Yeah, last.fm plays you a lot of those guys when you listen to similar artists radio for Fantan Mojah. Actually Richie Spice radio played me Chuck Fenda "Gash Dem" and I went looking for other people on the Confessions riddim, that's when I found Fantan Mojah...

I'm with you 100%, but a proper grid would be nicer to have correct tempos in your lists, and I figure would make it easier to play around with the remix decks.

Definitely not impossible--just better done manually, like said above. (Maybe you're implying EDM style beat-matching with sync.) Match the guitar/piano riff, cue up, blend. Insert some samples, pauses, other tricks, for added effect. The guy I-Trees linked to earlier in the thread did a nice job. Check Jah Warrior's mix tapes, too.

This is not exactly EDM or hip-hop, after all (although Dancehall may work more easily.) Good luck with dub, ha. Reggae's not a real beat match genre, but it is nice to get some blends in.

So yes, I'm also watching this thread eagerly, and hope we can get some tech tips for mixing with Traktor in addition to artist/music opinions and advice.

One last thing: I'd like to request a Mad Zach reggae sound pack. It would be awesome to have some samples to layer over with the midi fighter, do some live dub stuff, even a quick bank with some horns, lasers, etc.

29.09.2013		In that case, have a look out for 'jungle cakes' some really superb stuff :-)
Vito Chesnut
29.09.2013		I agree completely Reggie. The new glitch sounding dnb works well with a reggae lyric and the crazy effects. Almost like making old school jungle mashup style live. Traktor <3
Olimpia Briden
29.09.2013		We used to listen to saxon, coxsone, sturgav etc. soundsystems

http://www.youtube.com/user/VIBEZ4ALL/videos is an awesome channel, I haven't heard so much new stuff but crews like T.O.K and ward 21 are right up my street and you can add chinese assassin and black chiney to that too, great dj's. I really enjoy stuff like studio 1, coxsone, trojan, jackie mitto, soul vendors etc.



controllerism very much reminds me of dancehall, all the bleeps and noises they used to play over the top of songs and the echo box (multiple headed tape machine!!!) effects.

29.09.2013		I like to play a bit of reggae now and again but it's strictly roots nothing better for a sunny afternoon.
Random X
29.09.2013		LoLz... This used to be dancehall when I listened to it:



Izetta Pitney
29.09.2013		I started this thread to find out how many more DJs on DJTT play dancehall and music from the Caribbean, so as to share tips tricks and music
Nga Mcquarter
23.09.2013		So I have this friend of mine, who loves an spanish rapper who does dancehall stuff, I believe the guy's called Swan Fyahbwoy or sth like that, he has a very powerful voice and he is as good live as he is in the studio, and I don't even like spanish rap! I believe he also collaborated with Busy Signal who is an English dancehall artist, right?

I don't listen too much dancehall stuff, the most dancehall-y stuff I listen to may be Major Lazer, but that even ain't dancehall, Diplo is taking the trap way, right? However there's this song from their new record called "You're No Good" which is pretty pretty cool, I believe Santigold sings, so that's already impressive.

24.09.2013		This thread takes me back to Jump Up at Rodney Bay, St. Lucia. Love the dancehall sounds, keep em coming, Boh! Boh!

23.09.2013		So, what is your question exactly, if we like the music or your looking for titles, sources etc.
If you need a record pool then latinosunidos may provide what you are looking for.

I play different styles often because i live in the Caribbean. And love all styles of music so reggae, dancehall, bubbling, merengue, bachata and mix it up all including house.

This is the most popular dancehall song at this moment on our island.



These are some popular local artists from our island Curacao it's called bubbling.







And our neighbours Aruba
