Smash Riddim – 13th Street Promotions

Jamaica has been the topic of discussion these past few days. From celebrating her 64th Independence, to New York hosting its first Jamaica-themed day parade, to her exports making things happen in music, sports and more, Jamaica is always a vibe. Toronto Recording Artist Roy Woods knows she’s a vibe as well. Recently, he released his latest album, “X“. Released through Drake’s OVO Sound, the Singer looks to take back his spot with 10 new tracks that aim to keep the listener in a groove. Having a Caribbean background, he tapped into a sound for one of the tracks, and many of us would instantly recognize it.

On track 7 of Roy Woods’ new “X” album called “Set Fire“, Dancehall Selector/Recording Artist Tony Matterhorn’s classic single “Dutty Wine” was sampled. Produced by Di Genius, a sample of the track’s Instrumental dominates the uptempo selection along with references to the “Dutty Wine” dance and lyrics. “Dutty Wine” was produced by SupaHype on the “Smash Riddim” and released through Hyperactive Entertainment in 2006, and is Tony Matterhorn’s most successful single as it broke ground on the International market, and never left. The dance caused quite the controversy over the years, but was adopted by many, including US Recording Artist Beyonce, who performed in a number of her routines.

Roy Woods’ “X” album is out now.

Summer is still active, and before August is over, we wanted to highlight one more Summer hit on “Oldies Sunday“. Today, we go back in time to check out Selector/Recording Artist Tony Matterhorn’s “Dutty Wine“.

Produced by SupaHype on the “Smash Riddim” and released through Smash Hyperactive Entertainment in 2006, Tony Matterhorn’s “Dutty Wine” was for the Women who had attitude, and the ability to take on the dance floor. The “Dutty Wine” dance, which required dancers to perform a rotating movement of the neck, adding various movements with it, was said to have originated around 2003 by then popular Dancer Mad Michelle and Dance Group The Attitude Girls, and given its rising popularity, it was immortalized through song. The song quickly became a hit for Matterhorn as his deejaying would place him on the forefront at the time, and the dance would grow to become a controversial one as Doctors publicly warned about its health risks. “Dutty Wine” would go on to gain International recognition, inspiring many, including Pop star Beyonce, to perform variations of the dance in music videos, and stage performances. It was also referenced by Rapper Nicki Minaj in her verse on Kanye West’s “Monster” single. On August 15, 2025, “Dutty Wine” was certified “Silver” in the UK, selling over 200,000 copies. The song would become Tony Matterhorn’s biggest hit.

Since the release of “Dutty Wine”, Tony Matterhorn would go on to release a number of singles over the years. His DJing career continued to thrive as that was his lane before becoming a Recording Artist, and would not only entertain crowds to this day with his mixes and selections, but battle fellow DJs for titles in “World Clash” competitions. “Dutty Wine” is still a party starter, and a classic.

Thank You Tony Matterhorn For this Hit!
