Irie Jamms Show The Sleng Teng Story - DJ 745

What this episode covers

DJ 745 sits down with Noel Davey to reveal the real story behind who created the infamous 'Sleng Teng' riddim which gave Wayne Smith a major digital hit single with 'Under Mi Sleng Teng' back in 1985 and has spurred countless 'versions' of this riddim over the last 31 years-so many versions have been created that Sleng Teng is among the most versioned (rerecorded) of Jamaican riddims, listing around 380 versions. In the first hour of the show DJ 745 touches into the latest reggae music from Shuga (Caribbean People), Queen Ifrica (Ask My Granny), Dalton Harris and Romain Virgo on Vikings Productions 'LoveSick' rhythm as well as a Single Of The Week lifted from Freddie Mcgregor's excellent 'True To My Roots' set on VP Records. For Riddim Reloaded DJ 745 homes in on a combination from Exile Di Brave's 'To Di Foundation' album released in June 2016 featuring Don Carl as well as music from Jah9's latest album and Mykal Rose's 'Rasta State' album.
