Billboard
From the first strains of 'Haiku'--an opening instrumental that merges the acid squelches of early rave with an insistent breakbeat and--yes!--congas--it's obvious that this guy's aesthetic is so clear to him that mixing disparate elements is a breeze.

Strong contender for party album of the year, anyone looking for their next fix of dancefloor heaven will say yes, yes, yes if this rehab is anything to go by.
Read Full Review >Urb
Tittsworth should be proud. 12 Steps is, at its end, a mighty accomplishment for both its maker and his genre.
Read Full Review >NOW Magazine
The results are mixed--a few brilliantly sleazy moments but too few to make this album as good as we’d hoped.
Read Full Review >Pitchfork
Tittsworth has produced, by and large, an album of potential novelty singles. That's fine--you can argue that some of the best records are novelty records--but the problem is that most of the tracks on 12 Steps are neither particularly novel nor memorable.

It doesn't matter who you tell about this or what they say or think abut, just go home, put it on your mp3 player, download it off of a legal website, sing it to your kids! Dance! Pump it up!
