“You’re on Your Own” is a booming hip-hop/soul track with a robust beat, sweeping hook and vocals with a tinge of raw anguish.”

“Production duo Diwon and Dugans of Dreams in Static present us with a young boy full of soul in their video for “You’re on Your Own” featuring Akie Bermiss. The sprightly kid embodies the blues as he pantomimes over Bermiss’s raspy delivery and the song’s heavy drum beat.”

“Dreams in Static is a project dripping with so much soul, they’ve already been compared to artists like The Rolling Stones, John Mayer, and Curtis Mayfield.”

 “It’s like John Mayer meets The RollingStones with more soul; yes it’s possible. Bringing in sexy guitar tones and soul singing that have left the world of quality music, these three partners in crime resurrect the passionate and dynamic sound to popular music. Nice one dudes…I mean sirs.”

“The duo will be releasing their soulful new album, ‘Part of the Machine,’ some time in 2014, which features Akie Bermiss on vocals. A departure from the duo’s 2010 debut, ‘Serene Poetic,’ their sound has grown vastly, combining their already skillful mix of steady beats and controlled instrumentals with Bermiss’ soulful vocal for a new and more developed listening experience.”

“Dreams in Static conjures up the aesthetics of Pulp Fiction and Curtis Mayfield, resurrecting the bluesy guitar and soul-singing that pops in a world where popular music has been left in a state of static.”
“With hints of Smokey Robinson and TV on the Radio, “You’re On Your Own” is the first single from Dreams In Static, a project produced by LA based hip hop producer Diwon and multifaceted guitarist/composer Dugans, featuring the vocals of singer/composer Akie Bermiss.”

“This was enough to capture Ghettoblaster’s attention.”

“The walls of sound that flow throughout the “Dreams of Static” sessions are the balance of the three musicians’ varied musical and personal backgrounds. Themes range from love and heartbreak to lust and existentialism. Dreams In Static resurrects the guitar and soul-singing that pops in a world where popular music has been left in a state of static and midi sounds.”

“Dreams in Static project gave birth to a really amusing and beautiful child recently. “You’re On Your Own” represents everything that a great, successful track should have – good vibe and incredibly melodic feel guaranteed.”
Queen Beetch

“The single, with its aching vocals, infectious hip-hop beat and catchy hook, is all about heart break of the kind we’ve probably all experienced at least once. Dreams in Static were looking for an inventive way to bring “You’re on Your Own” to life in a video. What they came up with is a bit of genius as the subject chosen to tell the tale of love lost is a shaggy-haired kid, specs and all, who has just had his heart smashed to pieces. Its unexpected, endearing, funny…in a way that keeps the audience engaged as they step to the beat.”
