Dalglish:

"New EP from Chris Douglas on promising West Coast label Ge-stell frantic, crunching micro-edits, whereby surfaces of crackling coppery tone undulate with an uncanny inner rhythm" - The Wire

"Relying heavily on digital signal procession and harsh, industrial ambient tricks, [Dorcha Aigeann] gutters and snaps from the abrasive build of Onair to the almost weightlessly sinister serenity of Gsm Intv 4" - Bleep

"A tempered breakage of machinery via electro-acoustic tone-wrangling wherein the notion of a center, let alone the center, not to mention anything that might hold, does not exist in its DSP-arate tangle of splintering arrhythmicity and torn texture" - Igloo Mag

Brandon Nickell:

"Skyline brings together a wide variety of his influences, fusing obtuse dance-influenced sounds with frenetic beats and tumbling hip-hop rhythms, but never losing that all-important sense of melody" - Fact Mag

"It's astonishing how Nickell brings together seemingly autonomous tracks of drums, sound effects and dissonant synth melodies in a holistic sonic picture fuses such a wide variety of influences that it renders any categorizations pointless" - Bleep

"Propulsive and percussive, with a high-end organ-like sustain running through it buffered by diverse dynamic vectors" - Igloo Mag
