New single “Mahri”, suggests a downbeat Prodigy with a kinetic synth line and future bass
warmth putting him immediately in the leagues of Jon Hopkins and Bicep.

Electronic Sound Magazine
Issue 83
Having witnessed Bulp perform in the shadow of a grain silo in Bratislava, there is something
special developing here. Štefanec is mining electronic music history, revelling inexperimentalism, and delivering it with dancefloor euphoria.

Louder Than War
Sharpe Festival 2021 – live review
A true pick ‘n mix of dance music, with each segment introduced by a tantalising drop.
There is something in these drops that is very clever; but I have no idea what it is, or how
to describe it.

Full Moon Magazine
Mahri, named just like the former releases after a feminine name, is an energetic piece,
which presents the producing of Samo Štefanec in a more raw manner, with faster BPM
and radical approach.
