Big tune from Shabba Ranks. For those who only know him for stuff like Mr Loverman here’s one of his more credible efforts with dancehall fans. Shabba chatting on the classic Punani riddim, definitely one of my favs, and the usual lyrics about girls winding their arses etc. I wouldn’t listen to that too much, just brock out (and ting)

A bit of R&B here from one of my preferred crooners, Jon B, not to be confused with the Drum & Bass guy. Beenie Man joining for the remix and cool little beat pushing things all along, not bad at all!

OK, bear with me on this one. When I started this blog I thought about posting up metal tunes and decided against it as I’m well aware that it might scare a few people off, even if it is a type of music that I love.
This tune is from infamous Norwegian black metal arist Burzum AKA Varg Vikernes taken from his Filosofem album. He’s kind of a cult figure and completely not a nice bloke but, sadly, he made incredible music before he decided to go round killing people and generally being a naughty boy. The black metal tag is probably a bit unfair for most of this album as a lot of it does share similarities with ambient music, albeit ambient stuff with incredibly distorted guitars and live drums. If you’re willing to take a chance then check the album out, specifically the track Dunkleheit which is absolutely amazing.
For those who are scared by guitars here’s part of a 25 minute(!) electronic piece from the album. It doesn’t do much but it somehow works

A beautiful slice of mid-90s jungle here from one of its shamefully unsung heroes, Pete Parsons. I think many people are unaware of how many huge tunes this guy was behind being the in-house engineer for Dee Jay Recording and Lucky Spin, not to mention many, many more tracks.
Voyager was probably his biggest alias for solo material and always centered around the melodic side of things. This one was the b-side of Lucky Spin 21, just one of many classic 12″s this guy put out

I’m guessing that this isn’t that unknown to people but thought I’d post it up anyway. Hard to pick a favourite from Burial’s amazing second album, Untrue, but I think I’d go with this one.
Beatless with nothing but haunting pads and vocals this tune always makes the hairs on my neck stand on end. If you haven’t heard it then go and buy the album immediately, it’s probably my favourite electronic/dance record in the past 5 years or so.
