Thanks everyone for the support and kind words. We're with you.
"Unless you're so cutting edge it hurts, you probably haven't heard of Codebreaker yet -- and we're stressing the word "yet." Definitely one to watch: The sound recalls some crazy house party where Cameo is drinking with Prince, Phoenix is partying with Daft Punk and Bootsy Collins is jamming on the sofa. Fritz has already said the band's "Dream Lover" -- is "the best damn dance song" he's heard in ages, thanks to a rubbery bassline, jumpy guitars and synths that don't overwhelm the vocals.."
"Agile melodies and smart composition. The way that makes all other try-too-hards swoon - wishing they could step up their music to such a sophisticated level. Daft Punk are in the audience. They quietly lead the applause from the back."
"Ambitiously eclectic, exotic, purposeful, wildly individualistic, all the while carrying addictive future-funk ridden charm." True that.
One of the best of the year so far.
"Tight dancefloor songcraft from -- a duo with a real ear for the ultra catchy early 80s post disco groove -- but enough of modern touch to really give it a timeless feel! Codebreaker brings big basslines, insistent beats, and an overall sound that encompasses 80s pop funk, sparkling housey beats, early party rap and computer grooves -- and the actual songwriting is quite strong! Sweet stuff, and a modern riff on the early 80s groove of Nile Rodgers, Atomic Dog era George Clinton, and more."
"It's like Nile Rodgers in his 'land of the good groove' meeting the polished electronics of Hysteria-era Cerrone. Either way, whatever frame of reference you may choose, these guys have put out some of the most original, exciting stuff that I've heard lately. If this doesn't get you up, you might need to get your boogie-senses checked."
"Draws on funk, disco à la Chic, early rap and the protohouse that Chicago DJs love; and on the pop side, its melodies recall such unlikely sources. The party-starter “Exiled!,” the robo-disco of “Are You Ready 2 Love?” and the breathy Brit-funk of “Dream Lover” go down as well in an indie-dance set as on an uptempo house night. The whole enterprise steers clear of irony-laden ’80s amnesia even as it shows that left-field, sophisticated dance can be accessible."
"Codebreaker, le groupe le plus cool, avait déjà eu les honneurs de cette page et reviennent cet automne avec un EP qui poursuit leurs réjouissances électro funk avec un talk over à la Captain Sensible."
"Codebreaker brings the funk to nu-electro. If you look at most - if not all - contempory electro acts, theyre missing funk. They're like that missing link."
But Codebreaker doesnt just deliver electro-funk. Like one of those cheesy radio stations that promises the best of the 70s, 80s and 90s, but unlike those radio stations Codebreaker really delivers. In a good way."
"effortlessly mixes a warm disco house sound into a rather fresh sounding new cocktail of insisting basslines and a guitar that James Brown would've been glad to have as a mainstay in his backing band. Seriously infectious and head bopping."
"Codebreaker put together an awesome album all around. I see 2007 at a pace to bat .400 in dance beats with a slugging % well over .700 in retro funky bass lines. Codebreaker has set a new standard this year and you DON'T NEED NO INVITE."
"Listen to this song (Riviera On The Moon) when you wake up and your day couldn't have started better. Or just have sex, or have sex while listening to this, either way your day will seem brighter. You get the picture, right?"
