Feedback

  • "Shit that is good! You guys are too good!" - Rob Da Bank (Radio 1)
  • "Record of the week - Essential!" - Piccadilly Records
  • "More big reggae mash ups from the Heatwave crew. Massive" - Fat City Spent four weeks in the German Reggae Top 20, peaking at No. 7
  • "Mad LDN is guaranteed to nice up your dance" - Dave Stelfox (FACT)
  • "4 stars out of 5" - Touch Magazine
  • "I've been guilty of vibing out to Lily Allen's "LDN" as much as the next guy, but I've always wanted to hear some authentic raggamuffin styles over that catchy ass beat. Big up to the guys at Punchline for making this a dream a reality. On Mad LDN, you get the same infectious Tommy McCook-sampling riddim, but with two General Levy acapellas blended over it and the Lily Allen hook still intact! Jeebus that's effective (and not as guilty). And if that wasn't enough, the flipside features LDN Rights with Papa San and Lady G flexing that OG dancehall style over the LDN beat. Big sound for the forthcoming warm weather. Limited edition tomato red vinyl" - Turntable Lab
  • "Them Heatwave guys keep it bubbling by catching the latest reggae bandwagonists like Lily Allen and giving them a bit more street cred dread!" - J Star
  • "Heatwave do it again with yet another peak time monster. These LDN remixes drop like an atom bomb, annihilating all unsuspecting dancers in their path. Personal fave is the Lady G and Papa San version, but I usually end up playing both for maximum effect!" - Mr Benn
  • "I'm a big fan of the Lily Allen vs General Levy 7″. It seems quite easy to slash together some acapellas and some beats, but harder to actually make it work as a record" - John Eden (Uncarved)
  • "An essential 7″ for anyone who has got a pair of ears. Both tracks work equally well and make these cold winter days feel like the midst of summer. Lily took something Jamaican and created a distinctly English pop single and now Heatwave have turned it back into something wholly Jamaican again. It’s another chapter in the vibrant interaction between the two islands" - Stop Me...
  • "It’s another banger!" - DJ Yoda
  • "Hot hot hot hot! Sounds wicked!" - DJ C (Mashit)
  • "I'm gonna play this a lot for sure" - Ghislain Poirier
  • "Tuff!" - Sound Quake (Germany)
  • "These will cause critical conditions in dancehalls and clubs - not to mention the airwaves" - Daddy Crucial
  • "These tunes are heavy!! You guys are working over time!!" - Gammo Speng (Choice FM)
  • "Pure gold, both! Expect much caning on the show - these are off the hinges" - Mr Trick (Resonance FM)
