Absolutely loving this one. A refreshing sound, calming the dancehall waves. Sometimes dancehall gets too too lit, it starts to go off track – happens every 5-7 years….the sound always sort of changes/evolves. A very dreamy sort of sound, Crab Inna Barrel Riddim might just be onto something here….straight outta Japan!
