"'A Night on the Wonk' is on an experimental tip with highly addictive horn and chime hooks. The Gemmy remix takes the chime section, gives it some of the well known purple treatment and turns it into a highly distinctive but slightly sickly intro. I say sickly but that's perhaps because I've listened to it a lot of times in a fairly short period of time. However we're then treated to a bleepy roller with moderate variation to keep things interesting. This makes it perfect for an early set or casual listening. 'Detached Reality' crackles its way through some haunting vocals and evil guitar riffs creating a tense but soothing atmosphere -- detaching you from reality, sinking you into your seat while your mind starts to play tricks with itself. What are we really here for?"

"Amazing packaging and music from Bristol based DJ & producer Wedge. Coming with a fresh take on the dubstep sound with the debut release on his new label If Symptoms Persist... Having hosted his successful radio show on Sub M for four years, this first release represents the fruitful hookup that have come from the show. With the best of musical and vocal talent passing through, the show has become a watchword for keeping up on the developments in the Bristol sound. Shadz is one of the many talented vocalists to have guested on the show, and before long Wedge invited him into the studio to collaborate. The result is a perfect combination of bass weight beats and soulful songwriting. Shadz uses his experience singing with many different projects (Joker - 'Keep your eye on the ball,' Gemmy 'The Croft' Seezy -'Whatever the weather,' TC - 'Untitled,' Distorted Minds - 'Otherside') to great effect and comes up with an infectious lyric with a yearning, searching theme that suits Wedges deep bass pressure perfectly. 'Running Away' join the long line of great vocal tun to come out of Bristol, from Smith & Mighty, Tricky, & Portishead to Reprazent & Ben Westbeech. 'Running Away - Guido Remix': On the flip, rising talent Guido (one of the Purple Three along with Joker and Gemmy) turns in a remix that sums up the excitement surrounding these producers. R&B, grime, & dubstep are thrown into the mix. A rinsing b line mixes with Guido's trademark orchestration & musicality. Two prime examples of why people are looking to Bristol for a fresh take on the Dubstep / GrimeGoodnessKnowsWhat sound with DJs as diverse as Mary Anne Hobbs (Radio 1), Mr Jm (1Xtra), The Foreign Beggars (Dented Record ), Footloose (1Xtra), Starkey (Planet Mu), and N-Type (Rinse FM) supporting this release, things are looking great for this new label."
