    Selected Reviews: "I would have wagered that "Jivaro" is the nom de plume of Derrick May or Carl Craig when I first heard his tracks (...) The fact that I thought they originated with two of the giants of Detroit techno – and two of the most soulful artists of the genre – should reveal how great these two tracks are." Chain, 5 Magazine, USA. "Irresistible", Greg Clow, ..Grooves.., USA. "This isn't your typical techno fare with hard beats and eerie, industrial meanderings; rather, Jivarodelia is the type of album one expects from an indie label - fresh, exciting and laid-back." Suzan Alteri, Real Detroit Weekly, USA. "Nothing short of an electronic masterpiece" 5/5 Damon Peter Rallis, Privy Magazine, USA. "Pulsey electro somewhere between Richie Hawtin with personality or Green Velvet on Valium" Andrew Lentz, Alternative Press, USA.
