Feedback / Reviews:

'Desertification is the pick for me with the heavy groove on the bass line and floor energy. Chester shows what he is made of on this EP by presenting solid and well composed pieces that fit together almost as a mini album. These tracks are like cinema because they are so descriptive of emotion and rich in imagery. They communicate an adventure in a way that is almost visual. Some serious soul-searching went on here. This EP is exactly why I am on the fence about VJs, with music as complete as this no other stimulation is needed. Full Support!'

'After a two-year break, 11th Hour returns with a diverse EP by label boss Matt Chester. 'Desertification' is an unpredictable mixture of walking bass, angular rhythms and infectious synths, 'Sub Saharan' marks a return to the electro funk jams of Cameo - replete with bump'n'grind guitar riffs - and 'Dune Decay' and 'Hunter' are multi-layered, atmospheric takes on Detroit techno. - Richard Brophy (DJ Magazine)'

'...Subsaharan is a deep space of blueprint techno straight from beyond...AMAZING!' - DJ Dan Cortez / Confidential (UR / Tresor Berlin)
