We Love Di Vibes - 2012 Dancehall Mix - Summer Stylee

We Love Di Vibes - 2012 Dancehall Mix - Summer Stylee

Party mi seh! :-)

My latest and well received 2012 Roots & Culture mix 'Reggae Summer Again' was released last month and here's its follow-up inna dancehall stylee already. I (very) soon wont have much time for mixing for a while (for good reasons), so soon(er) wanted to have a mix of recent Dancehall to accompany the Roots & Culture one to move & groove to this summer (and beyond)! Summer vibes the recipe, this the result: We Love Di Vibes - 2012 Dancehall Mix - Summer Stylee.

I know most following BMC's Reggae Mixes do so for the modern roots and foundation styled mixes, but hey, I do like my fair share of dancehall vibes and enjoy making one or two mixes a year with those riddims and tunes that hit me one way or the other. And when I made 'm, I might as well share it with the interested few. This one has a high percentage of summer party vibes, feel-good style, as opposed to the 'harder' side of dancehall. This will make you move! No idea whether it contains *the* big hits or so, I'm not that 'up-to-date', I just know it sounds good to me and makes me dance. That's all there is to it.

80 minutes, no full tunes, shorter pieces mixed together in the traditional mixtape style. Whole heap of different artists and very very few sound effects, which makes this different than most dancehall mixes around. We Love Di Vibes!

Reggae Summer Again - 2011/12 Roots & Culture Niceness (mix)

Summer time is here, time for another good-old roots & culture mix, summer style at BMC's Reggae Blog. Productions from mainly JA, UK and EU. Variety of riddims and artists and mixed in the usual BMC style: no full tunes, sound samples here and there, one continuous cd-length mix in the old-school mixtape tradition. The mix starts in a old-school fashion with Busy Signal introducing the mix with Reggae Music Again, after which a lengthy segment follows of modern tunes on old-day styled riddims that should be enjoyable for both lovers of the old and new. This time there's a particularly long part on traditional rocksteady riddims, lovely and perfect for the summer months! Big tunes, enjoy people and thanks for the continuous support.

Swing On - a 2011 Dancehall Mix - the sequel

After Have A Good Time (a 2011 Dancehall Mix - summer edition) from late august here is a second and final mix showcasing my choice of the most interesting dancehall from 2011. The two mixes together are a pretty good summary of what I've been rating in dancehall last year, but do realize it is just that: MY choice, MY taste and no objective selection as such. These tunes just work for me, for various reasons, and contain big hits, but also less common tunes. First about an hour of nice, ruff and / or swinging riddims after which there's a 'slow it down'-break with the Rio and Danger Luv riddims, after which we step on it again with a Popcaan & Vybz Kartel segment. The end of this mix is somewhat unusual for modern dancehall mixes and is by the true King Of The Dancehall: Yellowman, giving his opinion on the music of today. Might not be my view, but when Yellow speaks, it's worth to make it heard in my book and so an interesting end of my picks of 2011 dancehall!

As said last time, I'm not a fully up-to-date, 'only-the-latest-counts' dancehall selector, so this mix has tracks from all over the year, probably heard many times in the tons of other mixes coming out almost daily. Truth is, I don't care, as I'm just making 'm for myself as (now 2x) 80 minutes of dancehall I do rate out of all the mediocre stuff out there. And since I have the mix, I might as well share it for others into it like me: not all up-to-date, just interested in hearing a nice selection of dancehall from 2011 without a loud siren or screaming every 30 seconds. That's all there is to it, just so you know, feel free to disagree. For now: check it out and Swing On!

Big up all artists and producers for yet another year with nuff music to enjoy!

ENJOY!

Note:
What those 'in the know' might notice is the absence of the many lyrical battles we had this year. This is no accident, personally got pretty tired of these 'lyrical wars' going on: Beenie vs Bounty, Iyara vs Deva Bratt , Kiprich vs Merciless, Tony Matterhorn vs Twin Of Twins, Chase Cross vs Bounty and more. I do like a good lyrical fued and used some in earlier mixes, but in 2011 it seemed the attention-seeker to use, loosing its appeal for me and so I just left 'm all out in this second 2011 mix of mine. Plenty good stuff (often better even) left and that's all that matters.

Those more interested in 2011 Roots & Culture style, scroll down to the False Alarm mix! :)
