BARCODE Magazine, USA
"Cool, glitchy soundtrack stuff, How did they get Ennio Morricone in to that little laptop ? I'm not sure, but I'm glad they did."
Tim 'Love' Lee - TUMMY TOUCH RECORDS, USA
"At times resembling the hippest jazztronica club and at others the coolest 70s movie soundtracks, lounge music for the new generation; undeniably cool."
Paul Lloyd - SIDELINE MAGAZINE, UK
"Excellent fusion of jazz meets electronics, in a beautiful package, as we have come to expect from the beluga crew."
Auke Ferwerda - 365 MAG, USA

Marvin Suicide, RESONANCE FM, UK
"Constantly evolving, order and chaos. Beautifully atmospheric. Beluga Recordings has done it again. An excellent album, which I will be playing for a long time in the future!"
Stefan Koopmanschap - ELECTRONIC MUSIC WORLD
"Ingenious compositions and sparkling ideas"
Arjan van Sorge - FRET Magazine, NL
"At the crossroads between electronica and jazz, combining the depth of Triosk and the precision of Jan Jelinek."
Fred Bourgeoid - WEBZINE NAMELESS, BE
"A perpetual flow of invention streams throughout the 50-minute set. Absorbing and, incredibly, all free for the taking."
TEXTURA MAGAZINE, USA
""... lounge, club and home stereo compatible ... probably the most sensitive amalgamation of the styles provided by the beluga roster ""
Alexander Wendt - FREQUENZEN, UK
"Black Gold 360 immediately drags the innocent listener into a strange but delicious world of avant-garde sample madness. Flesh and steel compete evenly for attention in these intelligent compositions. Think Bugge & Squarepusher together in a darkroom....."
DJ Svendex - SUPERNATURAL, NL
" That is some deep shit, man. The fullness of the tracks is almost unbelievable and makes a lot of what else is out there sound downright thin tin tin!"
Joe Woods - LOUNGE WORLD, USA
" A rebellious free mix of experimental jazz and electronics, with samples melting behind electronica .. a varied and tense album." Album of the week.
Menno Hoogendoorn - DJ SCENE, NL
"Spaced-out jazz and funk, it's good for you. Apart from that it's very, very good. 21st century jazz friends. the man is clearly gifted."
DESTINATION UNKNOWN RADIO, NL
"Swinging jazz combined with edgy electronica and experimental audio ... sharp, striking, danceable and funky."
Filip Martens - Rifraf Magazine
"An interesting free form of electronic jazz which echoes the more thoughtful work of Miles Davis, Eno and Can, avoiding a retro-sound with a pinch of electronic effects."
Omar Munoz Cremers - Live XS Magazine, NL
"On first play the album presents more questions than answers. Beautifully strange sounds and weird almost beatless rhythm patterns create the tense soundtrack to a wordless film."
Musicfrom.nl
"A great album with some really inventive and genre-blurring tracks."
Rusty Hodge - Soma FM, USA
"A wonderful album with lots of surprises and many diverse sounds to discover.... keeps your ears in motion."
Bernd Niedergesaess - Radio42, DE
"Black Gold 360 is a unique and exciting album full of electronic experimentation and the odd jazz sample here and there."
Oscar Smit - Studio 80, NL
" Chilly electronica supported by warm samples and instruments gives an organic feel."
Jimmy van Ameijde - 3voor12, NL
"Skillful and sleazy free-flowing electro-jazz made out of fat samples"
