Throwback music: Watch How The People Dancing – Unity Sounds From The London Dancehall 86-89
FIYA SH-T!!!! Check the science from Seady Bloggin':
"The title pretty much says it all – this is a collection of obscure British dancehall singles released on the Unity Sounds label in the mid-late 80s. Deceptively simple digital production dictates the sound, these producers amply demonstrate how some bass and Casio drums can go a loooong way. The singing and the toasting is not too shabby either. Parallels to early electro Hip-Hop are easily apparent, as are the influences on later permutations of ragga. As usual with these things, versions are included."
