Dance Hall Vibes Vol.2 – World Enterprise Records

DANCE HALL VIBES VOL.2 – WORLD ENTERPRISE RECORDS 1986

Dusty dancehall energy. Dance Hall Vibes Vol. 2 catches World Enterprise Records in that mid-’80s pocket where the rhythm is lean, the bass stays low and steady, and the vocal cuts do the talking. Andy Williams’ “Cornal Mind” and David Isaacs’ “She Loves Me Now” sit nicely beside I Roy’s two deejay turns, with “Come Dub Me Now” bringing that talk-over pressure while King Kong’s “Over Cover Lover” leans into the sweeter side of the set. The whole thing feels like one of those Striker Lee productions that moved easily between singers and toaster style, with Black Roots Band’s version cut helping to keep the riddim at the center of it all, and just seven voices across eight tracks.
