Credited as one of the artists spearheading the industrial techno revival,[4] Blawan's post-dubstep sounds and raw, techno-influenced beats have earned him praise from DJs such as Surgeon and The Black Dog.[1] According to Philip Sherburne of Pitchfork, his music is "full of jackhammering kicks, splintered wooden percussion, and short-fuse breakdowns".[2]
