WARNING: NOT FOR THE ROOTS-ONLY HEADS ;D
New riddims and tunes in dancehall come with a frequency that make it hard to keep track of what is released and what was good. Also this year, I heard a lot of dancehall ranging from aweful (plenty of that coming out sadly, quality control anyone?) to very good, but I usually kinda get overflooded with all the releases and loose track of what I enjoyed. With that in mind I decided to, as I did in 2008, mix some of the riddims and tracks I rate together in mix-CD style to hear that 2010 dancehall I enjoy without having to skip or sit through tracks. With that I didn't focus on what's the hottest, latest or most hyped tracks, I just included tunes I like for various reasons (some hits, some not). There's riddims and tunes I simply highly rate but also some that might not be the best riddim-wise, but have wicked vocal flows and / or are funny tracks lyrically (Kartel has quite some like that imo). As you notice I also do not pick sides like Gaza, Gully, Alliance or so, just music me deal with! Since I'm not a dancehall-expert or so, more a roots man myself, this mix isn't your typical dancehall mix I guess. Has numerous 'older' tunes in dancehall standards (from all over the year), no hyped up screaming or louder than loud sirens all over the place, so probably is not of interest to the up-to-date fans. There's plenty of soundsamples in here though, don't get me wrong (even a siren or two) but I tried to make the music make the mix, not the effects. Anyway, I thought there surely will be some others with similar experience with nowadays dancehall, so they might be interested in a mix like this as well, thus decided to upload it. Must admit there's plenty of autotune in the mix as well. I dislike the effect and find it totally unnecessary (can't sing? don't try either!), but kinda got used to it over the years since it's present in more tunes than there are tunes without it. Sad thing, but ah so it go, can't say I didn't warn you!
Enjoy and drop me a comment when you rated the effort.
