USA: XLR8R: "... There's some nice downtempo with jazzy kit work and even some delicate drum & bass on the b, but a1 is what I'm feeling. "The Land of the Rising Sun" pairs a crisp, uptempo broken beat with minor-chord keys under heavy compression and reverb to make a solid tune with a spacey, 3 a.m vibe."
USA: Slackline Radio: "The 12" maxi single release from Baseheadz includes a nice re-release of The Scratch Mechanic as well as three other well produced tracks. Of course, it is true in the style of Baseheadz and is a nice mix of some downbeats like She Waved to Me and some more uptempo dance vibes like Nitron. Be sure to get your copy along with a stylin' sweatshirt from Mental Recordings."
UK: Tunes: "Dutch electronica producer Satiesh Mathoera straddles the genres on this sweet 12", with dancefloor broken beats, Detroit meets drum & bass, downtempo atmospherics and a dose of jazz and first class beat work across the EP."
Japan: Jetset records: "Here you've got Brokenbeats, Downbeats, browbeats and even Drum's Bass but with the supreme key word of Jazz. A quality 4 tracker!!"
Holland: FRET Magazine: "Baseheadz shows on this EP how to blend brokenbeats and turntablism in a impressive manner with styles such as dance, hiphop and jazz."
