Dre Skull x Loudspeaker Riddim

Loudspeaker-Riddim-Cover

We are big fans of Dre Skull at HDD HQ and could barely contain our excitement when we heard that Mixpak was due to release a brand new riddim from him featuring some of our favourite artists on vocals. The riddim has hints of groovy soca mixed with that special Dre Skull sound and features dancehall artists Beenie Man, Natalie Storm, and Popcaan alongside Soca’s biggest artist Machel Montano. The riddim will be available from Mixpak on May 22nd, and you will definitely hear us playing some of the cuts at our events this summer.

Lady Saw feat Elephant Man x Sidung

Although Lady Saw’s Sidung is confusingly similar to her hit Backshot with Spragga Benz, its a heavy hitting dancehall tune with the Energy God featuring on guest vocals. We especially love how Ele is posing as an EHL worker delivering riddims to the Muma Saw in the video for the clean version of the tune. In one of the realest interviews out there Marion chats to Entertainment Report about why she’s back in studio after baby breaks and stress breaks and how she stays relevant without saying swag. She also states that dancehall is definitely not dead on the female side and despite her love for Cham’s wife O, Tifa and Spice nobody can fill her shoes.

So Shifty Presents #Unfuckwithable

Every week the excellent So Shifty guys will bring you a performance that they deem #unf*ckwithable. You can give them suggestions on twitter just using that hashtag but ultimately they will decide. This week’s edition is from Lorna and it’s her remix of El Baile Del Choque featuring Mr Saik.

Matt Houston x Positif (Feat P Square)

In one of the more interesting collaborations of recent times French singer Matt Houston teams up with P Square for a remix to their song E No Easy. The results are spectacular the song comes across as a wicked sounding French pop song rather than something contrived. Houston turns the song into a playful summer jam and something that i’m sure will just as well in the clubs, parks and parties in Nigeria and France. We will definitely be playing it this summer.
