Release reviews

DJ Reviews

Chris Hobson (mnml ssgs): this collaboration is a further step forward for time to express, another sign that it is one of the labels leading the way in forward thinking techno. both as djs and producers donato dozzy and cio d'or have been developing a unique brand of deep, hynotic techno, which is on display in this collaboration. 'menta' and 'limone' are driving, swirling cuts well suited for the late nights and early hours. van hoesen's remix of 'menta' adds his distinctive touch, giving it a darker and more edgy feel. quality release.

Peter Chambers (Resident Advisor): exciting!

Samuli Kemppi: thank you for this one. Already played 'Menta' on the radio. Once again a rock solid release from T2X. Both original & Peter's remix of 'Menta' get full support from me. 'Limone' does the trick on early morning floors. Brilliant!

Juho Kahilainen: An awesome release. Techno and reverb belong together. The original version and the remix of "Menta" are my picks. I could play both and probably will.
