Bless up for the d/load Jah Blem! Pure fiyah inyah

Lincoln “Sugar” Minott (May 25, 1956 – July 10, 2010) is known in Jamaica and around the world as one of the greatest and most beloved figures in reggae music. From his initial work with The African Brothers, to his genre-defining early dancehall work at Studio One, to his rub-a-dub at Channel One and beyond, Sugar wasn’t just part of reggae, he was at the center of it.

Sugar was also much more than a vocalist – he was a producer who led many of his own recording sessions, ran labels and distribution, and also worked with sound systems. His legendary Youthman Promotion sound is still known today not just for the music it produced, but for the long list of young vocalists it raised.

In celebration of his 65th birthday, VP Records drew for a mix from some of the best in the western US. Virgo Hi-Power is a long-time sound crew featuring DJ Boomshot (Maui, Hawaii) and DJ Solid Rock (San Diego, California). Their focus in this 80-minute tribute is mostly early 80s, with flashes of more style.
The mix includes just some of Sugar’s hits, LP cuts, singles, hidden gems, a few dubs, and excerpts from Carter Van Pelt’s Sugar Minott WKCR Memorial Broadcast (available at archive.org). As always, Sugar is nice, rough, timeless, bubbling, and sweet. 

This is SWEETER STILL – Sugar Minott at 65.

Sentinel Sound presents Dancehall Foundation Vol. 4 – Digital Dancehall

Digital media, digital communication, digital currency - “Digital” is a word, that indicates innovation.
Therefore, it’s often used to describe the future of things.
However, in the Dancehall context it means pretty much the opposite:
Although current Dancehall, like most of the music nowadays, is produced digitally, “Digital Dancehall” stands for the style of Jamaican music, that was popular in the 80ies after the “Sleng Teng” riddim completely changed the aesthetics of Dancehall.
The studios, where until then bands like the Roots Radics produced the Riddimtracks for the vocalists, were now the playground for a new set of musical wizards like Steely and Cleevie who used keyboards and synthesizers instead of live musicians.
Fast forward to 2018:
The results of the creative explosion, caused by this generation change, are now the focus of the fourth edition of Sentinel’s Dancehall Foundation mixtape series.
47 tunes of raw energy and simple beauty, that give you a clue why the arrival of digital production technologies caused such an earthquake in the Jamaican music scene.

Enjoy!
