"Turntablism doesn't tend to be a cuddly genre, but somewhere between leading pre-show games of Plinko, re-imagining his instrumental ballads as vocoderized Acura commercials, refereeing thumb wars, giggling adorably and leading the audience through Yo Gabba Gabba dance routines while wearing a fuzzy koala suit, it became obvious that the eminently likeable San couldn't fully commit to gloom and shadow even if he tried. He's just too gosh darn playful." - Richard Trapunski, NOW Toronto
"A mix of sentimental Wurlitzer, Eno’s Apollo ambience, Philip Jeckian drones and frenetic scratching; Cadet is gorgeous — maybe even his most mature work to date" - Christopher R. Weingarten, SPIN
"Highlights of the graceful space lullaby provide an architecture to the show. San himself is the wizard of it all, but he doesn't attract attention to himself. Rather, it's the overall multidimensional experience that matters." - Brad Wheeler, The Globe and Mail
