Zach Danzinger, Modern Drummer Magazine says "Genji Siraisi Shines On"

His solo work, sometimes appearing under the name Pushtobreak, is mainly electronic but spans from beat driven to ambient and covers a wide range of styles. In 2007 he released "Censorsh!t" on Expansion Team records, his first solo release and "Baby Winter" an ambient exploration with pianist extraordinaire Barney McAll on Kufala Records.
