XLR8R Magazine Nov. 2007 MobBeats002: "Leave it to some of San Francisco's nutters to freak a Spoon track into one of the hottest bootlegs of the year. Rock breaks and space bass will rule your world. And did I mention the Led Zeppelin disco re-edit on the flip?"



BF008: "Very nice release guys.I like the range of this record it's very refreshing. It enhances my faith in the future of this thing we call House!!" - Demarkus Lewis



BF007: Cold Hands from Brooklyn! They are a live breakbeat band and their first-ever release will feature remixes from Scottie B and rockstar QBURNS ABSTRACT MESSAGE, who has remixed Faith No More, Gus Gus, the Violent Femmes, and countless electronic artists.



BPM Magazine May 2005 - BFB001 review

"Kraddy slings some serious cybernetic breaks with crazy drum editing and intricate sampling. The detailed programming on this track will surely rock the fans of Tipper, Si Begg and Uberzone. SOTEG unleashes a pulsating electro breaks track with clever programming like the original and puts a twist as if you just walked into a lab of scientific beat junkies." [Simply Jeff review]



XLR8R Magazine - March 2005

"New York's Scottie B and Chris Tempas produce house as The Shift when they're not busy playing live as a full band with the project. On their sixth release for Blunted Funk, the live element is represented with sax and Rhodes keyboard flourishes over their scissor-clipped vocals and deep-dipping bass throbs. John Larner's remix adds a hefty drum shuffle and krazee noises, plus more darn sax. I'll pop a pill and cruise to this."

DJ Magazine UK - bf003 review - May 2004

"Jordan Vesteyo and Sneak-E Pete team up for an unusual dancefloor release. Hailing from the cultural melting pot that is New York, it no surprise 'Revenge' combines minimal techno elements with pulsing electro rhythms and trippy, swirling chords. Bryan Zentz's remix is tailored for peak-time use, a grungy, jacking track, while Blunted Funk stalwarts complete the package in style with the jacking, chord-driven "White Light".



Urb Magazine - bf002 review - Jan 2004

"On this funky piece of wax out of New York, the first two cuts, Moody Eva 's "6 Minute Man" and The Shift's "Soulville", are laid-back with mid-tempo beats and live sounding feel fans of the Eighteenth Street Lounge Music should dig. But the cut for the club, "Electrofunk" by Sneak-E Pete & Miss Bliss, is the one to watch for on the dancefloor."
