King Jammy

King At The Controls - Ultimate Hits [Reggae]


RELEASE: 14.07.2006


LABEL: VP Records

VERTRIEB: Groove Attack


Lloyd 'King Jammy' James is one of Jamaica's legendary music men, as a producer, selector and creator of many classic hits. His mid-1980s productions led to the integration of synthesizer driven ('digital') sounds in dancehall reggae. The 'computer' driven sound of Jammy's "Sleng Teng" riddim for example, would become the archetype for all dancehall riddims to follow.
"King At The Controls" showcases 20 essential Jammy's hits. Demonstrating a range of styles and artists produced during one of the most prolific periods in his career and dancehall in general. The track list is a who is who of reggae on everything from love songs to hardcore party tracks.
The mixture of instrumentation and song themes display the popular trends of the time and all contain the vital element of the King Jammy's sound.

The bonus DVD contains a 60 minute retrospective biography with King Jammy interview from 2006. Extensive archival footage, interviews with artists, production crew and family round out this remarkable package.
