CixxxJ/Bassponmi - “Emission is really something I’m always on the look for: lush chords, a big groove and a warm dubby bassline! This will grace my sets for a lot of time. Fraudulent is great too…, the sound is enough refined to make me want it drop and test it on some heavy rig! big up Luthor, and Haunted Audio! Always coming with awesome tunes!”

Blind Prophet - “The second drop in Fraudulent” is where it’s at! And I will definitely be including “Emission” in my live sets.”

SimonOff - “Emission is a beauty … reminds me on the Broken Beat era! Timeless. And loving the tricky beats on Fraudulent. Will play both!”

Rasputan - “Very ethereal sounding, love it! Totally different. Send more, I’ll rinse all over Seattle ;) ”

DFRNT - “…! I love Emission – such a well constructed bit of percussion. Lovely – and the breakdown with the synths and stuff – yeah – likely to put this one straight in the DJ box for sure. Fraudulent is a beast too – deep, and minimal – Lovely stuff actually – very impressive release. Top marks!!”

BunZer0 - “big!”
