Dimelow presents: Dancehall Fusion Mixtape Series

New York based, Trinidad and Tobago born artist Lenky Don kicks off new Amsterdam based record label Dimelow with hot single "Rapid Cash Flow". The label gives space to Dancehall and Latinx Reggaetón artists to be inventive and create exciting independent music.

Lenky Don and Bony Fly linked up in East Flatbush, Brooklyn in July 2018. They chilled together in Lenky’s apartment, freestyling while Bony Fly played his beats and Lenky improvised over them. Eventually, they came up with the track “Rapid Cash Flow”, an ode to Lenky Don’s career so far and the image he has created through his many ventures and collaborations. The track was recorded in 15 minutes - when you’ve got it, you’ve got it. The late 90s dancehall flow combined with the dynamic reggaeton beat hits the nail on the head.

Lenky has been in New York since the late 80s, where he quickly found his feet and made a name for himself. Spin and Sauce magazine described him as having a “machine-gun flow”, something he has kept at his core no matter the genre, and this track is no different. The sound they’ve created draws on Lenky Don’s rough-and-ready dancehall style, as well as Bony Fly’s passion for the genre and production talents. 

The combination results in an effortless, spontaneous burst of energy. “Rapid Cash Flow” explains how he got into the business and stayed relevant, through hard work, keeping his lyrics sharp and pushing the envelope. We get a small glimpse into Lenky Don’s universe. It’s a special, unconventional track, bringing a breath of fresh air to reggaeton and dancehall. It is likely the first of many on Dimelow from Lenky Don. The release comes with a riddim version dubbed by Bony Fly, available exclusively on Bandcamp.

Rapid Cash Flow

« XPRNC » is Bony Fly’s debut EP. With a merge of sounds and styles from Jamaica, London, and New York, the EP takes us on a musical journey, focusing on dancehall, and afrobeats.

Bony Fly invited some of the best dancehall artists including Busy Signal, Capleton, QQ and Million Stylez, as well as veteran duo Tony Curtis and Jigsy King. He also created a space for up-and-coming artists, like Emiz and Fame from Nigeria, Safa Diallo from Guinea, and Vick D from Colombia to show off their talent and collaborate to create something beautiful. Bony Fly’s crossover style offers the perfect beats to all these talented artists.

Born and raised in Geneva, Bony Fly loves to investigate the diversity in musical styles and dancehall influences on a global scale. For the last 4 years, he has absorbed as much as he could, and XPRNC is the result of his exploration of different sonic spaces and regions, rather than a reflection of neatly defined genres. A dancehall EP that will rock the crowds from Geneva to Jamaica and back.

Recording of Bony Fly's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021. 

"With this mix, I tried to conciliate the contemporary Caribbean and Latinx music with more leftfield productions and dubplates. In this journey, you will navigate through different eras and genres, while sticking to a quite precise (and vague at the same time) storyline: soundsystem-oriented music. Get ready for a special reggaeton/dancehall/dembow/dub-infused set, that took place live at the 2021 edition of Dekmantel Selectors."

Super hyped to be back after a long break with Dancehall Fusion #14, this time brought to you by King Doudou. Hugo Douster, Lyon-based DJ and producer is well-known for examining the common ties between Latino-American dembow, Ivorian coupé décalé, trap music or baile funk. Wether in his productions for PNL, Bad Gyal, J Balvin, or in his infamous remixes and bootlegs, the Latin Grammy-awarded producer easily conciliates the mainstream with the underground, Europe with America and the old-school with the avant-garde.

This mix has been recorded during our last event, and Hugo has not disappointed us. From the start, his sound connected with our ears and he provided us with one of his signature DJ sets, starting at 80bpm, reaching 160bpm, and closing the loop with some perreo lento. Enjoy this 2hr long journey, navigating through dancehall, shatta, Dominican dembow, Euro-dance edits, break-beats, and reggaeton.
This one is special to us, as Hugo's talent, open-mindedness, and approach to music have been particularly inspiring from day one!

