review
"Bridging
the gap between dark moody prog tinged darkness and musically
aware beautiful lightness; Ross Couch makes astounding uncategorizable
House tracks. 'In the Night' starts out in the pitch-blackness
of scary twisted synths and jumped up beats. before a match
is lit, and the amalgamated emotiveness of jubilant key stabs
and emotive strings becomes visible. 'Big Business' takes uncompromising
dirty percussion, a dogmatic bass, violent string-synth wrenches
and enchanting keys to create another awe-inpsiring gem."

"Loving
this record guys!! Perfect to start off an early set and get
that vibe flowing!! Both tracks are fantastic but I'm leaning
towards In The Night as my fav....Really funky and chunky house,
perfect for that early dancefloor to get things moving!! Both
tracks are wicked and the production is top notch as always.
I'm a big fan of Ross's stuff so please keep them coming :)"

Review
"Blaktrax
is known for driving, dirty, skank-face beats, and Ross Couch
delivers another booming single on this UK imprint. "In
The Night" gives driving beats under a cheeky little vocal
sample, and moody keys. "Big Business" is just that.
Uber-kicks and tribal flares fall nicely into place with deep
synths and a riding hihat. A nice addition to the crate."
8/10
