Reviews
”Foolk's style is subtle - his music is sort-of jazz, but
with funky drums and a lovely chopped, jerky feel to it,
with extraneous noises, a little light bit-crushing and
mangled pitch and tempi to satisfy those of us who live
in the early twenty-first century.”*

”Musikalisch bewegt sich nähe am Ninja-Tune-Katalog.
Seine Technik erinnert aber auch an Warp-Kunstler wie
Squarepusher oder Aphex Twin.”*
*EP Kubko (06/2007).

”This ep brings three tracks of energetic electronic
music to your ears. More organic and flowing than his
previous release. The basslines fit perfectly with the
almost glitched out synth / sample work.”*
* EP Bleep Bleep (12/2007).

”Damit die recycleten Werke den nötigen Schwung bekommen,
schraubt dicke Breakbeats als Beine unter seine groovigen
Stücke. Diese laufen schon nach den ersten Takten los und
schlagen ab und zu gerne mal eine neue Richtung ein.”
* EP Something like Jazz (04/2006).
