"Bloody Brilliant!..Love this!...Beautiful Music..." Joe Muggs (Mixmag,Slugrave,Guardian,Artsdesk,talking about some of the 13t tunes)

'KIlla KIlla Killa..some serious shit being developed here..' DJ UMB Generation Bass

"Fantastic Music!" Future Pilot AKA (Domino Records,BBC)

"This music is Fresh,great to hear at last man" Dema (Lucky Me,Freak Moves)

¨Amazing World Music/Moombahton tunes¨Alberto Caballo (TropcalBass.com/Mad Decent Blog,Latin Resiste,Rebel Sounds)

'Khev de Leon’s World Music 2.0 Productions remind us that Moombahton forms part of the Global Bass scene – and that Moombahton is about waaaaay more than a dirty Dutch plus dembow template. Heady.' Neil Queen-Jones for walmerconvenience.wordpress.com

'The 13th Tribë... expertly pulls of the global moombahton sound. His tracks have tons of tropical influence, and neither vocals nor melodies sound like a second-thought addition to his tracks- no house-esque random lyrics here.... When Heartbreak was talking about good moombahsoul that’s meant for the home, not the club, he had tracks like these in mind. Check this guy out on SoundCloud, I really can’t recommend him enough.¨ Ziad Ramley (110bpm.wordpress.com)

"The 13th Tribe and their new single Negro are about as inspired as it gets. Negro is a tidal wave of musical and cultural influences, as they draw from their collective backgrounds, taking you from Africa to the UK to South America, to create one lethal cocktail." review by Hazard @PlanetUrban.com/au

"Great Music! Listen and Learn!" Tony @ Burnt Progress,CDR,Attica Blues (Mo Wax)

"I watched the video a few times, Amazing arrangement, very eclectic. You can definitely tell your influences range from reggae/rock/dancehall/hip-hop. I’d love to hear more anytime :), Your releases would be well-received by our eclectic audience.' --Wax Poetics Magazine Brooklyn described as “The best and most exquisitely laid-out music bimonthly in America.”  by The New York Times Style Magazine

Mary Ann Kennedy on playing Negro on Global Gathering BBC Radio Scotland.

"Negro is great - really infectious. The video reminds me of the early days of the Hac groovin with The Jazz Defektors when the Hac screens showed vids like that with b+w movie clips-
Geoff Ellis (Founder Of T In The Park,DF Concerts)
