"Hamburg's Chris Gruber and Nils Nurnberg have been doing an array of production and mixes for multiple labels lately but these two tracks stick out. Both sparkle with a dense and intense still airy and reduced approach to modern deep electronic house. Oz Yavooz's enigmatic skilled vox raunt gives 'C'mon & Dance' a demanding twist to it, mixing old school new jack swing with a bright metro-European attitude. A typical wasnotwas release mixing classical sound quotation with vibrant forward thinking music. Gruber & Nurnberg drop the ballistics here with a double A side rocking the cradle & floor with style and ease not often heard lately. The rest we leave up to you to decide being sure we won't disappoint!"

"Richard Davis the blackest 'Berlinglish' white boy on earth joins our Family with an epic anthem in the making. Richard's two albums (Safety, Details) are considered by many people as masterpieces of soulful house with a hard to describe haunting & spine-shivering but definite pop flavor. Time has passed since those beauty pearls were dropped so we are yet even more happy to see Richard coming back stronger and more vibrant and versatile than ever and most of all on, yet on our own imprint. As you know we do not release that many records, but if we do, we believe in them and them to stand the test of time. We think 'Cold Hard Facts' is such a tune. 'Cold Hard Facts' might sound like a struggling Mr. Davis, moaning about the inability to relax, to take a rest. Strong house beat, pushing basslines, and no melancholic vibe. Feels like a change and seems like he can really deal with the cold hard facts or at least he turns them into something enjoyable for the house connoisseurs among us. Mr. Nick Höppner, full time rocking with his mates of My My, seems to have spent his royalties for a nice holiday on African landscapes or so. Pal, where did you take all that swinging coconut klingeling attitude from? Ruede Hagelstein, based in Berlin too, goes full distance, his tricked-out Tuesday noon afterhour remix is an as-mental-as possible affair."

"You will realize this smashing new 12" will animate your body to move the same way like last time...but first things first. The dance starts with 'In Doubt,' a fiendishly cleverly produced hard-hitting basskick and a Detroitish bassline gravitate this track to the first peak level, a nasty and dirty string chord and a harder produced rhythm section will shake everybody's convolution of the brain, and that for sure, don't stop the tune, party hard and please play the tune again and again and again.......enough for snipers first shot and please, ladies and gentlemen, if you don't object, let me say some more words about the flip called 'Buddah Call,' cause this one also offers unequaled opportunities. 'Buddah Call' is more or less based on a typical house structure, I would say somewhere between 'new spiritual electronic house music' and 'uplifting neo tech,' with a heavy drumwork and warm chords and of course, the right feeling for what people will play, listen and dance to. There are serious consequences, which are tattered dancing shoes or sneakers, internal bleedings (maybe) and more often, a grin like a Cheshire cat."

"The A-side starts like a shot, to be thinking not to arrest somebody. Groovy percussions, claps and hi-hats open the round dance, mysterious strings and a cryptic nice little melody rounding this tune. When you get to the part of having to turn the record over, you will be pleasantly surprised by what you find. Another assassin, hell yeah, hard pumpin' basskicks, a dusky bassline, dark vocal snippets and psycho-soundscapes stand for their own -- party hard! The Sniper EP is an unusual record, a clever mixture of banging minimal sound and rave-y structures, at the end there won't be survivors, only shoot dancers."
