Archive for the ‘digital’ tag
The fellas over at The Heatwave (one of our all time favorite dancehall blogs) recently played a little homage to the last 25 years of digital dancehall on their Rinse FM radio show, starting with King Jammy and Wayne Smith’s prototype “Sleng Teng” and moving forward at a rate of about one track per year. Whether you just wanna reminisce over the last 25 years of dancehall music, you need a little history lesson to get you up to date or you just want to listen to some big, big tunes, you should download this mix (right click, save as) immediately.
Just in case you need a little more convincing, peep the tracklist after the jump.
Jahtari (Jah + Atari = Jahtari) was created by Jan Gleichmar (a.k.a. Disrupt). He describes their music as “for the lack of a better term – digital laptop reggae.” They are a sound system and also a netlabel. Disrupt and Jahtari call Leipzig, Germany home. They’re down with the Mungo’s HiFi cats from Scotland. They put on a lot of artists that I’ve never heard of. It’s good music. Peep the megapost after the jump.