Dancehall Fusion #14: King Doudou

Brand new mix by Amsterdam’s very own DJ Madbwoy. We first came accross Earl during a festival in Amsterdam, and directly connected with his vibe and energy on stage. He specially prepared a mix for his debut performance in Geneva this Saturday.

As Holland’s most appreciated dancehall/reggae deejays, you can’t expect anything less than some proper bashment vibes. Ranging from 90’s to 2010’s dancehall, this mix highlights Madbwoy's juggling skills and selection. We’re super happy to have a fellow Echobox Radio resident for Jamrock Radio at our events and mixes series!

Super excited to introduce Sandor Dayala, straight from the Hague for the 16th edition of the mixes series. Here some words by the man himself:
"My love for dancehall goes way back to when i was 11 going to my school parties, where they played dirty house, moombahton & bubbling. From there i got inspired to listen to real Jamaican dancehall & discover artists such as Vybz Kartel, Mavado & more. My parents used to listen a lot to reggae & dub so i think the foundation for my love for those genres started there. The dutch hiphop scene has also a lot of influences from Surinam, Caribbean & African music, since we have a wide variety of cultures living here. With this mix i tried to incorporate some riddims, some oldschool dancehall, newer tracks, dubplates  & even a bit of Portugese tarraxo. I really enjoyed making this mixtape, diving into my library & i can't wait to play this tracks in real life again. Enjoy <3"

Niño Loops, key-member of Lausanne's House of Perreo collective and fine connoisseur of latinx music, is taking care of this comeback to please your ears.

Sebastián prepared a high-energy mix, full of sonic crossroads and musical references. He starts off with some Dominican dembow, slowly taking up the tempo, before suddenly making an unexpected and brilliant U-turn towards some trance-infused music, jersey club, and smoothly closing the mix with reggaeton.

New York-based DJ Dana Lu reignites the Dancehall Fusion Mixtapes Series, with its 21st installment. This mixtape anticipates her upcoming performance at the Dancehall Fusion event, offering a taste of what's to come.

FLOWERZ is taking over the 22nd installment of the series in anticipation of the first Dancehall Fusion of 2024. The DJ duo is composed of Jessifly and Lelowow.

They blessed us with this mix that draws from their inspirations, composed of mainly reggaetón, old and new. From that starting point, they've expanded their selection to include some dembow, shatta, cumbiatón and dancehall.

Dancehall Fusion #22: Flowerz

Introducing the 23rd installment of our mixtape series, we're thrilled to feature swiss OGs Soldia Sound from Lausanne.

Their mix is a dynamic and efficient blend: swift jugglings, FX samplers, special shoutouts, heavy basslines, and synth melodies that include timeless classics. It's a heartfelt homage to the iconic artists of that era, whether they've become superstars or remained in the shadows, all of whom have shaped Soldia Sound into the force it is today. +++ they blessed us with a tracklist to be found here:

Three months after coming to Geneva for one of the best DJ sets of the Dancehall Fusion event series, Platt and Samrai blessed us with a special mix prepared for the occasion. They initially began Swing Ting as a specialist radio show before becoming a party more than 10 years ago. They launched the Swing Ting label, seeking to provide a platform to release fresh music from the family as well as from friends, peers and like-minded producers. 
Samrai & Platt have built a strong reputation of rocking parties beyond just the UK taking the Swing Ting sound on the road with bookings across Europe, Asia, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Thanks to the Manchester family for sharing their music with us, we hope you enjoy the mix as much as we do!

Dancehall Fusion #4 : Swing Ting (Samrai & Platt)

Dancehall veteran Capleton and promising music producer Bony Fly team up to deliver a ruff dancehall track, released on Evidence Music.
	Capleton’s assured lyricism is reflected in his dangerous flow, fitting perfectly with the hard-hitting riddim. "Badmind" is about letting the negative vibes aside to give place to positivity. Drawing his inspiration on 90’s dancehall versions, Bony Fly creates a percussive heavy bass loaded riddim, with cutting edge drums and abstract melodic patterns. Like King Shango’s previous hits "Fire" or "Who Dem", this one guarantees a forward in any session.
This single is the first in a series between Evidence Music and Bony Fly.

