Anthony Easton: Is it “shock the wave” or “show me the wave”? I am a sucker for super-fast flow with weird sounds, and this hits the spot — like a carnival ride, and you yell when the DJ asks you if you want to go faster. I always wanna go faster.

Brad Shoup: Thumping, not kinetic; nagging instead of burrowing — I can’t help but unfavorably compare this to J2K and Kenzie May’s recent effort. One thing Sneakbo has is a sense of impatience; when he demands people stop fighting, it sounds like he’s worried about his style being cramped.

Katherine St Asaph: I’ve already liked-to-loved Nero, Skornlex and Noel Gallagher this week, possibly because my brain’s done little in that time but manufacture funks, procrastination, nerves and other interfering variables. Nevertheless, I expect this’d be equally giddy and hypnotic in any other week. Maybe more.

Alex Ostroff: I’ll be honest. Most of these points for the DAGGA-DAGGA-DAH. The rest are for the delightfully elastic instrumental, which combines the best elements of scratching vinyl and Pong.

Edward Okulicz: The “dagga-dagga-dah” is an astute use of human breaths as either punctum or percussion, and there are some delicious non-sequitur squelches in the production. That said, it doesn’t coalesce into anything particularly exciting, tripping over itself as it runs in circles like an overenthusiastic puppy.

Jonathan Bogart: Somehow this is a vision of masculinity I can get behind — sleek, fussless, and glitchy.
