Sleng Teng Aka Ting and Ting Riddim – Two Friends Records

Produced by Two Friends Records in 1991, Sleng Teng aka Ting and Ting gathers a strong dancehall cast over one of the era’s most recognisable riddims, with Anthony Red Rose’s Keeping A Fat Ting leading a lineup that also includes Brian and Tony Gold’s Sound Ting, Chevelle Franklyn’s Cheat Ting, Cocoa Tea’s Oil Ting, Cutty Ranks’ Idle Talk Ting, and Papa San’s Pretend Ting. The set leans into the playful Ting theme throughout, with sharp cuts from Flourgon, Home T, Hopeton Lindo, Peter Mann, Pink Panther, and Sister Charmaine giving it a lively, back-to-back feel. Michael Bennett and Patrick Lindsay are the key hands behind the Two Friends production side here, and the release sits neatly in the label’s early-90s run of vocal riddim projects.
