"T-Dot disco impresarios TMDP (not an acronym, apparently) put together this glimmering Italo version of Lissy Trullie's "Self Taught Learner," affronting any notion that it's just Nordic and Flemish beardos killing this cosmic synth thing."
"TMDP's cuts are bursting with melodies, scraping guitars and funky, rubbery bass lines. They deserve plenty of credit for skilllfully using classic electro sounds in 2009 - and for not trying to bash your skull in with them."
"Local synth duo TMDP will take the dance world by storm when their self-titled debut drops nationwide in February on YYZ Records."
"This Toronto laptop duo composed of Jeffrey Addison and Gavin Rough have been steadily building buzz all year, but they’ve slavishly worked on this project for much longer. Their years of effort are reflected in a pristine debut that’s as catchy as it is well crafted. These guys are too good not to blow up"
"TMDP might well be the next big thing to come out of Toronto's electronic scene."
"This Toronto duo will be coming on strong in 2009 — mark our words. We've seen their pristine production and knack for epic catchiness bust dance floors wide open."
"In just one year’s time, local boys Jeffrey Addison and Gavin Rough have managed to craft quite the reputation — and build a solid fan base — as TMDP. Their melodic, hook-laden house and disco originals, combined with energetic live sets, have landed TMDP bookings on primo stages, including a recent headlining gig at the Mod Club."
"The speed at which their original, laptop-driven beats attracted a throng of dancers onto the previously empty floor was hard evidence that these dudes are sitting on some serious fire."
"TMDP are creating a buzz in Toronto clubs as up-and-coming electro sensations. Call them anything from disco to 80's throwback - just don't call them djs."
