Dance Hall Style Riddim – BTR, Jah Life

Dance Hall Style produced by Henry Lawes, Hyman Wright, Percy Chin for BTR, Jah Life in 1984

Henry Lawes, Hyman Wright and Percy Chin teamed up on Dance Hall Style for BTR and Jah Life in 1984, a four-track rootsy dancehall cut from the early digital-to-early-dancehall crossover years. Frankie Paul leads the set with Dance Hall Style and D And G, while Major Worries’ Bawl Fe Serve and Scion Success’ Crying Time round out the lineup with that rough, stripped-back sound the era is known for. It’s a compact release that captures the lean, sound-system-ready feel of mid-’80s Jamaican production, with Frankie Paul’s voice giving the riddim its most recognisable pull.
