Fulgeance / France (Musique Large / MPM)
“A seriously head nodding groove layered with samples and melodies just as we like it.”

Trippin’ The Rift
„That’s goood!”
m.path.iq / We Are… On Air!
“There are big chances that we playlist the great “One Way Ticket” – but all the rest of the EP is dope too. Breaks, chops, groove, some well placed vocals, great themes and intensity explosions, what more could we ask for?”
Turnsteak / France
“Did it come from the year 2021 where all the people dance and sing to these kind of songs? Sounds like this.”

Check a cool review of Ceschi & DJ Scientist’s “Shorted Circuits EP” on Data Transmission:
http://www.datatransmission.co.uk/ViewReview/2385/
“The muscular, loud confusion of jazz and funk from DJ Scientist (…) gets topped with an anguished translation of affection in an ode to Ceschi’s late grandmother, offering half a nod to Cage at his most analytical in death.”
