Riddem Magazine - 
” Maybe it’s exactly this approach that is needed to take sound system culture out of corner of pure traditionalism and make it accessible to a young urban audience. Tour De Force's Double Tiger delivers the fitting sound track.”

Fact Magazine - 
” The idea behind both the label and Tour De Force (Double Tiger / Q Mastah) is to help bridge the gap between the traditional Jamaican roots of sound system culture – down to hand-crafting your own speakers – and its growing modern diaspora manifested most evidently in the rise of bass music culture around the world.”

Mtv Iggy - 
“While in the Jamaican tradition, the sound clash is the ultimately showdown between rival sound systems, Tour de Force's Double Tiger is taking a more ecumenical approach. They want to use it as a showcase for high-fidelity parties not only with the typical reggae, dub, and dancehall, but also EDM, hip-hop, funk, and soul as a way to share the gospel of sound system culture with other music scenes.”

Redbull Music - 
“Brooklyn just might be on the verge of a new halcyon age for sound. So please, let’s put away those awful earbuds and computer speakers, and drown our ears in bass.”

Okay Player - 
“Tour De Force and Jahdan Blakkamoore team to deliver “Pool Party” – a Brooklyn born take on the legendary Sleng Teng Riddim from King Jammy. The summer jam anchored by the wobbling riddim is the latest from Double Tiger and DJ Q-Mastah”

Closer to home he can be found in numerous venues across the city and on the air at Brighton’s very own Trickstar Radio.
