what folks are saying:
"Love the new CD; as far as just listening pleasure I love Sweet Miss Rae; the keys remind me of some old Traffic vs. Doors and then the horns with the nice precussion --love it.
Playing out; probably my favorite is: Corkscrew--seems to get the dance floor going with little bit of latin flair--reminds me a bit like Mo'Horizons- very nice."
-J Mack; Forquarters Collective, Baltimore/ Washington DC
"What do you get when you take Will Holland out of the UK and smack him with a West Coast 2x4? Well, I guess you get a pissed off Will Holland, but metaphorically speaking you might get an oblique similarity to Danny Massure's persona. Distinctly funk-da-fied, Massure blends top-notch percussive grooves with horns, some well placed vocals and a whole lot o' rhythm..."
-Toneschool.com
"Making a decent acid jazz/funk track is one thing, making a whole album of the stuff is quite the other. Many acts over the years have tried and failed to create the perfect party album. In order to get it right you need plenty of big tunes, really big tunes. Danny Massure's eponymous release on Tickle Junk has some massive tunes.Both "Rewind" and "Hotchacha" have already been released as singles and frankly, no self respecting DJ should be without these two beauties. The Valique remix of "Hotchaha" is also included in here too and is essential listening.The Seattle-based DJ, programmer and all-round mastermind has some equally powerful grooves buried on this CD. "Mama Didn't Lie" could be the biggest song on this release. It's damn funky and as catchy as hell. "Rock The Afro" is a serious contender for the dance hall killer track of the year and is so funky, it hurts.But watch out for some of the slower, more Latinesque tracks. Songs like "Sunbreak" and "Four Wheel Slide" have a more soulful vibe. There's also time for some serious Hammond with "Sweet Miss Rae" recreating the glory days of JTQ and the Brand New Heavies.If you are serious about funky, jazzy grooves, Danny Massure's work has to be on your wishlist."
~ Jamie Hailstone, Properlychilled.com
"...it..s so amazing to listen this tracks. Both cd are one of the best i got but my personal favourite is your cd "Danny Massure" and over there is are the tracks "mama didn..t lie, rewind, hotchacha (original), roch the afro and soledad (Ben Dean remix)" are the best for me but the others are also good. Big big respect danny. You are one of the top producers of this style. Hope all is well and wish you all luck for you releases. Best ED"
-Ed Royal
"I admire and I'm inspired by a lot of U.S. acts like All Good Funk Alliance, Fort Knox Five, Danny Massure, Thievery Corporation, Nickodemus, etc."
-Rephrase
“Mama didn’t lie” gets it’s James Brown on and is our pick of the bunch, the 4/4 groove and subtle percussion propel the track along nicely. This track is a great crossover jam between a house set and break set. “Hotchacha” is a close second, we like the way it hits that spy groove with a nice bit of flair, sounding like early Ursula 1000 material but with a bit more jazzy undertones. Very addictive. Overall we really like the depth of the horns and layered percussion on all the tracks, Danny go on with your bad self."

"Booty shakin pimp struttin funk breaks, Danny preaches the dancefloor gospel!"
-Tal M. Klein - Aniligital Music
"Rarely are funk outfits as outlandishly eclectic as The Ticklejunk Allstars, but these dudes produce jams that make the rounds through just about every dance genre known to man. Mixing breakbeats, housey grooves, and lounge-friendly guitar lines, Ticklejunk is on the path to redeeming Rick James."
- XLR8R Magazine
"Low slung funk soul hitting the proverbial spot!"
-Ursula 1000
"..smokeyjazzfunkbeats, mr Massure drops a unique fusion of fine ingredients!"
-Blend aka Mishkin
"Just in time for Summer comes a sweaty midtempo groover from Danny Massure. Indeed unresistable and an Indian Summer surely lies ahead this year!"
- Kraak & Smaak
‘Hey Danny, been listening to your tracks off the upcoming album. Lovin’ those horn arrangements, mang, you got that shit on lock. Plenty of licensing opps with these puppies, too!’
