Dancehall time again at BMC's REGGAE BLOG! After Have A Good Time (a 2011 Dancehall Mix - summer edition) from late august here is a second and final mix together showcasing my choice of the most interesting dancehall from 2011 (feel free to disagree). No official best or anything, just a mix with tunes that just work for me, for various reasons, and contain big hits, but also less common tunes and even ends with a contribution from the true King Of The Dancehall: Yellowman (giving his opinion on the music).
As I'm not a fully up-to-date, 'only-the-latest' dancehall selector, this mix has tracks from all over the year probably heard many times already by the up-to-date ones. Truth is, I don't care, as I'm just primarily making 'm for myself as (now 2x) 80 minutes of dancehall I do rate out of all the mediocre stuff out there and without a loud siren or screaming every 30 seconds (not too many samples here). And since I have the mix, I might as well share it for others into it like me. That's all there is to it, just so you know. For now: check it out and Swing On!
For those more into roots & culture, check out my still available latest False Alarm - a 2011 Roots & Culture Mix.
