Super Deluxe Mode is a remix and rare grooves album, the songs have been taken off "Steady On" and re mixed by a mixture of South African artists. Rhymedrop starts the album with Lyrical and vocal talents coming from D Form who does all the rhymes for Moodphase 5ive this sounds surprisingly like it belongs on one of Jurassic 5 albums with back ground harmonies sung by Lady E. The pace is quickly changed with Rise 'n' Shine a scratch-a-mental remix also with a familiar sound of the Avalanches. Got to Give has an R 'n' B vibe features Godessa, this is going to be the first single off the album. Too Real is another soul driven track with lusty vocals sang again by Lady E. Rhymedrop is remixed with no vocal (so dark remix) it's made so eerie it could have been mixed by Alec Empire. The album is round off with a live version of Addict one of the more funkier songs.

Introducing new talent like Felix Laband from the increasing musical scene in South Africa, with such a varied sound Super Deluxe Mode is an album that anyone will find something they like. With a downbeat But for the proper sensation this is a band that should be seen live.
