Wayne Smith - Sleng Teng (1986)

Prince Jammy and Wayne Smith pioneered something huge with this record- the "computer riddim" era officially launches and dancehall goes digital. 

The record got an overhaul with an alternate track listing (and slightly different name) in 2004. 

Hear this piece of synth reggae history- brought to you by the streets and clubs of Kingston and the Casio MT-40...

Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires - 1981

Born Hopeton Overton Brown in Kingston, Jamaica in 1960; the artist known as Scientist spent more time in his lab save for Lee Perry concocting some of the finest Dub Reggae this side of Jupiter. 

In a battle for the best dub release ever, it comes a close second up against The Upsetters' Super Ape.

Album is fire.
