MIX: 2006 dancehall in the mix - Part 1 - 3

So far my mixes of modern Jamaican tunes have been focussed on tunes with rootsy riddims. However, I also really enjoy some of the bashment and other non-roots style riddims coming out at high speed in Jamaica and therefore I've made a couple of mixes, 3 in total, with my personal favourite bashment and other alternative riddims and tracks from 2006 (plus a couple from late 2005). Note that it is not a general best of, but tunes I personally have enjoyed in that style in the last year. This certainly wont be to all the roots-heads' taste, but don't worry, I'll be back soon with some more foundation and modern roots mixes as well. ;-)
First the bashy stuff though, what can be extremely energetic with wicked flows, I love it! Here is mix 1 of the 3, the two others will follow. Lots of tunes, almost 1 hour for this part 1, with label of 45 and riddim in brackets behind the title. Almost all tracks in the mixes have been recorded from my own 45s with the exception of two or three tracks, which come from CD. Mainly relatively short pieces per tune and quality not too high, but imo all more than enough to be very enjoyable and to get an idea of dancehall in 2006 and of what maybe would be nice to get for yourself (most of it is still commercially available I think).
Finally, I'd just like to add that some of these tunes may contain lyrics that some might find offensive or otherwise unpleasant to listen to, just so you know in advance. For the rest, I'd say enjoy and remember feedback is always appreciated! :-)
