'Access Rhythm' Press
"On this, his debut 12" for Warp, the Motor City native comes of age with four tracks that combine his techno sensibilities with a love for hip hop rhythms. One to watch for 2004" Dazed & Confused
"leading the techno field with his own very distinctive sound, he uses classic elements fused with r'n'b & hip hop, creating a whole new genre, that's cutting edge, bathed in warmth & funk fueled. Jimmy Edgar is the Motor City's new star" 5/5 DMC Update ESSENTIAL TECHNO TUNE
"he's frustratingly cool. techno's new toy" i-D Magazine
"cool and razor-sharp, grabbing the glitch, pushing it onto the dancefloor and telling it to do head spins in the air" Jockeyslut
"The razorsharp beats of Dabrye, the twisted hip hop of Prefuse 73, the futuristic glitch of Akufen and the downbeat machinations of Carl Craig are all reconfigured into a new shape, with the kind of ease and comfort that would suggest there's a lot more to come from this talented young buck" 4/5 DJ Mag
"this is t-h-e hottest thing for 2004 and beyond. his 'access rhythm' ep is the coolest thing. like prefuse but much more straightforward. yeah, actually more akin to dj premier than anything else - yet with a boy-room-geekdom touch breezing with early rave-like. production ethics. fackin awesome" absorb.org
