between Indeep and Wham -- but with the charm of The Flight Of The Conchords!"
"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."
hey can i do you guys a favor? my good friends from france/sweden, are djs and they make sweet remixes. they remixed my song everything we touch turns to gold. but my 2 man band just broke up due to the other one is a attention seeker. anyways they are called the blisters boyz and they are like justice, im sure they are more than happy to remix . they are getting on the scene in europe
