Studio One Pillows
Description: Sleng Teng is the name given to one of the first fully computerized riddims, influential in Jamaican music. The riddim, which was created by the collaboration between King Jammy and Wayne Smith, was titled "Under Mi Sleng Teng" in 1984. Wayne Smith found the computerized sound in Noel Davey's keyboard, and together he and Davey arranged the riddim, slowed it down, matched it to Smith's key, and rehearsed on it with lyrics inspired by Barrington Levy's "Under Mi Sensi" and Yellowman's "Under me fat ting", before taking it to Jammy's studio in late 1984. The riddim itself is apparently an attempt to recreate Eddie Cochran's 1959 rockabilly song "Somethin' Else."

Description: Roland Alphonso represented the soul of Jamaican ska through sound, movement, and musical discipline. This tribute focuses on his presence and the atmosphere of early Jamaican recordings. It reflects nights filled with rhythm, brass, and shared cultural memory. A respectful nod to music that defined an era.