The summer is hot, and with Busy Signal teaming up with Million Stylez and Safa Diallo on a Bony Fly instrumental, it will only get hotter.

After the recent success of Bony Fly’s first release on Evidence Music with Capleton (Badmind), they are dropping a second single before his album release in the early fall.

For this one, the promising producer cooked up an international summer hit: "Summer Sign" features one of the hottest Jamaican artists Busy Signal, one of the most talented European singer Million Stylez, and the promising Guinean Safa Diallo for an explosive single.

Summer Sign echoes the heat of the summer and Bony Fly’s instrumental provides the perfect beat for it.

Dancehall Fusion #6 : Felix Hall

New York based, Trinidad and Tobago born artist Lenky Don kicks off new Amsterdam based record label Dimelow with hot single "Rapid Cash Flow". The label gives space to Dancehall and Latinx Reggaetón artists to be inventive and create exciting independent music.

Lenky Don and Bony Fly linked up in East Flatbush, Brooklyn in July 2018. They chilled together in Lenky’s apartment, freestyling while Bony Fly played his beats and Lenky improvised over them. Eventually, they came up with the track “Rapid Cash Flow”, an ode to Lenky Don’s career so far and the image he has created through his many ventures and collaborations. The track was recorded in 15 minutes - when you’ve got it, you’ve got it. The late 90s dancehall flow combined with the dynamic reggaeton beat hits the nail on the head.

Lenky has been in New York since the late 80s, where he quickly found his feet and made a name for himself. Spin and Sauce magazine described him as having a “machine-gun flow”, something he has kept at his core no matter the genre, and this track is no different. The sound they’ve created draws on Lenky Don’s rough-and-ready dancehall style, as well as Bony Fly’s passion for the genre and production talents. 

The combination results in an effortless, spontaneous burst of energy. “Rapid Cash Flow” explains how he got into the business and stayed relevant, through hard work, keeping his lyrics sharp and pushing the envelope. We get a small glimpse into Lenky Don’s universe. It’s a special, unconventional track, bringing a breath of fresh air to reggaeton and dancehall. It is likely the first of many on Dimelow from Lenky Don. The release comes with a riddim version dubbed by Bony Fly, available exclusively on Bandcamp.

Dancehall Fusion #11: Ghetto Vanessa

Dancehall Fusion mix number 12 is provided by excellent DJ and selector Tenor Rock. He is mainly known for being part of the international soundclash champion crew Ma Gash Intl.

Tenor Rock is one of the key exponents of the dancehall scene in Geneva. He and his crew started in the underground scene of Geneva with a notable longstanding residency in the famous squat “K-Bar“ in the 2000s. They rapidly built up their reputation, becoming a major act in the soundclash scene, with a memorable win against Brooklyn-based LP International in Trinidad and Tobago. With numerous victories and gigs under his belt, Tenor Rock started his solo career by touring Switzerland, before becoming a well-respected dancehall DJ in Europe. 

We are blessed to have this notorious Geneva-based DJ in the series, who provided us with one of our favourite mixes of the past year. Tired of the new dancehall wave, Tenor Rock presents an extended mix of his top dancehall tracks released in the last couple of years. His statement is clear, as the selection is based on one solid criteria: the sonic aesthetic is based on 1990’s bashment exclusively. Once again, after his wonderful show at the last Dancehall Fusion, this mix reveals the knowledge and skills of Tenor Rock behind the decks. Tracklist TBA.

Dancehall Fusion mix 13 this time with Brooklyn-based notorious DJ and producer Uproot Andy. We first came across Andy’s work through his Red Bull Radio show Bien Buena, alongside Riobamba. Currently member of the Canada-based Moonshine collective, Uproot Andy has been a staple music activist in the scene for over a decade.

Freshly back from a tour in Colombia, he managed to deliver a special condensed selection of dancehall-(up)rooted tracks, in anticipation to his set at La Gravière. In this mix, he explores different and lesser known styles of dancehall in different languages to examine how early reggaeton has criss-crossed with afrobeats, and reggae to produce original new sounds in places like Kenya, Martinique and Mauritius.

Get ready for an outernational journey exposing the worldwide influences of dancehall!
