today comfort fit’s album ‘polyshufflez’ featuring howard marks, blaktroniks, portformat and others has been released on my experimental label imprint tokyo dawn records. to our own surprise it immediately hit the german top #100 mp3 charts within hours.

laurent garnier ‘it’s been a long time since i’ve heard a hip hop/pop/nu soul/dope beats/electronic album with such a quality level. this is absolutely stunning. really fresh, really futuristic, raw, funky, organic. this is a pure moment of music.’

osunlade ‘love it love it love it!! the entire album is superb!’

anthony shake shakir ‘i like the entire project- inspirational for me’

jürgen von knoblauch (jazzanova) ‘i love this one. congrats!!’

jay scarlett ‘comfort fit are more then stage leaders in this beat game. to me they are one of the many influences like cezzane to picasso why i exist in this particular scene, thier movement from solid textures to song play make it a great album to portray what’s going on in the void of beat music today.’

as bonus here’s the micromix i made for the album together with blaktroniks as free 320kbps mp3 download, featuring howard marks aka ‘mr nice’, gajah, klangstabil, caitlin meissner etc. all 22 tracks of ‘polyshufflez’ can now be downloaded via amazon for only 8,99 €.
