Magazine (Nov), Review by James Kendall
"Ross
Couch has been a busy boy lately, with two singles coming our
way in the last two issues. This is even better than "The
Shakedown", a balance of peak-time energy, deep keys, and
some cool vocal hooks. The drums are what catch the attention,
like a Siesta record racing to the airport to declare it's before
it's girl leaves forever. It's given a real run for it's money
by the Desmet, Diesel and Mai mix though - a slower, more sensual
jazzed out take that has a touch of the Marques Watt about it.
That Chuck Diesel is an engineer at Moulton Studios says it
all." 4/5

Magzine (Dec) Review by Jez Torrance
"Ross
Couch might not have the most glamorous name but he can always
be relied upon for good tunes - he's released 3 or 4 great EP's
in the last couple of months. And 'Feel It' is another. With
warm rhodes and flutes, skippy drums and a nice bit of vocal
harmonizing it's a deep but slick thing which is reworked into
a trackier, starker but still jazzy version by the Amenti Boys"
(3/5)

Magazine (Dec) Review by Natalie C
"A
quality follow up to his last release, 'Feel It' remains within
Ross' techno-percussive sound but with a more housey vibe. Chattering
hi-hats and driving bass meet lush vocal elements and warm chords
fill your mind with exhileration. Desmet, Diesel and Mai offer
a deeper jazzy remix consisting of sax, jazz guitar and organ
riffs. As a record of two halves this is an essential for the
travelling bag with two tunes appropriate for individual occasions."
