PATRIOTIC LINKS
PATRIOTIC QUOTES
“This whole damn release is on fire ! BIG LOOK. Seriously.” – Distal, Tectonic/Embassy
“Feelin dat Moony Remix!” – Kastle, Symbols
“TOO many great RMXs on this release. such a pure dancefloor killer on the ORIG too. will be playing to all HOT MOMs across middle America. USA! USA! USA! USA! 10/10″ – Mite, Embassy/BYrslf
“That Wheez-ie Remix is FIIIRE 10/10!” – Trigon, Profound Audio
“This release is amazing! Spooky really goes in on this one! Straight forward and effective. Perfect dancefloor tune! All the remixes do a great job in taking it to the next level. Wheez-ie crushed this one! Star Eyes kills it as well with that bass patch in her remix…wow! I also enjoy Moony’s garage take on it. Funky, but deadly! A must have! 10/10″ – Brent Still Life, Symbols
“A surprisingly different chest-plate rattler. Spooky’s most palatable single release for some time. Whilst his flair for making 8-bar classics is obvious, Code 9 just seems that little bit more considered, more in keeping with the grime that is starting to make headlines outside the genre’s steely confines. A genuinely impressive release from both label and artist.” – Thomas Fraser, Uncle Albert/Grime Digital
“I was told this was a sexy haunted house. Where are the ghost boobies!?!?!?” – Frank Wallerson, Paranormal Pervert
“I challenge you to an old timey duel.” – Aaron Burr, former Vice President
“Spooky’s music got me pregnant. Plus there’s one no one knows about.” – The Octomom
