Its not that often that a song comes along that i listen to over and over but thisTinie Tempah track has really got me. I don’t know why, maybe if its because I’m listening to a lot of UK radio at the moment and its being played over and over while sitting pretty at#1. Whatever that case i think its really good to see this track getting so much love and proving that you don’t need to make watered down shit to get a hit record.
Talking about getting things stuck in your head, thanks toThe Heatwavei’ve had this riddim stuck for way too long, so i have decided to share it with you. I have been listening to so much dancehall lately but this one continues to get reloaded over and over. It was released in October 2009 so its not super fresh but its definitely one of my favourite riddims at the moment.
Brand new video for Demarco‘s dancehall/soca summer hit Love A Come Down (She Can’t Wait)… I cant wait to get a hold of this one, bump it all summer long!
The influence that dancehall has right now is pretty hard to overstate with so many big tunes still using air-horns and vocal snippets for added hype. Even on a more subtle level though the bugged out percussion, synths and effects of club music at the moment seem to borrow heavily from Jamaican music. All this has been made blindingly obvious by last week’s release of the Major Lazer album I know but hey, any excuse to post some heat right? This here selection represents my three favorite riddims all getting heavy play in my sets right now.
First up Timberlee and Ward 21 on Rae Riddim. Her voice always has such a sense of urgency to it, switching effortlessly between two perfectly contrasting styles. Rae Riddim is so minimal and bad ass with that saw tooth bass directed squarely at the dancefloor.
Finally South Rakkas and Bounty Killer on their very own Bionic Ras Riddim. The wobbly bassline and stabs of synth strings sounding like some Toddla T style production. Definitely a strong UK garage / bashment feel going on here.
