“Some bands just know how to do more interesting things than others. The Dustaphonics is a band that knows how to grab your attention even before you hear anything on the album Party Girl (Dirty Water Records, 2011). I don't know about you, but album covers like that are enough to get me to check out the band's music. Then you hear the music and you experience a melange of surf, R&B, soul, and garage. Yes, really. This is truly one of the most intersting bands I have encountered in a long time, mostly because it doesn't sound like any other band. At least it doesn't sound like any recent band. Let me ask you this much. Do you know any other bands with a song about Tura Satana? I don't. Do you know any other bands that combine Vegas lounge with R&B like this band does with "Dearest Darling"? I imagine that's pretty slim pickings too. If you like uptempo soul, or if you just want something different for your collection, do yourself a favor and buy Party Girl. ”

— Gary Schwind, Examiner Los Angeles

“International Deejay Yvan Serrano AKA Healer Selecta presents his new band here the Dustaphonics and takes us to another world of sleazy 50's jazz mixed with sublime surf guitar and sensual soulful singing from Aina or Hayley. It's a fantastic hotchpotch outlining their musical influences which happens to be Delta Blues,Memphis Soul,'60's Garage-Beat Instrumental surf and funk with the spirit of 70's punk rock! Yvan's playing throughout this reverb drenched debut is first rate he could quite easily become the new Noakie Edwards,his twang is up there with the best of them.Lovingly produced throwing in healthy doses of vintage type Jazz noir film track music and other exotica to create retro feel good classics for the now generation! A fun record by one of Europe's best loved maverick a twangy homage from a man whose ear is firmly cocked back to the surf hall of fame ,where ever that is! http://www.bluesandsoul.com/review/1702/the_dustaphonics_party_girl_dirty_water_records/”

“When a press release cites a band's influences as "Bo Diddley, The Sonics and Louisiana Red", you generally know what to expect from the record before it's even got within spitting distance of a CD player. The Dustaphonics, however, are a little different. When the surf guitars and samples of opener 'Eat My Dust A Phonics' burst forth you realise this is unlikely to be your routine 60s flashback, although we do get some trademark nifty drumming from garage veteran Bruce Brand. Thanks to the work of French producer Healer Selecta who does a great job of adding weight to these songs instead of adhering to the regular format. The melting pot of styles keeps the interest levels high through most of the album and the instrumental surf of 'ShowmanTwangTikiGods' crops up at just the right point to cleanse the palate before it's back for more good times rock 'n' soul. 'Party Girl' takes the vintage and gives it a rich, modern twist to ensure that it's not only an album for the revivalists.”

“With a vibrant mix of surf, burlesque and blues influences, Healer Seleta aka Yvan Serrano brings us his first real Dustaphonics album Party Girl. Serrano is the winner of the most influential French Londoner award of 2011 and with his background as DJ, music producer, Event promoter and singer/songwriter this band leader surely deserves this title.”

— Mr Blue Boogie, Billy bop Belgium

“ Time Out says Emerging from the increasingly legendary Raison D'Etre collective nights, this multi-headed troupe encompass a wildly entertaining mix of Soul Surf and Rhyhm & Blues rockabilly. Fans include cult '60s actress Tura Satana, star of the brilliant 'Faster Pussycat Kill Kill', who's signed them up to provide the soundtrack to her new film. This is rocking good-time music and then some http://www.timeout.com/london/music/event/222911/dustaphonics”

— Time Out magazine London

“If you loved Healer Selecta‘s debut LP ‘Let’s Get It Started’ (reviewed here) but wondered what it would be like turned up to 11, then wonder no more. Yvan Serrano-Fontova, aka Healer Selecta, has this side project called The Dustaphonics in which he provides a much more rock ‘n’ roll edge to his trademark funky soul music. Right from the out, you quickly realise that this album is going to start and finish at 100mph – the energy really does never let up. ”
