	Sleng Teng - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sleng Teng is the name given to the first fully computerised riddim(rhythm) in Jamaican music.
		Sleng Teng is among the most versioned of Jamaican riddims, with Reggae-Riddims listing over 180 versions.
		Several new cuts on the original Sleng Teng were also released by Jammys in 2005 in celebration of the riddim's 20th anniversary.

	Jamaica Gleaner - 'Sleng Teng' turns 20 - Sunday \| May 8, 2005
		The 'Sleng Teng' was released under the King Jammy imprint and featured several tracks which are memorable numbers inside the dancehall.
		Wayne Smith's 'Under Mi Sleng Teng' became the anthem for the rhythm, while other tracks like 'Pumpkin Belly' by Tenor Saw, 'Trash and Ready' by Supercat, 'Buddy Bye' by Johnny Osbourne and 'Call The Police' by John Wayne are still hailed as 'foundation tunes'.
		To commemorate the 20th birthday of the Sleng Teng, King Jammy has released the rhythm again, this time with a string of younger and fresher artistes recorded on it.

		In 1985 he recorded a youth singer called Wayne Smith with a tune called "Under Me Sleng Teng", which was to alter irrevocably the nature, and revolutionize the sound, of reggae music.
		The basis for "Sleng Teng" was a Casio "Music Box" and one of the "rock" rhythms from the box was adapted and slowed down to become a "reggae" rhythm.
		In 1995, he revived his most innovative tune on Sleng Teng Extravaganza '95, featuring the modish stars updating the rhythm with their own interpretations.

		VP Records announces the release of the re-mastered 1985 Sleng Teng Extravaganza a Riddim Driven Classic, selected for re-issue for its contemporary significance and timeless appeal.
		The Sleng Teng created in 1985 by producer Lloyd ‘King Jammy’ James has been cited as the first riddim of the modern dancehall reggae era.
		Sleng Teng ushered in the ‘digital’ sound that has dominated dancehall music ever since.

	Under Mi Sleng Teng (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Wayne Smith's "Under Me Sleng Teng" is the first reggae tune to use a digital rhythm track.
		As Beth Lesser documents in her book, "King Jammy's," the 'sleng teng' riddim--first unleashed in a Waterhouse sound clash between Jammy's and Black Scorpio--had a truly revolutionary effect on reggae.
		Still, Wyne Smith's "Under Me Sleng Teng" remains the first digital riddim track, and thus, is recognize as the root of ragga.

		It's true that several tunes pointed in the direction of this most fundamental of shifts - the semi-computerised experiments of Paul Blake and the Blood Fire Posse of the year before, for instance, or the 'robotic' rhythms created by Sly and Robbie for their Taxi imprint in the first half of the decade.
		In addition, most of them were hurriedly recording near relatives to "Sleng Teng" - including Jammy's former boss, King Tubby, for the tune that launched his Firehouse label, Anthony 'Red' Rose's Tempo.
		A couple of years later, Jammy scored another enormous dancehall hit with Pinchers' Agony - despite the closeness of its rhythm to "Sleng Teng".

		Sleng Teng-riddimen går inte att ta miste på - den märkliga, malande basgången och de krängande syntljuden i baktakt är minst sagt unika, och förklaringen till det är kanske dess något udda ursprung.
		Vid det här laget har en version av Sleng Teng spelats in av praktiskt taget alla dancehall-artister, och väldigt många skivbolag har tagit chansen att ge ut någon tagning av rytmen.
		"Sleng Teng Extravaganza 95", som Greensleeves gav ut elva år senare, erbjuder både hårda och mjuka bud när mer aktuella deejays som Bounty Killer, Ninjaman, Mad Cobra och Beenie Man, och sångare som Wayne Wonder, går loss över en lagom uppdaterad riddim med någon slags fanfar-blås i.

	Review - Wayne Smith : Under Me Sleng Teng
		However, his finest moment came early 1985 when he was directly involved in what is considered by many to be a pivotal phase in the Jamaican recording industry.
		Wayne Smith's "Under Me Sleng Teng" was the first fully-computerised riddim to properly blow up in Jamaica.
		Not only became "Under Me Sleng Teng" a massive hit around the world, its riddim continued to provide the basis for a number of reggae dancehall hits in the next two decades.

