For a while I never knew who the actual artist was behind Dr. Evil, but he was always popping up mixes and doing silly impressions. Well those of you that don’t know its Leftside, formally from Leftside & Esco. The track “Transform” has been out for a while where Leftside uses his alter ego to do various impressions, see for yourself.

I just recently caught the video to Busy Signal’s “Nightshift/One More Night”, if you haven’t seen it press play.

Gotta give The Heatwave Blog their due for this one….classics never die….check the details below…

…Yesterday was 25 years to the day since Wayne Smith’s anthem Under Mi Sleng Teng was first played in a dance.

The tune was built at Jammy’s studio in Waterhouse before being unleashed during a clash with Black Scorpio at Waltham Park Road on 23rd February 1985. It flattened the dance and dominated the scene for months, with dozens (and later hundreds) of artists and producers rushing to record their own versions of the rhythm track.

Generally acknowledged as the first fully computerised dancehall riddim, Sleng Teng completely revolutionised Jamaican music and paved the way for all the ragga, bashment, dancehall or whatever you want to call it that I love so much….

I swear Vybz shoots 90% of his videos in his house, anyway here is the video for his “Unfaithful” track.

I mentioned a while back that Wyclef and Mavado collaborated on the Hold On track back in the late fall of 2009. The track was already well suited for the disaster but its been altered again to speak to the quake victims in Haiti.

This is the video from a Guinness Sounds Of Greatness, sound system competition that took place over 3 months and one sounds was crowned best for 2009. The clip is full length so you may want to skip around but check out as much as possible there are some good treats in there.

Here is the video compilation of the Style and Swagga Riddim.

New reggae/dancehall blog Soundclash kicked off their new blog in a big way: by sitting down with Gee-Fus of The Immortal Stone Love. Check out the details below…

…The flat-out best way to listen to Jamaican music is outside, late at night, and earth-shakingly loud—and the perfect formula for this experience is Stone Love. A soundsystem, a label, and a studio, they’re set for worldwide domination. They aren’t called the “Immortal Stone Love” for nothing. The Mirror spoke to one of Stone Love’s 30-plus staff and star selector, Gee-Fus, from the home base in Kingston, Jamaica….
