Scandal Overview
In 1996, dancehall sound systems brought a new energy with the release of the Scandal Riddim. This special sound system cut mixed gritty beats with smooth dancehall flow, making it a favorite among selectors that year. The riddim was produced by Danny Browne for Main Street Records. Browne is known for shaping the sound of 1990s dancehall and for his work on Main Street, a label that helped launch many hit songs. Selectors would often start their sets with Bannie Brown — Unknown, setting the tone with a fresh voice. Goofy — Fudgie was a standout track, as Goofy (also known as Mr. G) was already known for his witty lyrics and had a big hit with “Fudgie” in the mid-1990s. Harry Toddler — Gal Shark brought more energy; Harry Toddler was a member of the Scare Dem Crew, a group that made waves in dancehall during the era. Hawkeye — Postman added a playful style, while Lady G — My Man showcased Lady G’s strong presence as one of dancehall’s leading women. Lady G is known for her classic “Nuff Respect,” a milestone for female artists in dancehall. Other selections in the mix included Lupa Shirley — Shirley, Madd Anju — Freezer, and Red Rat & Shelly — That Girl Shelly Ann. This selector’s mix became a staple in 1996 sessions, capturing the lively and polished sound of the time.
