DeemRaw Stands Out On @DJBlkLuos-Produced, “How I’m Built”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Canada-based DJ Blkluos continues to take his Production to new levels, and aligning with various names in the process. He has maintained a significant presence over the years, and his catalogue continues to grow. Recently, he tapped in with American-Jamaican Hip Hop Artist DeemRaw for the new single, “How I’m Built“.

Featuring Trap-inspired Production by DJ Blkluos, DeemRaw takes the spotlight in letting the world know that he’s cut from a different cloth, and what he’s about will make him one to align with, or make a worthy adversary. Regardless, he keeps his circle small, and he is ready for what ever is about to happen next. The single is accompanied by a music video directed by BlvckFaceRD, and shot in the Dominican Republic where DeemRaw performs the track. DeemRaw has been on the scene for a number of years, and looks to expand his presence in more territories around the world. DJ Blkluos looks to do even more with him, and listeners can be on the lookout for that.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Major Mackerel – Dutty Bungle (1988)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Happy Oldies Sunday! Today’s selection is dedicated to not aligning yourself with negative people, possessing negative energy, and practicing negativity. The Artist is Major Mackerel, and the track is called, “Dutty Bungle“.

Produced by L. Dawes and Garfield Dixon on the “Answer Riddim” and released through the Don Ban label in 1988, Major Mackerel sent a strong message on “Dutty Bungle”. With great energy in his delivery, Major shared his message of not being a part of negative things and people, and if you’re a practitioner of all things bad, there’s something around the corner to fix you. The badminded people won’t like this one, but “Dutty Bungle” was an instant hit. He soon went near and far with the track, along with other recordings.

Since the release of “Dutty Bungle”, Major Mackerel went on to score more hit singles, and secured his place in Dancehall. It also became a regularly requested song for Dubplates, which are still recorded today. He was also an influential Artist, inspiring a female version of Major Mackerel who would later on become a “Diamond“. He is still active today, voicing new music, and showing off his deejaying prowess at various events. “Dutty Bungle” remains one of his more remembered songs.

Thank You Major MAckerel For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Hugo Barrington – Loving Is A Thing (Lodi Lodi) (1986)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Happy Oldies Sunday! In music, there are many who have enjoyed successful careers, some who have not so successful ones, and then there are those who moved on to even bigger things. Today’s selection comes from someone who enjoyed a moment in Jamaican music, but moved on to a completely different sector. Many know him as Hugh Faulkner, but music fans know him as Hugh Barrington with the track, “Loving Is A Thing” a.k.a. “Lodi Lodi”“.

Produced by King Jammy’s on the “Bandelero Riddim“, “Loving Is A Thing” was released through Jammy’s Records in 1986. Hugo Barrington brings some good vibes on the track, bringing the party to anyone who is listening (thanks to his “Lodi Lodi, we love to party” line). He shares that the style that’s presented is his own, as he switches between melodic lines, chants, and speedy deejaying. Love and unity are his messages throughout “Loving Is a Thing”, and the track was an instant hit among listeners. Barrington was also the first Artist to record on the “Bandelero” Riddim long before a certain legendary Artist created a hit with a track of the same name.

Since the release of “Loving Is a Thing”, Hugo Barrington went on to release more music before leaving the scene to enjoy a career in Law. Many moons and career role changes later, he was appointed the role of Commissioner at the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM). He made a return to music in the early 2010s and in 2022 with a couple singles, and he made other contributions to the Jamaican entertainment scene as he was the founder of the “Professionals In Cabaret” concert series that enjoyed many years of success. Despite Hugo Faulkner’s gradual change of career and success, many still remember him as Hugo Barrington and his classic single.

Thank You Hugo Barrington For this Classic!
