maintaining fluid melodies and Hindustani classical elements which give the album continuity and depth! Big up!"

Mo Magic's new album has Eastern Soul and the hardness of London's grimey streets combining to make a true 21st century post Asian Underground record.
Bobby Friction - Radio 1 - Bobby and Nihal presents BBC Asian Network
Mo Magic has pedigree stretching back to the early days of the Asian UndergroundÌ scene back in the 90s and it shows on this release. Asian fuelled Breaks slash across Brick Lane D&B on an album that hardly pauses to catch a breath.

Its long awaited but Sirens is now tearing up the floors. Mo Magic has captured the sounds he's been pioneering since the 80's and this album brings on dirty, raw fuelled filled D&B and breaks that has the crowd wanting more.

"From the flute-fuelled frenzy of the title track to the drone-y On The Edge and the Sino drum and bass of China Doll Remix, this is the best and only true breakbeat record made by one of the original Asian Underground producers..."
Les Earthdoctor
"The best Asian Drum & Bass youÌ're likely to hear!"
