Equal Rights – Techniques 

EQUAL RIGHTS – TECHNIQUES

A warm, mid-’80s dancehall pulse runs through Equal Rights from Techniques, with the rhythm leaning into sweet singjay hooks, razor-clean vocal phrasing and that unmistakable Kingston swagger that keeps the groove moving without crowding it. Conroy Smith’s “Black Indian Girl” and Ernest Wilson’s take on “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” set a melodic tone, while Papa San and Lady G bring a sharper edge on “Legal Rights”; later, Thriller U pairing with Nardo Ranks on “Old Fire Stick” and Wayne Wonder cutting two sides gives the set extra lift. Techniques had a sharp ear for crossover-friendly dancehall in this era, and this selection sits right in that moment when studio polish, lovers-rock sweetness and street-level deejay talk were all sharing the same riddim space.
