Built from the 1985 Sleng Teng wave and tied to King Jammy’s digital breakthrough, this various-label set pulls together one of dancehall’s most important riddims, first heard on Wayne Smith’s Under Me Sleng Teng and quickly copied across the business. Alongside cuts from Al Campbell, Admiral Bailey, Andrew Paul, Anthony B and Anthony Red Rose, it captures the moment when the keyboard-led, computerised sound took over the dancehall and set off a flood of versions. That mix of early digital pressure, sharp bassline repetition and sound-system energy is exactly what makes Sleng Teng so easy to recognise, whether it’s voiced as a dub, a singjay tune or a straight-up rub-a-dub anthem.
