“Dit weekend kon je weer kopje onder in de elektronische avant-garde op het Haagse stadsfestival Rewire, waar vooruitstrevende muziek op het schild wordt gehesen en het dringen is voor de kleinste acts. We zagen acts als Evian Christ en Tarta Relena opstijgen, en synthesizer-fantast en gedroomde afsluiter Caterina Barbieri maakte het helemaal waar.” - VPRO 3voor12
