"If only one word could describe the sound of this album, then that word would be cunning. KidGusto delicately weaves out of one genre and gently glides into another without ever missing a beat. His faultless intermingling of these genres hypnotizes the mind to make the body move in response without even realizing it. He arrogantly teeters between cultures pulling the best from each and intertwining them together to create a sound so smooth, one would never guess they didn't start off together. ...Each track on the album is a feel good time with every change of the beat: KidGusto is the alchemist of rhythms, his amalgam of sounds on KG Originals is nurtured just right to reach its full potential and blossoms before the listener to reveal a new meaning from that which is started."

"...A polished production sound and righteous rhythms give this album a steady pulse and an undeniable quality. The DC area has a true soldier in Kid Gusto. Go find this CD."

"KG's album is a buttery collection of global influences, with funky drums, and just the right touch of electronic sounds. good for at home listens, or rockin dancefloors..."
  ~ DJ SABO - Sol Selectas - (NYC)

"Kid Gusto is one of our bestselling producers in our downtempo / midtempo section (whenever we can keep the 12"s in stock). His brand of DC beats fuses the best of FK5 and Thievery Corp, but with a rougher edge. This is his first album release, and it collects many of those 12" tracks. Styles range from midtempo funk, latin breaks, vocalist over beats, and downtempo wanderings. Check the audio samples and wonder why this dude hasn't blown up yet. Recommended."
  ~ Turntable Lab (USA)

"The US capitol is the home to some of our favourite beats providors including the Fort Knox Five and Thievery Corporation - KidGusto certainly doesn't dissapoint!... Whether your tastes rest within raucous, bombast or the more mannered styles of a lounge KG has got it covered!"
  ~ Inertia (Australia)

"A thorough release by one of the most solid producers in the game. Every track is a refreshing journey around the world and through time. Gusto delivers that heat once again!"
  ~ DJ Dave Nada - T&A Records
