    This is some of the most expressive music you could hope to hear in a club in 2025, proclaiming its desires, sexual and otherwise, in a proud but non-threatening way. Their music promises enjoyment – and, set down in a quivering heap 50 minutes later, this writer can wholeheartedly agree.

    It’s not groundbreaking but, like the first record, it’s a fucking good time.

    If you’re welcoming another wired morning, indulging in orgiastic dance floor exploits, or simply want to lose your head, Decius have got you more than covered.

    The feel is sweaty, late-night techno, and while the Detroit clatter and acid squelch is more alluring this time around, it's Saoudi's lascivious persona that really pulls yoyu into the album's nether world. [Feb 2025, p.84]

    A slippery amalgam of Chicago house, Detroit techno, acid house grooves and sleazy electro-pop. Delirious fun it is too. [Jan 2025, p.32]
