Posted on by swadedavillain

The Parish of Manchester has been a hotbed for plenty of talent for decades. Over the years, a number of Producers have been steadily making their names be known, with Sanjay Norman a.k.a. Steel Chest being one of them. Since the early 2010s, Steel Chest has been steering his Ship named “Outta Space Records“, providing sounds for local talent, and Artists on the rise outside of the Parish. The label would soon change its name to “Steel Chest Records“, and become a driving force for some of the newer crop of Artists who have been gaining attention thanks to Social Media. Ahead of his birthday (October 18), we share with you, “Steel Chest – A Short Film“.

Shot at his Steel Chest Studio in Manchester, we caught up with the Producer to learn about his history, switching careers to pursue music, believing in the youth, what drives him to make music, and some of the names he has worked with. Steel Chest’s name has been mentioned by some of the best in the business, and today many of you will put the face to the name. Keep watching to hear what he’s cooking up as well. 2026 has been good to the Producer, and he’s ready for the next level.

.@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.

The Streets Are “Grimey”, But Valiant & Weekday Hold Their Own

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Producer Weekday has been elevating his game for quite a while, and every release gets better. A member of Tru Ambassador Ent.’s Next Generation roster, he has been keeping the hit factory busy with his unique sounds that compliment the lyrics of some of your favourite Dancehall/Reggae Artists. He has also crossed over into Corporate Jamaica by collaborating with a number of high profile brands. He continues to be one of the in-demand Producers out, and sets the standard with his latest collaboration with Dancehall star, Valiant.

Teaming up for the new single, “Grimey”, Weekday and Valiant deliver a song about ensuring everything that is considered important in life is on point and free from corruption while in the pursuit of achieving goals. Over some solid production, Valiant reflects on some of the days where he had to struggle, and shares that despite success now, some days will find him being cautious of his surroundings and who he shares his energy with, as there are forces in the world whose aim is to cause harm, and damage reputations. Weekday’s production drives the messages home to the listener, and assists in securing another hit for the Tru Ambassador Ent. catalogue, and Valiant’s Diplomats Records. A music video for “Grimey”, which was directed by Damaniac Visuals, is set to premiere along with the new single, and features an appearance by Weekday, and Actor/Director/Media Personality Cornelius Grant.

Weekday has been lending his unique sound to the Dancehall/Reggae scene for a number of years. As a member of Tru Ambassador Next Generation, he has collaborated with the likes of 450, Deno Crazy, Pablo YG, 1SkiMask, Mavado, and Alkaline among others. He previously released the “Quarantine” and “Tears Of Joy” Riddim Compilations, and is looking forward to following up with a new Riddim later this year.

Weekday and Valiant’s “Grimey” collaboration will be out on January 11 on all digital music streaming platforms. The music video for “Grimey” will follow shortly after the single’s release with a premiere on Valiant’s official Youtube channel.
