"Loop Troop is Scott Tinsley, who makes albums that are not slick, but dirty and raw, electronica from the street on an experimental hip-hop tip. One of the new generation of post hip-hop sound sorcerers who are combining the bass pressure of dub with radical mixology, Loop Troop plays with low end textures and spoken word samples, offering us an album that stands as a metaphor for what architect Rem Koolhaas calls 'the culture of congestion'. With it's pressure cooker aesthetic and dirty timbres, deconstructed grooves and sparse, hypnotic melodies, The King of Disco'in shows us the light at the end of the illbient tunnel. Loop Troop rhythm manifesto: to break down sound barriers, season the musical manna with disparate hip-hop flavours from old and new school, and top it all off with a generous dose of dub sensibility."

"Pained Van is Scott Tinsley, ascending from dancefloor success with the Cleveland City label to record an album for Different Drummer that fuses funk with deep dark hip-hop beats to convey a summertime on the chain gang feeling, a stunning and passionate re-interpretation of the blues from a cheap sampling keyboard, a home made mixing desk and pair of old BSR decks. You could call it street music for the 21st century, a breath of fresh air in the rarified realms of electronica, a timely and radical synthesis of hip-hop, jazz, rare groove and house -- or you could just listen to the music."
