“For some reason or other, the news of a new release from Tenek is always gladdening. We have witnessed this with their past releases, and now the news of their “EP2” coming in early October with Toffeetones Records is coming right to us. Especially as this is tell-tale of work in progress, and we are indeed able to see or better said listen through the EP what their next full-length release is going to be like. And frankly, it’s going to be really something. “What Do You Want” is provocative, teasing and the sound keeps the melancholic vein of “On the Wire” adding on top of it resplendency and an energy that sounds really great in combination. “Elusive”, who semantically draws upon the same scheme that gave “The Art of Evasion” is just as much a very contemporary song and an unnamed tribute to our beloved music of the 1980's – with a very good edge and powerful magnetism.”

— Octavian , Toffeetones EP2 revies

“ This year has been notable for the number of male electro combos getting their act together after a 2009 dominated by girls. So one very pleasant surprise is Blinded By You, the fantastic new single by alternative electro faves TENEK. Leaving their previous Depeche Mode/Mesh roots behind, Blinded By You is danceable and catchy with hints of The Human League's The Things That Dreams Are Made Of. There are even bright uplifting synth pads as if to counter the darker edge that was prominent in TENEK's earlier work. Their new album due for release in September promises even more synth pop anthems.”

— Chi Ming Lai, The Electricity Club

“'Submission' by Tenek is an electro driven popster that's instant, incredibly catchy and massively commercial. Tenek bring pop sensibility to the electro table with 'Submission'; it's a punchy, hard-driven song rammed with sonic whines, dark grooves, industrial noise and all kinds of techno wizardry. 'Submission' is quite obviously a great track for the specialist dancefloor but, unlike most of their contemporaries, Tenek give their song a massive dose of pop likeability that takes 'Submission' to another level altogether; no longer just a club-scene song but now a real contender for full-blown chart success in the open market. 'Submission' works on every level really; it's got Pet Shop Boys-esque instant appeal and Gary Numan oomph but without a hint of retro anywhere - quite a combination, quite a single! ”

— Peter J Brown, Toxic Pete Magazine
