Straight inna di DJ bag! (Work those thighs, Grace.)

Happy New Year!

I got massively into dancehall over the summer, when gloomy dubstep didn't quite fit with the sweltering weather.  Here are some tunes that helped me get through my awful summer job.

Enjoy xxxx

1) Singalong!  (But overlook the chauvanistic rambling at the end.  Ouch.)



2) Did someone say 'anthemic'?



3) Head-nodder of a reggae / hip-hop crossover:



4) State of the nation track:



5) Baddest track ever from UK Garage legends:



6) I think I will try and finish every blog entry with a Ms Dynamite track. 
    It's the thinking man's end-of-the-night banger.
