“Octo Octa has long been one of the stronger cards in the 100% Silk deck; after hearing Between Two Selves it’s tempting to declare him the strongest.” -Pitchfork

“though his music is clearly inspired by vintage house sounds, Octo Octa offers more than simple retreads; there’s a streamlined sensibility to his work, and though he’s not making pop music per se, he shows a real talent for employing subtly sticky hooks within a dancefloor framework.” -XLR8R

“dreamy palette of reverby synths and subtly crunchy drum patterns” -Fader

“gift for flipping fleeting, hauntingly familiar vocal samples into glowing, melancholy-tinged late night dancefloor gems:” -Gorilla Vs. Beat

“blend of early-house bliss and postdubstep adventurism; ” -Timeout

” sun-kissed house” -Fact Mag

Suzanne Kraft

“relaxed, sun-dappled Balearic territory.” -XLR8R

“ dreamy deep house that knows no borders” Spin

“ his music fits into the balmy local surroundings, where—at least from the sound of things—all parties take place on rooftops, backlit tresses toss in perpetual slow motion and the sunset never ends.” -Resident Advisor

“Kraft has found a sweet spot between LA’s yachty boogie vibes, Scando-Space Disco, and early Warp Records releases.” KCRW

Secret Circuit

“crafty yet understated tracks, touching on boogie, Balearic, cosmic disco, ambient, and leftfield dance music without ever alighting on one place too long. “ -Pitchfork

analogue workouts that meld krautrock, simmering slo-mo house and Balearic rock into an album tailor-made for the first sweaty days of summer.” -Resident Advisor

“spaced-out, psilocybin disco” -Spin

“buoyant instrumental disco that feels like a five-minute tropical vacation.” -SF Weekly

“Straight outta Oakland, a new figure in the handmade-house resurgence … The three tracks on Jackson’s Morning Swim EP are awash in lush textures and limpid color: The record runs the gamut from heavy-lidded piano jams to sprightly, R&B-inspired cuts fleshed out with congas and spine-tingling digital synths. ” -Spin

“starry-eyed dancefloor groove” -XLR8R

“moves from disco drums to metallic synths to bright chords to rough basslines to R&B twinkles to house hi-hats.” -Dummymag

“Carefree disco daydreams flecked with jazz-laden overtones in the form of polished piano samples and deep grooved drum beats gracefully make their way to the dancefloor that is 2013.” -The Line Best Fit

“throws you into the deep end of house grooves ” -Impose

Brogan Bentley Press ::

“part of a new generation of music-makers unrestricted by the boundaries of genre, whose focus is on creating a spiritual experience that listeners must define for themselves.” -SF Weekly

“bathes his haunted productions in the warm, optimistic glow of the West Coast.” -XLR8R

“a spacey entanglement of flypaper synths and knotty, roped percussion” -CMJ

“atmospheric…synth-dappled brand of soul-tinged electronic music – VICE

“crawling, slow smokiness of building synths and airy vocals that’s hard to grasp but easy to enjoy.” -SF Chronicle

“impressively robust, reverently embracing disco’s sparkle and classic house music’s sassy thump…. not unlike something Frankie Knuckles would throw into one of his sets” -Pitchfork

“joyous riot of chunky house whose big synth riffs and vocals were offset by a deceptively deft production hand.” -Resident Advisor

“blur the lines between old-school house, indulgent disco, and classic garage” -XLR8R

“head-bobbing flirtations with a wide array of musical styles, from the filter house experiments of his earlier work to disco, funk and r&b.” -The Fader

“Magic Touch mixes the psychedelic ethos of San Francisco with the house movements of Chicago, Detroit and smatters the whole thing with a solid nod to the UK rave underground” -Magnetic
