XLR8R proclaimed “…this unique collection of artists and musicians has become one of the country’s most intriguing, innovative outfits around, Remix Magazine announced This band is making electronic music relevant again, and people from all over the musical map are taking notice, as they did when such acts as Chemical Brothers and Prodigy brought something new to the table back in the 90’s. Both of STS9s studio albums released in 2005, Artifact and Artifact: Perspectives saw a considerable amount of critical acclaim. Regarding Artifact, Amplifier commented …proof positive that technology and soul can work together in a single musical form without sacrificing the personality of either in the process.” Pitch Weekly urged “Don’t wait until the end of the year for critics to tell you that STS9’s latest album, Artifact, ranks up there with feed-your-head classics from Floyd and Radiohead.” In regards to the live show, DRUM! Magazine may have summed it up best when they urged catch STS9 live and bring a bandage for when your chin hits the floor.”

STS9 combines varied musical influences, genius live instrumentation and the latest in music technology. As Electronic Musician described, STS9s music an eclectic stew of electro-acoustic pop, funk, drum n bass, hip-hop, ambient, dub and, and more integrates rhythm-section instruments with samplers, drum machines and soft synths. This unique blend of musical angles has earned the band and its music numerous features on television and radio, notably CSI and NPRs All Things Considered Another benefit of STS9s incredibly diverse music is the artists who want to share the stage with them.
