Editorial Reviews

DJ Magazine

...strikingly original. Music to make your soul grin.

Circling house music, electronica and weird beats, Grand Central’s non-hip-hop debut rocks like a submerged volcano!

...a charismatic, profoundly funky sound from spare bits of house, electronica, jazz, R&B, garage and God-knows-what-else

This review is from: Homies & Homos (Audio CD)

this is some very well produced electro-tinged hip-pop. riton's remixes are always good, but run a little long (you know like 7+ minutes) and i have a short attention span. you can tell riton has a real appetite for the current pop/r'n'b/ hip hop production teams like the ubiquitous neptunes, cuz these songs are like the lo-fi british versions of neptunes pop songs. at least thats my assessment. its like electro tinged white british r'n'b pop. kinda like tiga covering "hot in herre" by nelly. but better. also look for a band called hey willpower who are also producing a kind of electro/pop/hip hop hybrid. its all excellent dance music.
