->"Dance Moves" by Sky Juice (Harvel 'Gadaffi' Hart for Annex).<-
What with my favourite garridge tunes starting to sound on closer inspection like ham-fisted Ragga (God's Gift on Pum Pum and Str8) went foraging like a horse for the real "ting".
Result. Takes the slightly loping african-ate percussion of Coolie Dance to the eight track. Faintly eastern flute-y synth (ie Java) and a belly dancing bassline bringing up the rear. Sky Juice buried somewhere messily in the mix so it sounds like he's in the music, rather than pon top after-dubbing a riddim. He's got an Onyx-meets-Ol' Dirty Bastard rasp, repeating his name and other invocations in batches of four: "lighter", "roll it up", "scoobie doo", "boom boom over the wall" and "suck your breast."
When dancehall does it right like this it's effortlessly graceful,
sophisticated and superior.
