"The Mekano Set make machine rock music that blurs the line between dark-indie and industrial in exquisite fashion." Soundsphere Magazine.

"Beautifully crafted doesn't come close to describing the latest EP from The Mekano Set. But that's hardly out of the ordinary for the Meks. Abstract guitars and Post-Punk basslines swirl around massive, sound system crushing beats..." Stray Recordings.

The Mekano Set mix elements of rock, dance music, improv and Musique concrète to create a style of music designed to please cool old Punks and angry young gay people, and in turn cause offense and confusion to conventional, boring musicians and fans of any one genre.

"Slick spiky electronic rock that screams darkness beneath a seemingly delicate exterior." Natasha Scharf, Metal Hammer.

"Dystopian Joy Division... Dubstep bass feeding off a Gary Gilmore’s Eyes riff... Sigur Rós verses the Chemical Brothers..." Gig Junkies.

"Like some kind of beautiful crime..." Niall O'Keeffe.

"Bass heavy 80's noise." Time Out.

"With big beats and a reminiscent feel of Placebo, The Mekano Set sounds raw, catchy and rocky. Mellow, echo-like and whispery, with plenty going on in the background, this music is for night-time - listen to this and be transported to a dream-like stupor... there's something relaxing yet chilling about them." Spill Magazine.

"Delicate, filthy, post coital purr." Bubblegum Slut Zine.

"The Mekano Set swarm over "Reel To Reel" with macabre, bloody vocals and a roomy sound in which a bloated drum beat creates a stifling backdrop and the synth sickles and snickering guitar just reverberate in a mildly hostile fashion. It's a grim façade with seedily attractive edges and a smooth, imposing centre which means it's a strong song that displays how stocky their sound can be." Mick Mercer.

"Brilliant bass-heavy ambiance generated by a (three-piece) gothic trip-hop dub outfit... Sirens luring you toward a dark fate you'll embrace." Source Magazine.

"Beth sings like an ice-cube melting down your spine on a hot day. Exquisite tingles of agony gradually making the transition into a warm wash of relief." The Garrett.

"All of this is soundtracked by an undertow of snaking guitars and synths that make me think of swirling mists and sonic cathedrals. Well, maybe not sonic cathedrals. I gather they're banned under the music journalists' Geneva Convention. Still, if this is shoegazing, you'll find me gladly staring at my laces any time this is playing...Top of the crop." The Mag.

"The Mekano Set have a talent for creating exciting electronic rock fields with edges, a noisy touch and haunting atmospheres; it's like velvety, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate ice cream with highly crispy candy splinters." Virus Magazine.
