    It all speaks of erudition, repetition used and abused in a dizzy concatenation. 25 25 is music as heartbeat (and screw the arrhythmia). Essential.

    Dirty, hedonistic, and majestic, 25 25 is the sound of dance music at its most astonishing.

    These crafted tracks are built for dancefloor delirium, yet darkness and unsettlement abound, awkward elegance and cool beauty twinned with repetitious abandonment. [Sep 2016, p.74]

    In its own claustrophobic, expansive, debauched, and sardonic way, 25 25 proves that less truly is more for Factory Floor.

    If Factory Floor emobodied a dynamic tension between paralysis and movement, claustrophobia and cathartic release, this outing functions similarly but tips the scales slightly toward the former categories. [No. 134, p.57]

    It’s less of a seismic shift from their debut, and more of a progressive tweak towards something much bigger.

    Continually tedious and far too long for its own good, 25 25 is a almost hour-long endurance test that refuses to let itself out of the duo’s own heads.
