PRESS: "FOUR STARS. Breaks,house,reggae, exotic vocals...Shinjuku Zulu is a cd that warrants repeated listens" -MONTREAL GAZETTE
"FOUR STARS. Sheer brilliance, haunting vocals...top ten CDs of the year" -THE GLOBE & MAIL
"' ...high tech boom cut with voodoo...the most casually efficient encapsulation of culture clash we've ever heard... 'Shanghai Masai' .. featuring Shankhini, is stark skittering electronic hip hop [that segues from] M.I.A. to Prince..." - Anti-Hit List "The best new music outside the mainstream" -TORONTO STAR
"Impressive...create[s] three-headed songs by grafting cultures onto collaged beasts that growl with different tongues..."Be My Woman Be My Man" comes replete with DFA grooves and Herbert snorts..."We Do Supersonic" and "Dirty Liar" will have your dance floor moving..."Rainbowbeau" sees Larissa Gomes bouncing her voice off soft clouds of pizzicato strings...my favorite is "Make Me Shake" [with] sentences that say so incredibly much with so little...as devastating as anything else this year...often surprising... Make Me Shake, Da Riddim Griffin, and Coal Coal Black [are] fantastic." -COKEMACHINEGLOW
"...especially ambitious trans-continental mash-ups...melds components elegantly into compositions that sound surprisingly natural...great moments, like when "Make Me Shake" leaps from synth-shamisen-encrusted grime-pop to reggae to tango, "Dirty Liar", the surprisingly listenable country-electro-hip-hop number ("Chemical Brothers, Dust Brothers, O Brother, quips the song's ven diagram), astonishes when it slides seamlessly all the way into banjo-driven folk, "Massive Ballerina" manages to dodge effortlessly from spacey computer-narrated-ambiance to rolling techno-rock...Stick-in-your-head melodies and enough stylistic ADD to stay fresh..."Various Chimeras" is on solid footing in the current mash-up-informed, pop cultural petri-dish." -POPMATTERS
""Various Chimeras" is a cosmopolitan musical sponge...a smooth, electronic pastiche featuring hippie sloganeering and rave-ready sensory overload.... The strongest cut is "Shanghai Masai", and fare like the choral/hip-hop of "My Man Amen" or Kraut-rocking "We Do Supersonic" play to Shinjuku Zulu's strengths..." -EYE Magazine
"Good dubby house, good electronic dancehall...'Sonorous Susurrus' is minimalistic, melancholly...", & " 'Various Chimeras' is classic hipster material... "We Do Supersonic" and "Shanghai Masai" represent urban dance at its best." -EXCLAIM!
"Like Kevin Yost spinning Everything But the Girl with Mad Professor remixes...a master at aural collage" -THE HERALD
"The worldly sound of Shinjuku Zulu...sweltering breakbeat for the summertime heat from the cooking cobblestones of Toronto!" -CBC Radio
"...really f**king good...'Shanghai Masai' is brilliant" - YOUTH (remixer/producer U2, the Orb, etc)
"I bought "Various Chimeras" because of the artist's name and the bizarre song clips, thinking it would be some sort of Duran-Durany-Hungry-Like-The-Wolfy-Shaka-Khany-bad-Eighties-world mishmash music. I was wrong." -by Horseface (a cleary-disappointed-interweb-afficianado-of-Duran-Durany-Hungry-Like-The-Wolfy-Shaka-Khany-bad-Eighties-world mishmash music.)

After very long and exhausting negotiations that we've conducted with the distributors we are now happy to announce that Beatport have finally approved our diffusion application and our first PERCENT REC release is already out! PERCENT REC 01 was released only after we've organized a Remix Contest and we've chosen from the remixes very carefully. The Techno, Minimal Tech, Electronica and Experimental sounding of this release will really make you danc? after you've started listening to it. :) Typical but elegant sound by Alan Barratt, minimal hypnotic elements by Doctor Trash, minimal tech-house full of energy by Hertzman, deep minimal-tech by Alex Aqlieri, stylish Ukrainian techno by Yuri Alexeev and experimental tech by See Why at the end will make your senses feel far more than you need so that you assimilate the music well enough. You can buy this EP from Beatport, Juno, DJShop and other online stores.