	Review : Various - Riddim Driven ~ Sleng Teng Resurrection
		Only slightly modified in the year of its 20th anniversary, with an additional lick, some horns and digital effects embellished reminiscent of the Biltmore Dub Plate Mix of 'Sleng Teng', this is a heavy scorcher.
		Junior Kelly's "You Look Fine" is an attempt to venture into the falsetto singing Sizzla has now incorporated in his style, alternated with his normal fierce delivery, before Ward 21 make it heard they are still a force to be reckoned with on their excellent "Mr.
		But despite the lack of a clean version, this album is an excellent tribute to the 'Sleng Teng'-riddim that 20 years ago changed the course of dancehall music completely and forever.

	King Jammy$
		By keeping in close contact with the grassroots, Jammy anticipated the emergence of new trends and the list of hits that came out of his camp during the 80s is staggering.
		Not only did Sleng Teng revolutionise the sound of reggae, but it also changed the structure of the Jamaican music industry.
		The Sleng Teng and Punaany rhythms have become world famous and helped to ensure that King Jammy will go down in history as the undisputed heavyweight champion of synthesised reggae beats.

	Riddim Eruption: Sleng Teng Progress 2K5
		The first in what I assume will be an ongoing series of one-rhythm albums, Sleng Teng Progress resurrects the legendary "Under Mi Sleng Teng" riddim that kick-started the digital dancehall revolution in 1985.
		Plus, the album features an attractive all-star line-up headed by Sizzla, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, and Anthony B (Not surprisingly, they lead off the album, as the recognizability of the artists dwindles down to Singer J and Christopher by the end.).
		Still, it all seems fairly pointless, unless you've never heard the Sleng Teng riddim before...in which case, you need to get out more.

	BlueBeat.com - Artist: Prince Jammy
		Wayne Smith's 1985 Jammy-produced hit, "Under Me Sleng Teng," sparked a digital revolution in the reggae world, as practically every producer of note attempted to imitate the new sound.
		With the exception of Wayne Smith's dancehall vocal, every element of the monumental "Under Me Sleng Teng" was digital.
		In the mold of the one-rhythm albums then in vogue, Jammy released an entire set of "Sleng Teng" versions on his own dubbed Sleng Teng Extravaganza.

		The occasion of Smith's and Noel Daley's tinkerings with a Casio music box has been well documented, although the unprecedented success of this event proved to be a turning point for both Smith and King Jammy.
		The resulting song, "Under Me Sleng Teng", was a massive hit around the world and led to countless versions.
		He demonstrated his talent for songwriting and singing, and drew on his formative training for programming on Sleng Teng with the tracks "Icky All Over", "Love Don't Love Me" and "Walk Like A Granny".

	Big Blunts
		Even included is a decent funk/hip-hop remix of "Sleng Teng" by Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs (The choice of beats on the remix is pretty good, since it's a slow, reggae-paced rhythm that doesn't sound too much like the dated Cypress Hill sound.).
		These 4 songs are essential listening for beginning reggae fans, but those who are more experienced will know and/or have them already (although "Pass the Kutchie" is harder to find than it should be), so it's up to the other tracks to draw many listeners in.
		Meanwhile, Ninjaman's "Legalize the Herb" and U-Roy's "Chalice in the Palace" have excellent rhythm tracks, but they have been put to better use before.

		It all began with 'Sleng Teng' in 1985.
		With Jammy working his magic at the boards and Wayne Smith eking the tune out on a cheap Casio battery-powered keyboard, the simple hypnotic track came to life and changed reggae forever.
		It just stopped your heart.' 'Sleng Teng' paved the way for much change.

		Instead, Montreal will go back to school and take some lessons from folks who have been working the dance long enough to know exactly what it means to kick it inna dancehall stylee.
		There’s clearly a renewed interest in the ’80s dancehall sound—VP Records is not only reissuing 1985’s Sleng Teng Extravaganza, but Sleng Teng Resurrection, old and new hits on the Sleng Teng riddim, a three-note Casio keyboard riff that is the most popular instrumental track in the history of Jamaican music.
		It makes sense then to speak to Yellowman, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Shinehead and Sugar Minott to get a sense of what it was, and is, all about.
