Heralds of Change Samurai FM Interview (Amsterdam 2007)
"Great new record by Mike Slott and Hudson Mohawke aka Heralds of Change. Six productions with killer drums, fresh programming and clever vocal chops, going from banging boombap sort of tracks like 'Work that', serious head-nodders like Winery' or 'Asswank' and deeper excursions like 'Future' or 'Amuse'. Tip!!" RUSH HOUR
"Ireland's Heralds of Change crew continue to blow us away with their next level beats on this instrumental six tracker. After a couple of promising vocal collaborations they do the decent thing and let their beats do the talking with six tracks of future funk pitched somewhere between J Dilla, Sa-Ra and Aphex Twin - if these guys had a 313 zip code certain big name radio DJs would be felating them on air by now! Its all good wonky stuff, I'm particulary feeling the pacman / Madlib mash up of the last track!" FAT CITY
"The highly prolific production duo Heralds Of Change return with their new EP 'Puzzles' on All City Ireland. This time the duo shine via 6 hot instrumentals delivered with a peng electronic flava. Dropping their trademark lo-fi choppy electro-thump that fits somewhere between Dilla & Giorgio Moroder. Mohawke & Slott are producers that we definitely need to be watching, as their beats have their own distinctive style but still incorporate influences from some of ya favourites..." SUSPECT PACKAGES
