Tropical House and Jamaica - Pure Fire

Fresh out of the musical oven comes this monster hit from British DJ and producer Sigala receiving colourful and exotic visuals. We say maaaadd this ya video shaaaaat.

Following in the current vein of the the hot genre so titled "tropical  house" with a health dose of drum and bass, this song has obvious reggae roots and no wonder they shot the video in Jamaica . "How do you Love"  features melodic steel drums giving a real Caribbean feel along with  hook from Mariah Carey's 1996 hit 'Always Be My Baby'. This song features vocals from rapidly rising 16-year-old star Imani, who’s already been compared to TLC and Rihanna.

She bounces around these beautiful blue beaches and glistening seas in Portland, Jamaica  bringing maaad tropical vibes.

The video looks gorgeous and looks like a postcard for a vacation.

A feel good song and sure shot for summer anthem....... maaad catchy.....way up

This song reminds me of the other dance juggernaut which has a similar tropical vibe (albeit Phuket, Thailand ) which I posted earlier titled Every (Single) Man's Dream Vacation.

CeCile strikes Gold

Cecile born Cecile Charlton we feel must be one of Dancehall Music's most versatile performers, this girl is talented beyond compare. She can sing, she can dj or toast or rap (whatever you call it) and to boot she is a FINE looking young lady.

Probably one of the more under-rated talents in Jamaica she shows her true talent on the recent single by DJ Fresh "Gold Dust". She sure hit the jackpot with this one, the song is maaad 

Gold Dust is the third single released from DJ Fresh's second album Kryptonite. It reached #6 on the UK Dance charts, #24 on the UK Singles Chart and #39 on the Irish Singles Chart and is a favourite club djs worldwide.

The song was actually first recorded by British sensation Ms Dynamite but  was re-recorded by the Jamaican song bird Cecile.

The video is known more popularly as the amazing skipping video, it was filmed at the Brownsville Project in Brooklyn and captures some performances by American Double Dutch Champions, Jumpers In Command.

Listen to DJ Fresh speak about the background to the song and his high regard for CeCile (watch up to the  4:28 time mark) you can hang around after if you wish but the important part about Cecile is really from 1:59 -4:28.

If you dont think Cecile she killed this song check out the original version sung by Ms Dynamite. strangely enough the both have the same kind of voice but the reggae and Jamaican swagger and cadence found by Cecile puts this song over the top....maaahd

Also lets not forget another song which surely must be the breakout single for CeCile where she again showcases her singing and DJ talents on the ealy 80s hit "Changez"(strangely enough it was considered a controversial song at the time becuase of her apparent diss to the stalwarts in the dancehall arena)

Gwaan Bad Gyal Cecile you are gold in our books anytime, Oh also BTW Congrats to her on the birth of her bouncing baby daughter.

This song deserves to be played Louder

As song this is a great dance track but what makes it even better is the video which elevates the song.

If you are not familiar with dub step music this is a good example of how it gets down in particular check the break down at the 2:35 mark ( classic Dub Step )...maaad



Featuring a very So Cal video/Venice beach experience featuring LA’s hottest roller skating talent and one of the world’s best freestyle skateboarders that truly captures the energy of the song . Some of the tricks in this video are truly impressive. Its Mader than Mad 



"Louder" is a song by Drum and bass producer DJ Fresh. It features vocals from Welsh singer  Sian Evans. The song also serves as the theme song for the Lucozade Sport Lite campaign. "Louder" is considered an important landmark for dubstep  music as it was the first of the genre to reach number one on the Uk Singles chart.



My only complaint is that the video ends too soon...........maaad
