"He has the ability to create dancefloor-consuming monsters....but while it’s possible to admire his sound’s power there are times when it’s not matched by songcraft....What remains to be seen is whether he can convert his jackdaw versatility – house, breaks and dubstep all get a look-in here – into a coherent style of his own. Right now that’s very much a work in progress." - Chris Power of BBC^[2]
