Sentinel Sound

Dancehall Foundation Volume 4

Although current Dancehall, like most of the music nowadays, is produced digitally, ‘Digital Dancehall’ stands for the style of Jamaican music, that was popular in the 80ies after the ‘Sleng Teng’ riddim completely changed the aesthetics of Dancehall.

The studios, where until then bands like the Roots Radics produced the Riddim tracks for the vocalists, were now the playground for a new set of musical wizards like Steely and Cleevie who used keyboards and synthesizers instead of live musicians.
