Mackrosoft was founded in the year 2000 as an independent record label and multimedia entertainment company. Specializing in hybrids of funk, fusion, soul, jazz and electronic music, the label has received generous accolades from fans and critics alike. Unique artwork, intelligent music and a continuous stream of strong CD and Vinyl releases have flowed since Mackrosoft’s inception. Below is a sampling of reviews of Mackrosoft releases:
	"The very bridge between the forefathers – Clinton, Stone, Hancock – and something like D’Angelo."
	- Straight No Chaser
	"On an epic project, 27 musicians unite to drop a funky, winding tale of musical freedom. Hip-hop edges frame jazz, house and disco-soul as organic instruments mingle with digital manipulators in a seductive dance. Composer and executive producer Aja West has mad chops!"
	- URB Magazine
	"Minimal drum beats and deconstructed bass lines. Immediate underground funk!"
	- XLR8R
	"The Mackrosoft crew (brothers Cheeba and Aja West) have thus far sailed under the funk radar, but their mythic notoriety will soon become ubiquitous. Like Disney's Electrical Parade on acid."
	- Wax Poetics
	"A record that’s perfect… a classic 70s keyboard approach to funk!"
	- Dusty Groove
	"The slick, fluid instrumental jams here reside in that juicy, bubble-butted zone between the porn-flick score and the blaxploitation-film soundtrack."
	- The Stranger
	"Unbelievably funky ‘70s lounge-sleaze instrumentals. Slammin', sample-ready drum lines slathered with vibes, rhodes, sax, and strings from top players. All that's missing is some Steely Dan-style crooning, or some Native Tongues-style rhymin'."
	- Amoeba Records
	"If the word "hipster" means anything to you, then The Mackrosoft are going to scratch that itch. Big fat "ill" and "dope" drum beats… The space between 70s jazz/funk fusion and instrumental hip-hop"
	- Gnosis
	"Funk-fusion at it's utmost finest"
	- JazzReview.com
	"The hottest musicians in funk, soul, hip-hop, and jazz come together with all original material. The album’s musicians are hot producers, bandleaders, and creators in their own right. Money Mark (Beastie Boys), Mike Clark (Herbie Hancock, The Headhunters, Printz Board, (Black Eyed Peas, Nate Dogg, Macy Gray, Skerik (Critters Buggin, Les Claypool, Alex Veley (Maktub, Dolemite), Cheeba (Dust Brothers), and Larry Crane (Brand X) among many others."
	- Jazz Profile
	"Afro-beat to Blue Note dance floor jazz, vintage fusion to current instrumental hip hop... an aural honey pot."
	- Heads Magazine
	"The Captain Beefheart of hip-hop."
	- All Music Guide
	"Hearkens back to the 70’s jazz-fusion giants, echoes of Passport and Transit Express show up along with sedate Chick Corea-like flourishes"
	- Progression Magazine
	Winner 2006 Jam Band Album of the Year – "Flash and Snowball"
	- Independent Music Awards
	"Mackrosoft's influences are clear: Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Herbie Hancock and John Coltrane. Very sophisticated."
	- Krone Magazine
	"The Mackrosoft are royalty in Asia! The producer's producer, Aja West, is conducting and producing some of the illest, funkiest, and most intelligent music around."
	- DJ Peanuts
	"Like your neighborhood Baskin Robbins, you get loads of different flavors, always topped off with sweet syrupy beats!"
	- Amazon.com
	"He made me bang my head and snap my fingers. I don't know how he did it, but this is definitely one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long time. He somehow created some new style of Hip-hop, something I've never heard before (and as a Hip-hop DJ I listen to lot of stuff)"
	- CD Baby
	"70's jazz-funk sieved through rap attitude of the 80’s and 90’s, all flashfried in idiosyncratic mythologies that seem informed by notions of the kung-fu mojo of blaxploitation, ethology’s implications for human beings, we-come-from-Africa juju, space as final frontier fantasy"
	- Earshot Jazz Magazine
	"Snappy melodies conspire with slick production to generate remarkable tuneage that bridges old school fusion with modern hip hop sensibilities. The songs are engrossing and full of verve, certain to stimulate the mind while motivating the feet. Imagine Steely Dan fusing with Miles Davis. A tasty dose of jazz-laced funk guaranteed to delight the discriminating listener."
	- Sonic Curiosity
	"Celestial electro-funk-jazz-slop."
- Cool'eh
"Rad underground progressive hip hop."
- Jupiter Sunrise
"What kind of music is this, anyway? Music for some serious weed smoking… And yes, I do recommend it (the album, that is)"
- Serenade in Green
"I am on the moon in a train, reinventing the universe on Sly Stone time."
- Saounds.com
