"Aida possesses a wondrous voice full of exotic allure, while Skully's soundscapes are melodically enticing and cinematically sweeping"

"Can Skully and Aida do any wrong? Hip is to understate how terminally cool their groove is"

"one of the freshest sounds of the year"

"Métisse should have a summer hit on their hands"

"Imagine Enya being enlightened by William Orbit and you're almost there"

IN DUBLIN

"Métisse are infinitely more challenging than the average answer to what we should be listening to musically ... Cork is buckling under the effects of its house groove"

"Métisse's claims are supported by "Sousoundé", the collections flagship which has more than a hint of Sinead O'Connor about it"

SOUTHERN STAR

"Métisse have been causing quite a few ripples ………"

"Bredou's ethereal vocals are suitably angelic and the background noise wouldn't appear out of place on an Enigma album"(Barry Glenndenning)

IN DUBLIN

"this one piece of work is what's getting them critical acclaim, and everyone asking about an album and it's release date"

THE CARRIGDHOUN

"a refreshing mixture of different words and language, together with very unique backing combines to make something very special"

"Perhaps the most impressive recent act is west Cork based duo Métisse ... already winning plaudits and plays, and their forthcoming album promises to be even more eclectic"

"Métisse mix dance with Afro-French lyrics in a record that stays well clear of world music nonsense"

"an instant hit ... this sticks in your head after just one listen"

"Totally fresh"(RP/AF)

"Very cool"

"A soft chopped-up female vocal and funky breaks roll along pleasantly until one of the most absurdly fat basslines of the year arrives and all hell breaks loose. Give your bassbins some exercise. *****"

"Breakbeat single of the week"

"Top Ten Big Tune"

"Anyone told you we're hurtling towards a new millennium? Oh, they have. So what will we be listening to? Who's fresh? Who's hot? Well, meet dance music's next generation ..."

"Sublime sounds with remixes from FreqNasty Vs BLIM, 4Hero, and DJ Cam."

"Beautiful, melodic, laid back electronica from this Irish/Ivory Coast duo"

No.3 in Vital Vinyl "The fly five"

No.2 in Office essentials

" Métisse's "Sousoundé" is undoubtedly destined to become one of the biggest tunes of '99"

"Breakbeat single of the week"

"Easily one of the best records I've heard this week ... Sousoundé is absolutely fucking phenomenal"

"This remix starts out in a dreamy uplifting trance style which builds and builds before the contrasting tumbling basslines creep in getting progressively rawer, harder and fatter. Sort of Sasha meets Ed Rush. Totally fresh. (RP/AF)"

"Evil pop basslines and wonderfully warped breaks have their wicked way with you - lots of fun. (Rob Fox)"

"No.3 in DANCEFLOOR TOP TEN"

MUZIK

"This is seriously fresh" 5/5

RECORD MIRROR

"Leftfield single of the week"

"DJ CAM MEETS MÉTISSE"

"Louche, loungecore and jazzy, thats how the French circuit's Monsieur Cam likes it, and how he delivers on this debut release from the much major-chased new Irish-French outfit Métisse, the first in a series of finely targetted remixes. Et bien sure, it's pristine piano and sax-soaked slo-mo grooves on offer with some husky French totty intoning all manner of sexy, incomprehensible petits mots over the top. It's a lounger for sure, a dreamer and a smoker. Smouldering stuff. 8/10"

"FREQNASTY & DJ CAM MEETS MÉTISSE"

"The FreqNasty Vs Métisse mix ... I'd imagine hearing this sort of thing at a Coldcut or James Lavelle type gig. I much prefer the DJ Cam version. It really shines with a superb downbeat trippiness, very late evening/early morning smoking vibes with a breathy French female vocal that I find attractive. FN:25% DJ Cam:80%"

"Leftfield dancefloor terrorism and another feather in the cap of the ever-evolving breaks scene."

"Assault & battery on vinyl"

NME

"Rocks harder than Metallica live at Krakatoa"

"Hold onto your hats and prepare yourself. FreqNasty's mix takes a while to get going, but as soon as you hear the faint distorted b-line filtering in from the distance, you know something large is about to happen. This tests the quality of your speakers to the max, with twisted sub bass and heavy breakbeats which won't fail in rocking the floor. Cam steps in and chills you out with his traditional laidback affair whilst Blim doesn't deviate too far from the monster bass of FreqNasty's killer beat. Just go fucking buy it now - OK! (Dave Beattie)"

MELODY MAKER

"Immense, freaky & nasty, meaning nice"

"Builds into a breakbeat thriller"

"Burning up the nu skool charts and with good reason ... beyond belief" 4/5

FRONT

"6-1/2 minutes of breakbeat mayhem ... delicious"

BLUES & SOUL

"This forges an identity all of it's own"

"Truly an international record"

"Sousoundé has got one of the most bold and twisted basslines I've heard in a long while...and then BOOM! - oh my gosh!"
