TheWorldsBestEver x SDTW Present: Sound Boy Advice

Two weeks ago the dudes from TheWorldsBestEver asked if I would make a mix of songs (not mixed, but more of a play list) comprised of any music I wanted.

I took the opportunity to go through my hard drive and my other laptop to compile songs from my favorite genre of the last few years which is digital 80's dancehall. I narrowed the list to 47 scorchers. That was way too long so I shaved that down into 18 tunes plus an intro that I chopped together in Garage Band cause I'm well hard on Garage Band tings. You know dis fam. Dont believe me rudeboy? Ask mi bredren THIS

Dancehall STILL manages to go unaffected in the States (at least) by viral culture and the internet. The only crossover we've had in the last 5 years was "Welcome To Jamrock" and an occasional Sean Paul tune. That is it. IN the UK that may not be the case. Here in the U.S though I can go nearly anywhere I want and I know there will be no dancehall being played. There will not be some kid running around with a Mavado shirt on. Why? I guess because of the "patois" barrier. Or maybe it is due to the fact that dancehall has never really broken through for more than a few weeks on the charts. It is the eternal musical genre underdog. There will be no Supercat x The Hundreds tee shirt and thank God for that. While Bad Brains, Joy Division, Maiden, NWA, Slayer, Public Enemy, and the like become just brands for other brands to leech off there sitting in the corner will be dancehall. Your favorite band's logo is already being raped into some bullshit tee shirt that will be sold to some asshole who wants you to know what is on his fucking iPod. Yup. That is the long and short of it.

To me dancehall is pure and self generating. It does not conform to any fads other than its own. The fads that do come out of dancehall culture are purely ridiculous i.e daggering, silly dance troops, fashion dont's, pop culture references, and everything else.

The 1980's saw the rise of a new form of reggae and what we now refer to now as dancehall. As roots reggae started to get heavier both in dub form and what was coming out of the studios from session bands like The Roots Radics the music at some point became entirely digital. Most people point to Jammy's "Sleng Teng" riddim as the turning point, but a lot of people were already using digital production by that time. Sleng Teng more or less was the the nail in the coffin.

This period is where I plucked all of these tunes. It starts with some more rub-a-dub type stuff, but as soon as you get to "Hog In A Minty" it is pure digital digital roughness. It slows back down at the end, but that is after the music "bruks" your nanny's pussyhole.

Apologies for the slackness.

The cover I designed is a tribute to my personal favorite illustrator Wilfred Limonious. As far as I can gather Limonoius has no known website, contact, or representation. His illustrations captured the era better than any photograph could have. The dude is like Nagel of dancehall.

Anyways, I'm done nerding out. Just go to the link below and download the bloodclot thing unless you're retarded. I will post up a tracked out version soon, but for now fuck with the whole thing mixed into one long chune.

Mikey General

I'm such a nerd for this shit. 80's digikal digikal digikal!!!

Sound the siren!!!!

Tenor Saw

"Mi nearly broke mi neck" when I clicked on this tune.

In the last few years I've become pretty obsessed with digital 80's tunes. Being a dude that is obsessed with dancehall is alienating enough in Seattle, but being a dude that is obsessed with digital 80's tunes is like being that guy plus a bed wetter.

So even though I know 90% of you don't care about 80's digital tunes please feel free to email:

You can download the tune on DigitalMiDigital

Early B

This might be the best digital tune I've ever heard. Early B is one of the my favorite deejays ever and he buries this tune.

I have a bias towards the more eerie and dark style tunes. They tend to juxtapose the stereotypical "warm and sunny feel" of Jamaica. The ominous melody of the keys and the rolling bass together on this tune are just too good.

If you are a serious dj and want this tune drop the $6 and grab the re-issue at Deadly Dragon Sound

Junior Delgado

If you don't mess with pure digital 80's business then just read on cause this one ain't for you. If you do get down with digikal digikal then by all means grab this one.

Check out the "Chilly" tune.
