"Just when you've about to run out of cliché's about the impeccable run of releases Four:Twenty has delivered this year, the Bristol-based label serve up yet another stunning package. After releases from heavy hitters such as Two Armadillos, Solomun and Andomat3000, the mantle now falls to new boy Class 71 with his double A-side 'Seaphone'/'Diamond Door.' Well, it would do if he was really the new boy, but he's not. In fact, this new artist is an alias of Italian producer Santos, who has pretty much done it all in house, techno and every other genre we could lazily list. Here, he's hit otherworldly form by plowing his love and passion of deep house, Detroit and Chicago. 'Seaphone' takes the lead with a beautifully simple exercise in drums, FM bass and chords, which really does sound special. The toast of Drumpoet Society, Quarion, twists and tweaks the track into the wonderful vision of house music that is making him so hot right now. Rounding things off with a respectful nod to classic techno via moody stabs, lazy melodies and an airtight arrangement in the form of 'Diamond Door,' it seems like Class 71 is a bit of a name to watch. Don't take our word for it though, Amé, Sasse, Djinxx and Agnés are already backing this winner."
