"I'm saying 'yeah!' and I definitely mean it! The Shakedown is timeless funk, pure and simple."

"Glorious 2-sider from the wonderful Speedometer. Highly recommended!"
Ginger Tony, Solar Radio

"A monster funk gem.. My fav is Dragging Me Down tune because of the 60's feeling in all the production. What a funky voice this is!"
Christos Exarchopoulos, The Trouble Radio Show

"Double sided killer! Sly & Family Stone jamming with The Temptations on The Shakedown and Dragging Me Down is the greatest female soul I've heard since I'm a good woman compilations and Sharon Jones! Martha High voice is fantastic! Awesome release."
Yann Barbotin, Canal B Radio

"Love this E.P. Both tracks are excellent. The description describes the track perfectly 'criminally infectious groove!'"

Bobby Beige, Garden Bar Zadar Festival

"Has the raw soul and that authentic sound of years gone by."
