Here’s some of the latest dancehall chunes, courtesy of Better Must Come, who just released this “We Love Di Vibes – 2012 Dancehall mix.” 80 minutes of music including Gyptian, Busy Signal, Vybz Kartel, Beenieman, Bounty Killer, and more.
I would have gone with “Jah Snoop” but either way, Long Beach’s own Snoop Dogg has decided to go in on some reggae joints, starting with this song “La la la,” which was produced by Diplo. You might recognize that it’s the same remake he used on the “Colourless Artibella” track from the Major Lazer x La Roux LAZERPROOF mix tape, circa 2010. Streaming available at Egotripland.
In spite of Jamaica having a uniquely single-based music industry, centered around the latest 45′s, I decided to invest in Sweet Jamaica, the latest 2LP from dancehall veteran Mr. Vegas. I’m glad I did. Divided into two halves, the album has a “dancehall” half and a “reggae” half. The dancehall side features Vegas, and guests, over the latest riddims. The reggae side features rootsier tracks, and remakes of classic foundation songs, including several from The Harder They Come. “Sweet Jamaica” is the big chune off the album so far, and it also features Shaggy and Josey Wales.
Shimmy Shimmy is a great reggae/soca/dancehall blog outta UK. Definitely one of the best websites in that realm, with nothing but top shelf content and beautiful design. They’re also about making some really nice-looking reggae tees. We definitely support that. Check them out.
I posted a link to the Boom di Ting Sound Summer Time Mix almost exactly one year ago. And just like clockwork, the Swiss-based sound system are back with another great mix, right in time for summer. Check it out on Mixcloud for both streaming and download.
The latest podcast from Deadly Dragon Sound pays tribute to the Park Heights label with another nice selection celebrating the exclusive DDS Reissues series.
Well, it’s a new month, and you know what that means. A new Dub Chronicles mix from Disorda and the Suspect Packages massive. This time he deals with roots, ragga, dancehall, and more. All vinyl selection as always. Yes I.
