Toronto Star ~ The Turntables Have Turned ~ (By Raju Mudhar)
"...a headphone masterpiece of an album that blends echoes of jazz, hip hop, ambient and experimental music all borne from the manipulation of their chosen instrument."

Eye Magazine ~ Best Bets ~ (By Denise Benson)
"They’ve long been musical thinkers, creating original electronic hip-hop from records altered on the fly. But their debut album, Scatterpopia, proves that iNSiDEaMiND are composers as well....Scatterpopia is an incredibly coherent, compelling and atmospheric work."

Exclaim! ~ Scatterpopia Review (By Kevin Jones)
"The didactic duo further expand upon their already impressive cinematic sensibilities, crafting a would-be film score to the exploration of a distant planet."

OkayPlayer ~ Scatterpopia Review (By Andrea Boston)
"iNSiDEaMiND possess a keen ear for music and its possibilities. By repositioning and then juggling the otherwise unnoticeable they manage to invent oddly lucid potions that are equal parts fantasy and reality. Creaking wood floors and a winding jack-in-the-box are anchored by saxophone freestyles and hip-hop tinges."

Abstract Index ~ David Dacks
"Everyone in the studio was astonished that the majority of their midnight shift was sourced from records they'd found only a day before..."

Now Magazine ~ iNSiDEaMiND Toy with Nuit Blanche
"Scatterpopia boldly flows where few producer-DJs have flowed before. The music is liquid, airy and earthy. Spaced out, too. [It's] a place where guest musicians become pivotal characters in an acoustic adventure flick."

NXNE Top 25 Festival Features (By Addi Stewart):
"Their ambitious new concept album, Scatterpopia, incubating for a fall 2008 release, is a Ninja Tune-ish time and space odyssey set in an imaginary realm. Featuring The Tiniest Spy b/w A Matter Of Time, remixed by local sound sculptors Circle Research and LAL’s Nick Murray, it should raise eyebrows and open eardrums..."

View Magazine: Scatterpopia Preview (By Shain Shapiro):
"This year will see iNSiDEaMiND ready their debut full–length album, entitled Scatterpopia. Recorded as a series of trial and error turntable–based exercises, the record combines a weighty slew of ideas bursting through the seams of reinventing samples, drum pokes and soft, intricate melodic statements..."

Exclaim! Fragmental EP Review (By Kevin Jones):
"InsideAmind explores the outer boundaries of sanity and isolation on their debut EP, Fragmental....The disconcertying laughter riding in and out of "Laughing Life" plays well against the backdrop of a broken string arpeggio, diced up break beat and slow building rumble, and each is cut into the track with expert poise..."

DB's Best Bets: iNSiDEaMiND Fragmental EP Release Party:
"It hearkens back to early Mo' Wax productions while hinting at an equally noir, turntable-centric future. Here, the duo improvises and performs with adventurous, classically trained keyboardist John Kameel Farah and DJ Veteran."

Exclaim! ~ Live Review ~ Edan / iNSiDEaMiND (By Thomas Quinlan):
"With a laptop, turntables and a dusty collection of vinyl, the two DJs scratched and tweaked smooth and spacey turntable compositions that wouldn’t have seemed out of place in a rave’s chill-out room..."

"Mind Over Matter" Now Magazine's NXNE Showcase Previews (By Benjamin Boles):
"Laying down a sparse hiphop beat from a drum machine, the pair construct riffs and textures by cleverly manipulating small sections of sound from their bags of records with their fingers, the mixers and effects. It's atmospheric and laid-back, more about mood than frenetic scratching"...

iNSiDEaMiND: Eye Weekly's Extended Play (By Denise Benson):
