.@DaleVirgo Turns Up The Tempo With “Sunset Blvd”

Posted on by swadedavillain

For a number of years, Jamaican-born/LA-based Producer Dale Virgo has provided the sound for many of your favourite Artists. Under his DZL Records, he has produced hits for the likes of Christopher Martin, Ce’Cile, Chronixx, and many others. Having taken his talents to the US in recent time, he has been experimenting with new sounds, and for his latest release, “Sunset Blvd“, he looks to capture the high energy crowd.

Dale Virgo leans into the EDM/House Music sound for his latest release, “Sunset Blvd”. Armed with Bass, Synths, Sonics, and great energy, Virgo is ready for the ravers, the party goers, and those who live life to the fullest with this new Instrumental. Inspired by living in the Los Angeles area, he has witnessed all walk of life, and looked to bring the energy from that to his production. He was also encouraged by fellow Producer/DJ Sizzle Hop to test his waters in new sounds, and the move looks to be a very fruitful one for him. Family is very important to Virgo, and while he knows his way around the boards, his Son Zayn, and Daughter Zahara had input on the production, and share co-production credits. We expect the Streamers to love this one, the Ravers worldwide to groove to this, and the world to open even more doors for Virgo to pursue even more.

Super Beagle & Reggie Stepper Sampled On New @FreddieGibbs & @Alchemist Project

Posted on by swadedavillain

In the wee hours of Friday July 25, US Rapper Freddie Gibbs and Producer The Alchemist released their new collaborative project called, “Alfredo 2“. The new project is the sequel to their 2020 release, and features the duo sharing street tales, and a display of lyrical exercises over solid production. Fans have anticipated this project for quite some time, but some may have heard a familiar sound on one of the tracks.

On track 5 of Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist’s “Alfredo 2” named “Empanadas“, Reggie Stepper and Super Beagle’s “Cu Oonuh” was sampled throughout. Produced by Winston Riley on the “Stalag Riddim” and released through the Techniques label in 1993, “Cu Oonuh” was one of Stepper’s biggest singles. The intro for the track, which was performed by Super Beagle, was sampled for “Empanadas”. “Cu Oonuh” was previously sampled on Rapper Logic’s “Bobby Tarantino 2” project, its most popular sampling was done on Kanye West’s 2012 track, “Mercy“. Freddie Gibbs is no stranger to using Dancehall/Reggae in his music, and has previously worked with Agent Sasco for his “Bandana” project, and sampled Dancehall music for previous projects. We hope the respective people sampled and their estates are taken care of fairly. “Alfredo 2” is out now.

US-based R&B/Reggae Artist Tenor Blue has been on the scene for a number of years delivering music that plays heavily into his influences. With a love for R&B, Reggae, Pop, Hip Hop, and Jazz, he experimented with their sounds to make music that’s not only unique to him, but to the listener. He has been holding his own for over 2 decades, and continues to find new listeners and spaces. Earlier this year, he made some noise with the single, “Rub-A-Dub Stylee“, and recently he took it to a different place with a Dub version.

Tenor Blue pays tribute to the growth of the Dancehall and Dub era in 80s Jamaican music with the release of “Rub-A-Dub Stylee (Dub)“. Produced by Dean Fishback, the song takes us back to the foundation Artists like Supercat, Yellowman, and Sugar Minott, Producers like King Tubby, Lee “Scratch” Perry, and Scientist, and fans of Dub will be grooving to this one. The original version of Tenor’s single continues to make its rounds music and video streams, and is ready to take the new version on the road this year.  Respect to the originators.
