Real Funky Breakbeat from the Nations Capital, August 28, 2005
This review is from: On the One (Audio CD)
Washington DC's All Good Funk Alliance have been making a strong name for themselves and continue with the their first release of masterfully-creative-and tight production for the cut and funk generation. From the start of the albulm, it is clear that percussion runs deep in the minds of these guys as elements of latin funk, breakbeat, house, and electro combine to creat one of my favorite albulms to come out this year. The underground sounds of DC are evolving and these guys are leading the revolution.

Review from Melt Magazine - Columbus, OH, November 17, 2009
This review is from: On the One (Audio CD)
For modest Dj duo All Good Funk Alliance the name almost says it all. However, I would argue that it is in fact "all great". Their lively little fusion record On The One unexpectedly knocked me on my ass like a nasty spill at the roller disco caused by a lose shoelace. Ouch! Hip hop and break beats lay the foundation to funky house grooves as heavy as cinder blocks, while ridiculously chill basslines frame out the ultra modern eclectic architecture. Latin influenced panning, percussive textures spice things up even more while an array of synths, filters, Dj cuts and samples elevate the sound to a spacey, stoner friendly tasty treat. Sorta like cosmopolitan astronaut ice cream for the ears. Fans of similar feel-good fusion records from artists like Groove Armada, The Avalanches, Mushroom Jazz and Bullfrog will instantly recognize this weighty release as a must have after one taste. Go ahead take a lick at [...], where AGFA sling On The One along with some other original albums and remixes released on their own label Funk Weapons International. As if it couldn't get any better, turns out all the releases from Funk Weapons are similarly bad ass, at least all the clips that I sampled were. All Good Funk Alliance and Funk Weapons International are dealing some seriously sophisticated, sticky icky sound synthesis that burns the other mid-grade mishmash out there. - Tyler Starkey

Funky as it gets, November 30, 2008
This review is from: On the One (Audio CD)
This album is ful of nonstop funk and killer rythyms. Your head will be bopping from start to finish. Great for laid back wine parties, and some serious breakdancing as well. Very pleased with this album and its a constant in my car, mp3 player, and home stereo. Pick it up and enjoy the funk.
