6. Money Mix
2017 saw a further continuation of the highly infectious dembow rhythm throughout dancehall. One of the best examples of this energy was Good Good Production‘s wicked Money Mix Riddim. Mavado took another huge forward with his single “Fresh Cash” – which UK badman Smutlee made a solid blend over “Unforgettable” as well that got nuff spins from me this year. Other standouts include Kartel’s vintage-inspired “Poco Man Skank” as well as solid cuts from Masicka, Tifa, I Octane and Ding Dong. – Deejay Theory
