"One of the biggest names in Chinese electronic music, Howie Lee has recorded a phenomenal album taking club music to the monastery." Jamz Supernova, BBC 6Music
"Packed with intense chants, Lee has leaned much heavier on the electronics, creating something fierce and startling in the process" Bandcamp, Best Electronic of April 2024
"Lee combines the low, powerful hum of the monks' devotional chanting with blistering hyper rhythms, bone-rattling bass" Bandcamp Daily
"The album blends traditional Buddhist singing with pulsing bass, footwork beats, and experimental sounds, ushering listeners into a world where ancient spirituality meets pure rave energy" Mixmag
"Great stuff!" Gilles Peterson, BBC 6Music
"Absolutely Terrifying" New Music Fix, BBC 6Music
"High energy sounds that combine traditional music with pummeling electronic production and footwork basslines"Late Junction, BBC Radio 3
