Traum Schallplatten:
"...We have asked FAC3OFF to remix Ian Max Mauch "Do you even know how" in his techno handwriting. We like his nice alternation of repetition and introduction of new elements..and transports the track into the club"

Gregor Tresher:
"...next up we have label favorite Fac3off - returning with not one but two amazing tracks presenting his signature sound - we're sure we'll be hearing a lot more from this talent in the future!"
