Sleng Teng International Riddim – Dreadsquad

Dreadsquad’s take on the Sleng Teng rhythm leans into the digital swing of the original while giving it a rougher, club-ready lift. The set is packed with voices that know how to work a classic pattern, with Dr Ring Ding’s “Sweet Like Candy, ” Natalie Storm’s “Beat That Chest, ” and Perfect Giddimani’s “Champions Anthem” sitting near the front of the line. There’s a nice bit of continuity here too: Dreadsquad were already moving between rootsy reggae, dubby electronics and old-school dancehall textures around this period, and this riddim fits right into that run without sounding like a museum piece. The version cut helps anchor the whole thing, and the Superfly issue shows how well the crew handled a familiar foundation with a fresher, international edge.
