Reviews

“I could see this one defining the summer of 2010 as an SF techno scene go-to, great progression and feel without losing steam at any point.” – Andy W (Mutor Soundsystem), Resource Records

“This is an excellent release. The original has a nice smooth low end and a hypnotic atmospheric quality. I really dig the Jon Gillham mix with it’s grooving tech type stabs, very danceable. The John Selway mix is hot, nice deep progressive with subtle layering. I can see this release fitting into a wide range of sets.” – Wesley Dysart, Steamtown Records
