Find yourself not trying to wheel up the soundcloud player around 0:46… On another note, could this perhaps be the return of daggering in the club? (via LargeUp)

Robin, the man behind the nice nice Sensible Dancehall blog, sent us a picture of Bristol’s DJ Fireman Sam wearing our OVERCOME T-shirt. He played alongside The Heatwave at a David Rodigan show a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks, Robin, for the heads up and thanks, Sam, for representing SEEN!
PS: Make sure to check one of Sam’s Spring Bashment 2012 mix. It’s a selection of the finest Dancehall, Reggae, Soca, UK Funky and Bass music – with a few exclusives.

According to Downsound Records’ new Twitter account, »Kingston Signals« returns.
Not as a weekly webcast program, but as a participant witness of Jamaican culture and music as it is today. (via Downsound Records)
Once again, label boss Josef Bogdanovich and photographer Peter Dean Rickards are joining forces.
The duo had pioneered webcasting a Jamaica-based web program live from the turntables of Jamaica’s most respected sound-systems to broadband back in 1999. The program hosted and profiled the greatest that Jamaican music had to offer. From the younger sounds like Coppershot spinning tracks for a pre-famous Sean Paul, to veterans like U-Roy and King Yellowman performing live on King Stur Gav.
Listen to the first ever Kingston Signals broadcast which happened at 80 Constant Spring Road in Kingston Jamaica on December 1999 below. It featured Exodus Nuclear as the lead sound with artists such as Spragga Benz and Delly Ranks making appearances.

In case you neva know: Dre Skull just added another release to the ever-growing Mixpak dancehall catalogue. The »Loudspeaker« riddim is definitely a contender for the riddim of summer 2012. Beenie Man is on it, Natalie Storm, Machel Montana, and Popcaan, too:
King of the Dancehall, Beenie Man, sets the riddim alight with his fast-flowing ode to the female form on »Hot Like Fire«, while Mixpak family member Natalie Storm delivers a classic braggadocios take on »Rock The Runway.« Normally found voicing the upper echelons of bpm, Soca Monarch Machel Montano makes a rare appearance on a dancehall riddim, keeping his energy intact for an expressive tune dedicated to winery – “Go Down.« Popcaan rounds off the release with »The System«, an epic, conscious track that sees the young deejay describe the trials and struggles of ghetto youth in the face of the system.
My favourites are definitely Nats and Pappy. Check his tune »The System« here
