    Nozinja Lodge is joyous, colourful dance music from one of the electronic scene's most eccentric and promising personalities.

    A warmer, more deeply hued record than previous productions. [Jun 2015, p.49]

    His innate genius for transforming base building blocks into rhythmically compelling, humanist dance gold shines through. [Aug 2015, p.89]

    His debut is characterised by frantically over-driven beats, but is as soulful as it is dance-insistent. [Jul 2015, p.80]

    A listener with an open mind, a tolerance for video game music, and a great deal of energy for dancing will find in Nozinja Lodge a unique, carnivalesque sound.

    There's a wild-eyed energy that pulsates throughout Nozinja Lodge's 45-minute length and, while this may be an acquired taste, it captures shangaan electro's kaleidoscopic nature perfectly.

    Much like footwork, you get the impression his music evolved to cater to the demands of athletic dancing bodies. Consequently, it makes a certain sense that attempts here to temper Shangaan Electro’s frenetic pace don’t always come off.
