Press Quotes :
"Imagine King Tubby driving a 34 foot bassbin through your house into your fishpond and you can imagine the breakbeat sound of North Lanarkshire according to Craig Brown." - Rob Da Bank (Radio 1)
"Intricate and subtle without ever losing the euphoric, futuristic feel. If Moby or the Chemical Brothers had recorded this, they’d be able to buy their own continent. 4/5" - Liam Arnold (The Skinny)
"Names like the Chemical Brothers or Prodigy is a handy reference, but does the man a disservice, unless prefaced by better than." - Stuart McHugh (Is This Music?)
"Surprise highlight Satellite Dub drummed up a snatch of heavy bass’n’beats that could give Chemical Brothers a run for their money. 4/5" - Malcolm Jack (The List)
"Comparison wise, Satellite Dub is as eerie as Björk, as wired as The Prodigy and as robust as Orbital. ‘London Has More Lights’ is lingering, expressive and extraordinarily impressive. 4/5" - Denise Tench (High Voltage)
"The best electronic artist Glasgow has to offer." - Alec Downie (NEMIS / manager of Pop Up)
"His avuncular attitude and intense enthusiasm coupled with thundering, sleazy bass grooves, rampant samples and pumping beats is exhilirating." - T Break
