Reviews of my singles :
No Need To Be Nasty [Red Volume]
Tes La Rok knocks up his best cut on wax on the flip with the twisup vibes of 'No need to be nasty', flinging itself about a gleefully rave ready riff with a barrage of percussion, this is set to be an absolute anthem on the same scale as any of Skream's biggest. Huge 12". - BOOMKAT.COM

Gunshot / Ritual Murdah [Narco.hz]
One of Vex'd's favourite up and coming producers, Tes La Rock has been making a name for himself with a steady stream of dubs and mp3's, now committed to wax for the excellent NarcoHz imprint. 'Gunshot' on the A-side really can't get any marks for originality, but it's quite large -a Coki tribute that works riff for riff and sub for sub. The really good stuff is on the B-side, 'ritual murdah' features some badboy rollin drum edits and deadly subs executed to a high standard. Killer twelve... - BOOMKAT

European producer Tes La RoK gets his first release on American label Narco. Hz. Large. - ROOTED RECORDS
Uprise / Kill Dem [Bare Dubs]
angry dubs on bare dubs from england here with there number two with tes la rok and one cold dubstep beat and one more discoesk step to eat wobble bass to breakfast. fat as they wanna be. - SPB Plattenbau.org
Roll Out / Lickshot [Contagious]
Contagious returns with another bass heavy 12 vinyl, this time seeing Finlands number one Tes La Rok on the buttons. Roll Out as featured on Dubstep Allstars 5 has been battered all over by the likes of N Type, Hatcha, The Plastician, MRK1 etc and has seen crowds screaming for the reload all over the world. One of the biggest tracks out in the clubs at the moment it is a sure fire way to set the dance floor alight. Lick Shot as also featured on Dubstep Allstars 5 is another bass heavy jump up dubstep track that needs no introduction. Play both these tracks through some big speakers and feel bass!!! - ST Holdings
Around The World Girls / Ignition [Argon]
Another massive twelve from the Argon camp here, man of the moment Tes La Rok delivering what will no doubt be another instant sell-out for what's fast becoming one of the most sought-after dubstep imprints of the moment. The A-Side delivers Tes La Rok's re-fit of Uncle Sam's "Round The World Girls" - a reggae standard here pummelled with 50 tonnes of bass and enough space echo to imbue the track with the necessary cavernous credentials. "Ignition" on the flip sees Tes operating solo, a more abrasive percussive backbone doing the necessaries - the track as nasty as it is deep. BIG!
