"Atki2 has long been performing his unique strain of dancehall, bashment, dubstep, and jungle, yet this is the first time he has released this style on its historical format of choice, 7-inch vinyl. Having co-promoted the Ruffneck Diskotek club night (a strong factor in Bristol's development as one of the globe's most exciting hubs for dubstep and bass music) for nearly a decade with Dub Boy and other local cohorts, he is deservedly a much-loved and respected member of Bristol's music scene. See his many releases on the city's top labels such as Punch Drunk, Idle Hands, and Immerse, as well as further afield imprints like Shadetek and Actress' Werk Discs, for whom he first recorded way back in 2005. With long-term partner Hanuman, Atki2 also helms Steakhouse Records, and the duo have been releasing bass-soaked music under the name Monkeysteak for several years. Solo recordings as Atki2 are rare, but these freshest fruits have a wonderful cockeyed dancehall characteristic to them, recalling the 1990s era heavily electronic styles of labels such as Fashion, Steely & Clevie, or Taxi, emitting twisted and often weird electronics, but all within a dagger inducing locked groove. These tracks have support from DJs and labels across the planet such as Dub Boy, Cardopusher, Ekoplekz, Oslek, Murderbot, Mr Gasparov, Idle Hands, and Iberian Records to name a few. Strictly limited to 300 copies inna murderation formation."

"After cutting his teeth on the respected Werk Discs back in 2005, Sam Atkins has had sporadic and sparse output under this alias. So, it’s good to see #Atki2 back with some fresh titbits for 2012. Knock Knock and Vietnam have a wonderful cockeyed #dancehall characteristic to them, think the 90’s heavily electronic styles from the likes of Fashion, Steely & Clevie, Taxi labels, with it’s twisted and often weird electronics but all within a dagger inducing locked groove. Get to know. 7/10" (Mark Gurney, DJ Magazine)
