"Something strange is happening in Canada. It seems like such a nice, happy country, but the haunted, malevolent music wheezing out from its bowels suggests a different story. Take Babe Rainbow, who makes dubstep death marches, spooked songs that stumble down endless, murky corridors."
//NME
"What we can say assuredly about Babe Rainbow’s music, specifically “Screwby,” is that it is undoubtedly a member of the Warp family. Playful and fascinated with all forms of programming—keys, bass and drums—Babe Rainbow shares most Warp group’s experimental interest in boundary bending and nose poking. The reason for “surf-step” isn’t a need to check off characteristics from a laundry list, it’s getting everything done and realizing you sashayed your way smoothly through idea after idea, not just surf or dubstep, but dub itself, math rock, video game music and more."

"Vancouver's Cameron Reed -- aka Babe Rainbow -- creates haunted, murky, "inverted dubstep cave recordings" that evoke similar feelings of paranoia/anxiety as SALEM's darkest and most desolate work."
//Gorilla Vs. Bear
"This Vancouver producer’s dreamy take on dubstep shows that not all of the style’s best artists are from the U.K."
//AllMusic
"Babe Rainbow is another magnificent sea-shell washed up on our shores, except when we put our ears to this shell we don’t hear the serenity of the sea, but the cavernous, bombastic sound of inverted dubstep cave recordings documented beneath an oppressive futuristic mega city that constantly rumbles above with the noise of titanic machines in the midst of a apocalyptic takedown."
//20 Jazz Funk Greats
"Self-described as "surf-step," Reed applies the hazy atmospherics of a West coast shoreline to some abstract form of dubstep. While he hasn't actually released anything official yet, Reed has attracted a ton of blog love with his misty re-edits of Wavves and You Say Party! We Say Die!, along with his own swampy tracks."
//Exclaim Magazine
"Babe Rainbow has got curves in all the right places. That’s right, Cameron Reed aka Babe Rainbow is an instance of dubstep finding home in North America and sounding fantastic! Creating anxious cries of Chia pets wanting so badly to grow, Reed captures the stages of evolution in his pieces - from concept to result we hear the complexity of growth, whamp of yearning, and thud of arrival. What Reed has also successfully accomplished is not only bringing dubstep to North America, but North America to dubstep."
//The FMLY
"Babe Rainbow is Cameron Reed from Vancouver his deep haunted grooves are really addictive you are highly recommended to grab more from his stuff..."
