Wayne Smith - Sleng Teng LP

Description:
The original album from 1986 is now available again! "Sleng Teng" made history for real and is the longplayer that turned Reggae music upside down. Alongside the musicians Cleveland "Clevie" Browne & Wycliffe "Steely" Johnson, the Super Power All-Stars and Noel Davey, Wayne Smith started the digital age for jamaican music, recorded and mixed by Prince Jammy who was later re-named to King Jammy. The "Sleng Teng" riddim was created on a Casio MT-40 and some people say it is inspired amongst others by the riff from Eddie Cochran's "Somethin' Else". It is one of the most sampled tracks in Dancehall-Reggae and is as well used in tracks and remixes by M.I.A., Robyn, Arcade Fire, The Prodigy, Cypress Hill and many more. Wayne Smith (real name: Ian Smith) was born on December 5th 1965 in Water House, Kingston, Jamaica. Sadly passed away on monday 17th February 2014.
