The Heatwave Chart - December 2008

Henry Heatwave's just finished his re-rub of reggae classic Train To Skaville featuring vocals from original dancehall veteran Burro Banton and it's already tearing down our dances. Watch out for the vinyl release in 2009.

Foundation reggae is also succesfully reimagined by Busy Signal's junglesque take on Ba Ba Boom, Kardinal Offishall's hip hop version of the Conversation riddim and Cage The Elephant's rapping over Lee Perry's Chase The Devil instrumental.

Plus uptempo bashment from Vybz Kartel, Mr Vegas, Sean Paul and Fudgie Springer and Bugle paying tribute to Barack Obama's massive achievement.
