"a kinked shuffle of raw percussion and head-melting interstellar jazz keys. Lovely" - Boomkat
"a staple of Detroit's house scene for nearly 20 years" - Will Lynch (RA)
"breezy strings, a locomotive rhythm and vocal samples about standing up in the face of adversity. It's a pretty unbeatable arrangement: the drums are slamming, the melody genuinely uplifting, and the vocals lend it all some swagger" - Resident Advisor
"taking its time to warm up with silken chords before dropping a thick beat and sparkling keys, nothing short of stunning" - Boomkat
"he hates the idea of stagnation, of just blasting out the classics in an endless churn. That's the biggest drawback with Detroit these days, he tells me" - Jordan Rothlein
