reviews
"Two parts London Elektricity, one part Rage Against The Machine with a trace of Reprazent, d&b outfit Keiretsu are currently doing their reputation no harm at all with a rockin' set of funk guitar licks, socially concious raps, triumphant trumpets and even live flute sections. Ones to watch."
-DJ Magazine
"simply put, jaw-dropping... Marrying licks and hooks from ska, traditional folk and Motown-era soul to jungle's dirty energy, theirs is an intense, multi-layered sound that'll be headlining Glastonbury's Jazz Stage within the next two years, if there's any justice."
