1990s Dancehall Podcast Updated – Download Now

Hi everyone, I posted a new episode to the Highlanda Sounds 1990s Dancehall Podcast.

Please click HERE to view it.

See you there!

- Highlanda

The 90s was a time in dancehall when songs had one-word titles like “Memories” by Beenie Man, “Suspense” by Bounty Killer and “Badmind” by Capleton. Singer Wayne Wonder made his mark on the dancehall world, voicing hit tunes in a prolific manner on many an uptempo riddim. This was a time when the sound clash business was at its apex with the leading artist being Mr. Rodney Price, also known as The Warlord, or Poor People’s Governor, or more popularly as BOUNTY KILLER. All you had to do be the best DJ/sound system, especially in Brooklyn where I was at the time, was play the most Bounty – it was that simple.

Dancehall Juggling Center debuts with First Friday Atlanta Audio

1

Dancehall Juggling Center brings you audio highlights from live concerts, parties, and dances.  The term “juggling” refers to a type of dancehall performance that consists of a sound system selector weaving together a number of tunes on the same rhythm to create a continuous dance groove.  This type of selecting is often referred to as “mixing.”

Highlanda and other top rated sound systems adopt different creative styles of juggling to provide interactive, action-packed performances in front of live audiences at an energy level much higher than that which can be accomplished through mixtapes or radio. Listen to the hardcore and nightclub dancehall vibes here and keep coming back for updates. Remember, this audio footage is ALL THE WAY LIVE so parental advisory is strongly recommended!

Reggae Vault Classics 10

1

This is the latest episode of the syndicated Reggae Vault Classics podcast produced by Kahlil Wonda of Highlanda Sound for the week of March 17, 2009 featuring classic reggae music in a DJ mixed format with no talking.

This episode starts with two of the biggest dancehall riddims ever with 6 tunes on the General followed by the 1990′s own Kette Drum riddimKette Drum is so prolific I could have mixed an entire 30 minute show with just Kette Drum alone, but decided to select 6 of the biggest songs on the riddim instead.  About 15 minutes in, I enter the freestyle part of the mix with classics from Sluggy Ranks, Barrington Levy, Johnny Osborne, and Dennis Brown.  D. Brown’s late 1970′s recording, ‘My Time,’ is followed up by Brooklyn, New York’s Don One label’s late 1990′s Dennis Brown vault classic entitled ‘Believe In Yourself’ on the Ballistic Affair riddim – one of the last works recorded by the late great Crown Prince of Reggae.  Any true Highlanda fan knows something is missing if there’s no Studio One in the mix so next comes Horace Andy with ‘Mr. Bassie’ – Studio 1st mega hit.  Freddie McGregor‘s version of Junior Byle’s original ‘Curly Lox’ blends right in and then the B side dub version is featured as well, before Freddie closes out Reggae Vault Classics # 10 with ‘I See It In You.’

Right Click the file and select “Save As…” to download the entire mp3 file or just click to listen to the audio stream now.  We sincerely hope you enjoy the selections and mixing.  Please send your comments, feedback, and requests to podcast@highlanda.net or feel free to comment here.  If you like what you hear please subscribe to get automatic updates when new shows are added.
