D-Swift's Caribbean Rhythms

02/22/11 • 55 min

Summer is quickly approaching. I’ve discovered a way to bring in the party early...Reggae/Dancehall classics! That’s right, this mix is all about reggae and some of my favorite riddims. Over the past few summers I’ve had the pleasure to travel to several countries and islands of the Caribbean to witness the energy and dancing first hand. There are so many styles and sub genres to cover, but being a westcoaster, thought I’d share a few of my favorites in a mix! As always the mix is recorded live using Technics 1200′s and a Rane 57SL Mixer. Enjoy, Beenie Man – Who Am I Sean Paul – Infiltrate Terror Fabulous – Action Chaka Demus and Pliers – Murder She Wrote (Dj Vybez Edit) Sasha – Dat Sexy Body Tanto & Devonte – Everyone Falls in Love (QH Chorus Break) Capleton – Tour Diana King – Shy Guy Black Panta – Do What U Want (19Sixty Edit) Mr.Vegas – Heads High (Remix) Mad Lion – Take it Easy TOK – Chi Chi Man Lil Vicious & Doug E Fresh – Freaks Bob Marley – Could You Be Loved Wayne Wonder – No Letting Go (Diwali Riddim) Kevin Little – Turn Me On Rupee – Tempted To Touch Mad Cobra – Flex Musical Youth – Pass The Dutchie Dj Quik – Tha Bombudd Sister Nancy – Bam Bam Supercat, Biggie, Puffy – Dolly My Baby (RMX) UB40 – Can’t Help Falling In Love (19Sixty Edit) Shaggy- Mr. Boombastic Shabba Ranks – Mr. Loverman UB40 – Red, Red Wine Bob Marley – I Shot The Sheriff (19Sixty Edit)
