REVIEWS FOR WESTERNSYNTHETICS ‘May Day Radio’ ALBUM – RELEASED 10.10.10
“90909 is my favourite here… although all tunes are nicely produced deep dubby ones!”
- Fine Cut Bodies (Chi / MR2 / Tilos / Mothership / Resopal / Fabric)
“Machine sounds VERY good!”
- Bela En (Radio 1)
“Digging the Workers dub, squidgy bass extremo, nice.”
- Ben Irving (Nish Nish / 365Mag /Pulse Radio / Electric Sheep / London Various)
“Really great track. Beautiful production. I will support.”
- Simon Caldwell (FBI Radio / Mad Racket)
“Really feeling The Machine and its varied influences, the vocals work really well too. Deep and original business from Westernsynthetics as per usual!”
- 3rdeye (SCD / TWU)
“This is just quality electronic music bizness on all fronts. I love the grimy and grittiness of 90909, the rolling bass in Workers Dub and everything about The Machine. Much Respect.”
- LR Records
“The Machine is a quality fusion of different styles… A forward thinking shuffle lent from Techno and an infectious vocal.”
- John Dawson (Big Up Magazine)
“Very big stuff Westernsynthetics.”
- Jason / 3zee1 (SubFM / Peskyplates)
“Sounding deep, will definitely play these on my SubFM show.”
- Reed (Spliffolian / SubFM)
“Really great textures in The Machine – a great move for the Western Synthetics sound!”
- Simon Hampson (Symbiosis)
“Cool dubstep stuff, support it.”
- Josef Sedlon (Radio 1 Prague)
“Sounds dope! Really great heavy-hitting work.”
- Nori (Posivision Magazine Tokyo)
“Liquid, spiritual and smooth breaks.”
- DJ Connecto (BPM Magazine)
“Nice release! Any sensible DJ out there will place this in their chill out bag for those early morning sessions. Has a truly antipodean feel to it, the clean 90s synth sounds remind me of Midnight Oil and Shreikback. This will sit nicely alongside Four Tet, Pitch Black and Joy Orbison.”
- Isaac Tucker (Spektrum)
“Westernsynthetics can do no wrong. It’s the A-side for me.”
- Matt Unicomb (Resident Advisor)
“The Machine is so good!”
Kiki (DJ / Producer)
“There’s some seriously crisp production at play here across each of the tracks. The Machine references current trends in broken beat with a neat twist but I do get into 90909 most of all thanks to that epic build. Lush stuff.”
- Daniel Sanders (SPA – Street Press Australia)
“Big up the Synthethics every time! Feelin the Machine, that’s sick.”
- Roko (SubFM)
“Nice tunes. Cool samples. Will support!”
- Elie Eidelman (Sweatlodge Radio / Jack Off)
“Holy crap! Normally not a sound I’m into but the emotion of The Machine is captivating. Top marks.”
- George Sadlik (Junkbeats)
“OMG! Fantastic collection! There is no bad track… My favourite is The Machine, amazing feeling, so close to Peter Gabriel!”
Myclick (Techno.cz / Radio 1)
“The Machine is my favourite here. The voice is Depeche Mode-esque and the atmosphere is mysteriously peaceful and hypnotic!”
- Silky JacK (Beef Records)
