'NEW DAY' - THE LOVE ALBUM 2007.
'LIGHT TRIBE' - 2008
"Once they hit you, there’s no getting off the dance floor." – Rollingstone – June 2008
"S+F’s music is the music of New India" – Indian Express – September 1st 2008
"The Light Tribe is packed with futuristic electro-pop that sounds as good live as it does on record." – Time Out – May 16th 2008
"Indie Music Heroes" – Time Out – May 16th 2008
"Irreverent, frenzied yet Shaa’ir + Func employs a method in the madness that accompanies the process of creating music." – The Statesman – September 2nd 2008
"Overall, in many ways, Shaa'ir and Func are the best thing to happen to Indian rock music in a while. And that's because they aren't Indian, nor are they rock. Their vibe is cosmopolitan and truly 'world' without the limitations of generic considerations cramping their style." –SPLIT magazine
"It's a very creative record…we're tipping that it's gonna be big!"
- RAVE magazine re. New Day: The Love Album's 4/5 stars
"Shaa'ir and func is a band that is clearly changing how Indian music is perceived to be…"
– Mid-Day News
"Fusing a mélange of poetry, funk, R&B, electronica, and a healthy side of jazz, Shaa'ir and Func live to serve up the unexpected. Their bridging of the gaps between a plethora of genres is reflected in their first record, New Day: The Love Album."
–Nirali Magazine
"They overwhelm you with their rich, frothy music; there's a flushed up energy exploding through every note. There's an underlying sensual pleasure that the electronic explorations bring you, and though you might be tempted to compare them to other international electronic acts, the chemistry that you can dig into while listening to Shaa'ir + Func is unique. "
–The Record
"Her lyrical quirkiness and his equally wacky approach to music aiming to cut across the urban youth has caught on as a frenzy"
- DNA News
"[Shaa'ir] is killing the cynics with hope, and she doesn't even know it."
– The Rock Street Journal
"A promising new sound"
– Mumbai Mirror
"A very creative record…it's gonna be big!" - RAVE India re. New Day: The Love Album's 4 of 5 stars
"The undergrounds most promising collaboration…"
– The Rock Street Journal

While nowadays it often seems like all the Psy Trance labels either reduce the speed of their releases and turn to more and more body-orientated club sounds or crank up the tempo of their music to rather hectic levels, Solar Tech Records delivers an excellent selection of tunes that keeps the golden mean: With tracks between 142 and 145 BPM the music is powerful, driving and very psychedelic on the one hand but also progressive in the original meaning of the word and does not get stressful or kitschy at any point. For this second compilation label owner DJ Natron extended his network of promising producers from South Africa, Switzerland, UK, Germany and South America and again presents some sparking pearls for original Psychedelic lovers.
Solar Atmosphere trifft genau die selten gewordene Mitte zwischen immer langsamer und minimaler werdendem Progressive Trance und den zur Hektik tendierenden Geschwindigkeiten zeitgenössischer Psychedelic Produktionen: Mit 142 – 145 BPM sind die Tracks auf dieser zweiten Compilation des Labels Solar Tech Records treibend, druckvoll und psychedelisch, ohne jedoch stressig oder gar kitschig zu werden.
