"Lovely album well done!"
"A great album from an excellent producer".
Gilles Peterson
"It's simple: I am very much into your music!"
Michael Rutten (Soulsearching/Compost Radio)
“2 and 8 are my faves to play out...but love Lights On’ and loads of the atmospheric stuff...a truly rare thing these days, a modern space jazz album made well, not too derivative of anything, diverse and not too tricky. It's great! Well done to all 9/10”
Domu
"Very very nice bro, playing it in the car today..."
Marc Mac (4-Hero)
"Space" is the place - Beautiful album Nick!!!!!"
Simon Harrison (Basic-Soul Radio)
“Feels like i have been waiting for this album for ages. so in love with the Emanative sound. sure i know the "hits" here already, but as they are timeless, they still give me goosebumps. and i am glad the whole album is not only uplifing but also takes diverse changes and twists minds. Contender for album of the year”.
M-Path-Iq
“Nice one... I really like it.”
Ben Lamdin (Nostalgia 77)
“Well into this album... really good I think! Thanks!”
Snorre Seim
“This is fantastic!!! who's involved in this project? is that Deborah on vox on Stars Colide? I'm putting We Travel The Space Beats on my next Jukebox mix.”
Elias Kassatly
“I really love this album. Great work!! Will get much love on the radio show.”
Jason Palma
“To me this just one of the albums of the year !!! Thanks so much for sending in !!! Will support this for real !!! A+ !!!
Markus Milz (Further in Fusion/D.Construction)
“An album I have been very much looking forward to and boy does it deliver! Wonderfully diverse... so many great tunes... from "Illusions" to "We Travel The Spacebeats" to the outstanding "Low Motion" and more. Essential!”
Gregory Clifford (Son Of Soul)
“Some great creative music on here, a great effort, and worth waiting for”
Steve Cantor
“Wonderful album! All of it. Really fantastic stuff start to finish. "Low Motion" takes the prize as THE tune for me followed by "Lights On" but they're only just shading it. Congrats to you for putting it out and big, big praise to Emanative for creating such a delightful piece of work. More of this...please!!!”
Stuart Chalk
"Cosmic keys, deep, earth bound beats, dream-like vocals. Didn't think I'd find a single favourite in amongst all the incredible magic here but suddenly...Low Motion got an immediate rewind. Massive stuff. Oh my! I LOVE your album Nick. Heavy."
Scrimshire
"Listened to your album, very groovy and positive vibes in a spacy environment"
LeFtO
"Space" is a fine example of how the worlds of jazz and soul know no bounds; unlimited "Spaces," as it were. Infused with the spirits of the past, cultivated in the present with a well-assembled quartet of creatives (and guests), and destined for a future of smile for miles."
Velanche Stewart (Urban Landscapes Radio)
"You have truly outdone yourself on this one, brother. Epic yet subtle. The breath of life flows through this album, from a whisper to a scream!"
Jeremy Sole (KCRW)

This is the review in DJ Magazine...
Kaleta & Akoya Afrobeat The Spirit Of Fela Is Alive & Well Mukatsuku Records 4/5 An explosive slice of Afrobeat from Kaleta gets the licensing thumbs up from Mukatsuku, who finally get this gem to the Fela faithful. Originally clocking in at over 14 minutes, its been chopped virtually in half to add more punch and immediacy, whilst on the flip Guynamite and label boss Nik Weston add a more contemporary boogie house twist to the original, in doing so losing none of the vitality or the 'Fela' essence.
