SLENG TENG INTERNATIONAL RIDDIM produced by DREADSQUAD 2011
Sleng Teng International Overview
The early 1980s brought a new sound to reggae with the arrival of the “Sleng Teng” riddim, a digital rhythm that changed the genre forever. By 2011, this classic style was still inspiring artists and producers. One key figure in this movement was DREADSQUAD, a producer from Poland known for blending digital reggae with modern beats. DREADSQUAD has worked with many international artists and is respected for helping spread reggae and dancehall across Europe. In 2011, the “Sleng Teng International Riddim” release featured a strong lineup. Dr Ring Ding, a German reggae and ska singer, brought his energetic style to “Sweet Like Candy.” Dreadsquad, as both producer and artist, contributed the track “Sleng Teng International,” showing his skill in both areas. General Good performed “Faya,” adding his own touch to the riddim. Gregory G Ras & Dannona teamed up for “Real Life,” bringing a mix of soulful lyrics and smooth delivery. Jabaman, also known in the European reggae scene, delivered “After Beeptone,” a song that fits well with the riddim’s digital roots. This release was popular in reggae sessions in 2011. It brought together artists from different backgrounds, all celebrating the timeless sound of the original Sleng Teng riddim, while adding their own voices to the tradition.
