Dancehall fire from the UK and around the world

Bare Musical Vol 2

The Heatwave's Bare Musical Vol 1 was downloaded thousands of times from the musicalbear site; this sequel followed twelve months on, collecting some of the hottest dancehall tunes around at the time. The mix opens with a few of Heatwave's own blends on the massive, funked-up Doosra riddim, a Spybase/Myddelman production. The instrumental is blended with some classic 90s ragga vocals and a recent single from Ms Thing, plus the acapella from Quality Diamond's Sunshine, the first release on Heatwave's own label, Scandal Bag.

Following on are extended version excursions on Dave Kelly's latest riddim, Bad Gal, and the Coolie Dance-esque Kopa riddim. Other featured rhythms include the squelchy, electro sounds of Phantom and Strip Tease, the dark 'n' dirty Dancehall Rock and the decidedly non-dancehall funk of Money Juggling, plus a bit of soca niceness, sizzling ska from Sizzla and a Heatwave remix on the collective's own bootleg label, Punchline. The mix is also hosted by spannered.org
