"Their trippy tracks of electronic bliss may, more than any other part of your body, make your mind dance."
- The Shpiel(FL.)
"It’s hard to pass off Oddknock’s arsenal of soulful yet digital mayhem as anything less than a modern insurgence through a jungle of large, lily-pad snare drums, deep, resonant bass vines wrapped around tree trunks of tribal funk, and a bright blue sky that calms while reminding you of its ability to change color at any second."
- Reax Magazine(FL.)
"Remember when “unplugged” shows were all the rage? Take the electricity away, and you find out what the artist is really made of. Well the equivalent for Electronic artists is ditching the laptop and backing tracks and just getting Funky with synths, samplers and sequencers. Oddknock is a proud practitioner of this “old school” form, and his music is all about giving props
to the originators of what would become Techno.You will dig his music if you like:Meat Beat Manifesto, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher. "

Damn, dude! It was truly a pleasure meeting you and seeing you perform. You're one of the nicest and most talented people i've met. Your music had me dancing the whole time, or at least trying to. I accidentally tore my Oddknock shirt a bit on the sleeve's seam. And instead of putting it in the "to-be-fixed pile," i got out the needle and thread and sewed the tear closed, -just to be sure i can sport the shirt of the electrockstar, and let everyone know i'm a huge fan of Oddknock. Looking forward to working with you in the future.
