Dancehall dream team makes ‘Anything For You’
It was the mid-1990s. In only 1985 the Sleng Teng rhythm had transformed Jamaican music in general and dancehall in particular, ushering in the era of multiple artistes on one rhythm launched from a computerised base (‘digital music’ it was called), that itself developing into the distinctive ‘boop boop’ drum pattern with Bogle.
And a number of deejays emerged almost simultaneously, creating a generation that overlapped with, and then replaced, the stars of the late 1980s, among those relative ‘oldsters’ Shabba Ranks, Supercat, Cutty Ranks and Admiral Bailey.
