The "Digital Revolution" occurred in the Jamaican music industry courtesy of a single preset on the Casio MT-40 keyboard, retailing at £100 (ish). Hidden away as a 'rock' rhythm and created by Casio engineer Hiroko Hikuda, it went on to appear on 250 different records and define Jamaica's digi age. King Jammy, owner and producer of the Jammys label used the rhythm to greatest effect, his label dominated the Jamaican scene between 1985 and 1989, releasing a huge amount of material. Dub Store Records has compiled the best of the 80's heavyweight Dancehall from the Jammys catalogue. Both the vinyl and cd feature the full vocal versions AND the dubs. A crucial selection for all Dancehall lovers.
